1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** The music from the Planes "Take Flight" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7prGN78sME teaser]].
3	** El Chupacabra's "Love Machine" song.
4	** Mark Holman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkvBgNEU9Fg "Nothing Can Stop Me Now"]] that plays in the film's opening and end credits. A kickass rock song that even detractors to the film admit is awesome.
5	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMSYsN7G3UA "You Don't Stop - NYC"]] is a nice groovy jazz/hip hop song.
6	** Franz originally had a cute ear wormy polka song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRXDKNeKuRQ "Ein Crop Duster Can Race"]]. Looks like it was cut for time, which is a pity.
7	* ClicheStorm: The film is just the typical [[UnderdogsNeverLose "underdog overcomes the odds and wins in the end"]] story mixed with the dreamer template, except the characters are vehicles.
8	* CriticProof: Critics hated the film, regarding it as a bland retread of ''Cars'' [[MerchandiseDriven created only to sell more toys]]. This didn't stop the film from making back its budget.
9	* HilariousInHindsight:
10	** Dusty flying through the tunnel; in 2021, flight through a tunnel was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19fQAxys9q8 successfully performed]] for the first time.
11	** Dusty being painted in military colours becomes hilarious after another Air Tractor model, the AT-802, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Overwatch was selected by SOCOM as their new ground attack aircraft.]]
12	* MisBlamed: Much of the Hatedom for this movie is aimed at Creator/{{Pixar}} despite the movie being written and designed by Creator/DisneyToonStudios and animated by Creator/PranaStudios in India (due to outsourcing).
13	* MoralEventHorizon: Ripslinger sending Ned and Zed to sabotage Dusty during the China-Mexico stretch. Not only would Dusty have been lost at sea and eventually lose fuel, but he would outright die if it weren’t for the Jolly Wrenches saving him.
14	* OneSceneWonder:
15	** John Ratzenberger's character, a ditzy and MotorMouth jet-tug. Probably one of few memorable things from the movie.
16	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-pI4EiwQU Skipper's tragic backstory]] has been seen as one of the saddest scenes in both the {{Franchise/Cars}} and {{WesternAnimation/Planes}} series, even to its detractors.
17	%%* TheScrappy: Some people consider Rochelle to be this while Dusty is considered an incredibly boring and generic protagonist.
18	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Since Dusty's daydream at the beginning of the film plays like a scene from ''Film/TopGun'', it's no surprise that the soundtrack strongly resembles Music/KennyLoggins' "Danger Zone".
