MARS NEEDS MOMS is what happens when Disney doesn’t involve Pixar when making a computer animated film. Below is the official synopsis from Traileraddict.com
Take out the trash, eat your broccoli—who needs moms, anyway? Nine-year-old Milo (Seth Green) finds out just how much he needs his mom (Joan Cusack) when she’s nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. Produced by the team behind Disney’s A Christmas Carol and The Polar Express, Mars Needs Moms showcases Milo’s quest to save his mom—a wild adventure in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader (Mindy Sterling). With the help of a tech-savvy, underground earthman named Gribble (Dan Fogler) and a rebel Martian girl called Ki (Elisabeth Harnois), Milo just might find his way back to his mom—in more ways than one. Based on the book by Berkeley Breathed.
The animation looks lacking and the story is a bit gimmicky but then again CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS as a story didn’t look that great but was one of the best animated films of the last couple of years so you never know. The film comes out in the UK on 22nd April 2011.
