A sequel, titled Planes: Fire & Rescue, is scheduled for theatrical release on July 18, 2014.[14][54] Bobs Gannaway, the director of Secret of the Wings, will direct the film. Dane Cook, who will reprise his role of Dusty, will be joined by Julie Bowen as the voice of Lil Dipper.[55] Rather than publish an Art of book for Planes, Chronicle Books will publish The Art of Planes 1 & 2 to coincide with the release of the sequel.[56]
The official synopsis reads: "Planes: Fire & Rescue features a quirky crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from a raging wildfire. When world famous air racer Dusty learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of wildfire air attack. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous air attack team, including spirited super scooper Lil Dipper, heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero."
