5 More ‘Cars’ Spin-Offs Disney Will Probably Make
With their new movie 'Planes,' Disney has made the first Pixar spin-off, but without all the thoughtful storytelling and breathtaking animation that usually bogs down Pixar films. Boasting to be "from above the world of 'Cars'" (so, the sky basically?), 'Planes' proves that you can make anything cute by sticking giant eyes and a mouth on it.
To celebrate the release of 'Planes,' we thought we'd offer up some suggestions for other vehicle-based animated movies that Disney could use to separate beleaguered parents from their hard-earned dollars. Take a look at some inevitable Disney would-be classics below, with posters created by Kristy Puchko.

'Greyhound'
Kristy PuchkoKristy Puchko Peter (John Krasinski) is the newest recruit to join the Greyhound ranks. But nothing in his bus university training has prepared him for Tammy (Queen Latifah), a no-nonsense vet who has seen her share of Topeka to Albuquerque runs. If Peter doesn’t get his cargo of screaming children, creepy drifters and college students going home for winter break to their destination in a timely manner, he could lose his job and be sent to the scrap heap. Will Peter win the coveted "Bus of the Year" award? Will Tammy ever get reunited with her long-lost little buses? And what’s that weird smell? No, seriously, did someone die on here? God, I should've taken Amtrak...
