| Mania.comRob VauxEven if it doesn't offer anything truly memorable, no one will suffer any permanent damage to sit through it. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIf you ignore the slicker aspects of the dialogue (and with a little effort you mostly can), it's satisfying to find a film that is as innocent and as much visual fun as this one is. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereAn 83-minute ad aimed at kiddies for Disney merchandise made overseas. What's in your wallet? |
| Entertainment WeeklyStephan LeeDespite somewhat of a direct-to-DVD plot, the perilous and elaborate rescue scenes are certainly big-screen-worthy. Canny references to '70s television and some genuinely funny moments will give grown-ups enough fuel to cross the finish line. |
| Portland OregonianStephen WhittyThis sequel, thankfully, is faster paced, and has more action. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdIt’s nice to look at, easy to watch, and impossible to remember for the length of a car-ride home. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelElizabeth PaulsenThe movie offers some potty humor and jokes aimed at adults, but nothing the tot crowd can't handle. It isn't as predictable as its predecessor, keeping even moms and dads on the edge of their seats with its nonstop action. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThere are a scattering of inside gags, asides and blink-and-you-missed-it details for the parents. The film's focus, though, is pleasing the milk-and-cookies crowd. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerPlanes: Fire & Rescue is a good improvement over “Planes,” which Disney released last year. The story is stronger, there are some wonderful additions to the voice talent and the 3D cinematography is well-utilized. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe visuals are stunning, the details are witty...but the storyline feels like an episode of "Thomas the Tank Engine." |
