From what I gather, "Mars Needs Moms," coming to theaters March 11, is about a typical kid named Milo who doesn't want to be told what to do and smarts off to his mom. Later he goes to apologize and discovers his mother is being abducted by aliens who want Milo's mom to raise Martian children. Now it's up to Milo to get her back. With the help of some new and unexpected friends (not like that's ever happened in a Disney movie) they set out to liberate his mother.
Although the idea is pretty out there, kids will love it. It's rated PG, so it's a pretty safe bet for all those who wish to keep their children sheltered from controversial issues.
What kid can't relate to Milo -- someone who feeds his vegetables to his cat and jumps on his bed when his mom wants him to sleep? What parent hasn't had a mouthy kid who says hurtful things he doesn't mean in the heat of the moment?
With the ideal mothering voice of Joan Cusack and the oddly realistic-sounding 9-year-old voice of 27-year-old Seth Green, this movie, though fairly predictable, can't go wrong.
If you have kids, it might not be such a bad idea to spend Friday of spring break wearing 3-D glasses, with a child by your side. If you don't have kids, you'll probably end up waiting a few years and watching it when you're babysitting your niece on a random night.
Mars Needs Moms is an upcoming 3D computer-animated sci-fi film based on the book by Berkeley Breathed. It is set to be released on March 11, 2011 by Walt Disney Pictures and will be directed by Simon Wells. The film stars Seth Green and will be produced by Robert Zemeckis and his studio ImageMovers Digital.
The film was the final project produced by ImageMovers Digital before its closure in 2011, and it is being created using performance capture.
