Featuring an original score from composer
Mark Mancina (
August Rush, Brother Bear), the soundtrack for
Planes, a 2013 3-D computer animated spinoff of Pixar's popular Cars franchise, devotes 24 of its 29 tracks to
Mancina's amiable, heroic, and upbeat score, while offering up five non-score cuts from the film, including Mark Holman's appropriately propulsive "Nothing Can Stop Me Now," Chris Classic and Alana D's soulful "You Don't Stop - NYC," and
Jon Stevens' hard rocking "Fly." ~ James Christopher Monger
