With Disney's Planes hitting theaters this month, and a sequel called Planes: Fire & Rescue already in the works for next year, it seems that the talking vehicle craze in animation won't be going away anytime soon. Like it or not, adults, anthropomorphic vehicles have always been a part of animation, from the earlier Mickey Mouse cartoons to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? to Pixar's popular Cars franchise. And with Planes on the way, it seems obvious that studio heads are exploring other options than talking cars, and for good reason: there's a whole array of vehicles that could be given animated makeovers and funny accents to help Disney make box office gold.

Scoffed at by everyone around him, Spoke leaves home determined to find a way to compete. When he comes across the reclusive former racing champion Ratchet in a mountain cave, Spoke convinces the legendary bike to help him prepare for the grueling race.

Cheesy tagline: Prepare to be submerged in adventure.

Potential plot: Sonar, a brash young submarine, runs away from home and joins an expedition to uncharted waters, desperate to see more of his world. After becoming caught in a strong current and separated from the rest of his group, Sonar wanders the ocean floor alone until he encounters an eccentric Russian submersible by the name of Typhoon, who introduces him to the risky sport of pressure diving. Hoping to find his way home, Sonar agrees to join a skilled team of pressure-diving subs who travel the world in search of the most dangerous places to compete.
