Planes

As a follow up to my post about Pixar's "Up," I set out looking for facts about Disney's movie (NOT Pixar, though I thought it was) Planes. I came across this blog that had "5 Fun Facts About Disney's Planes Straight From the Directors." ( http://www.thesuburbanmom.com/2013/07/30/5-fun-facts-about-disneys-planes-straight-from-the-directors/ ) The author included one fact that I found very interetsting and applaud Disney for taking the time to do:

The Navy Influence

When Disney inserts realistic themes into a film, the most important thing is for them to be accurate — Disney takes authenticity very serious. The Navy’s influence in Planes was so important that two Navy Commanders were invited to screen an early version of the film and offer advice. And both Klay and Traci flew out to the USS Carl Vinson for a carrier landing (how awesome!) to spend a few days with the men and women onboard to experience procedures first hand. From scenes aboard a carrier to jargon used in reference to missions, Planes is heavily influenced by our Navy.
