Still better than the Star Wars holiday special shudders
Been waiting for this one 😎
Can't believe I watched that movie like two times already. The first time was when I was in middle school and the second time was when I was in high school.
Hello
For someone who likes The Polar Express despite its creepy motion, capture, I’m kind of glad I never had a chance to see this film, let alone hear of it at the time. In fact, from what I’ve heard, after this film was gonna come out, Robert Zemeckis, was actually gonna do a remake of the Yellow Submarine movie using motion capture. Thank goodness that never happened.
This is one of the Disney movies that have had BOMBED hard Ooooooof and Killed off the IMD studio
It could be worse. It could be…uh…I’ll get back to you on that.
I don´t know how anyone can mock the Ice Age Baby when that hairy Martian Baby exists
dude…..that Rubebrface "introducing janet" reference though, GODLY
So Mars Needs Moms Was The Allen Gregory of Disney before they went and Bought Fox hate bringing that up sometimes and both releasing In 2011 no less crazy
Shout out to the 6 other people besides me who actually saw this in theaters.
This video is a 100/10
Why?
Media Mementos is wearing a Idaho pin, and being a Idahoan myself, I feel great to see someone showing love to my state 🙂
Its so weird that I remmeber seeing part of this Film on Netflix several Years ago, along with Hewy Toonmore & The Blockbuster Buster's seperate reviews of this Film as well and ended up forgetting all about it.
Muppets 2011 mentioned, thank you Sir
It should've been a animated film from the start, but hey Elio might become what Mars Needs Moms try to be unless it suffers story issues
The only time Zemeckis’s motion capture worked imo was A Christmas Carol. The uncanny valley, creepy feel serves a story like that. The fact that he did like four of these movies was too much, not to mention the constant use of the same actors in different roles. You’re telling me ROBERT ZEMECKIS couldn’t afford more people instead of having Tom Hanks as three separate characters in Polar Express?
Also, the score by John Powell is really nice. Too bad it got wasted with a uncanny feature

Tbh 2009’s A Christmas Carol is by far the most faithful version of Dicken’s classic story.
Well you definitely don't have a dirty mind rofl
In all honesty, I’ve always thought that ImageMoversDigital was shut down due to Mars Needs Mom becoming a failure. Upon learning that Disney’s A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey, was the one film that caused IMD to close down, along with Disney’s change in the 2010s, I was quite surprised. Even though the cast and crew had a good time despite Disney’s objections, it is unfortunate that the movie failed at the box office.
I remember in movie theaters Disney had SO MUCH CONFIDENCE in this movie I saw this gigantic poster of “mars needs moms”
And I saw the trailers look really bad! (And kind of creepy!)
By the way, I should tell you guys. If you wonder what Seth Green's performance for Milo SOUNDS like, there's a special edition on Blu Ray with the motion capture footage playing on a pop up, and Seth Green's voice is left intact.
Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad either
U think you’ll ever talk about the chocolate factory musical?
Mars needs MILFS
I guess I'm one of the few, if only, who wasn't scared of Mars Needs Moms, honestly found that whole thing to be kinda silly. That aside, glad to see things went well during the making of it (sorta).
I had no clue mars needs moms was based on the book. Nice to know production went smoothly. Still not a fan of the film. I can still tell that everyone making at least had good intentions. Great video.
Its confusing everybody says they find those motion capture movies creepy even though on the video game side of things nobody is creeped out by motion capture despite most modern games using it. I wonder what is the difference in their technology and technique.
I've never seen this movie and I doubt I ever will, but it's refreshing to hear the history of a movie flop that didn't have a hellish production.
Around this time i was more excited for the first Avengers movie at the time more than anything remember watching this in school second semester of 9th grade thought it was just okay at best meet the Robinson's had a better lesson than this
its always good when a dark tone film has a fun atmosphere on ser. a famous case of this would he the family classic "Saló"
2:47 Hahaha
Hey media mementos what’s your opinion on Disney’s Wish?
I’m personally indifferent towards Mars Needs Moms. While I don’t find it as bad as some make it out to be, it certainly left a lot to be desired.
17:34 Sound like Monsters Vs Aliens
Ah the digital straw that broke Robert Zemeckis' Company ImageMovers proverbial back.
Why were the alien girls so thicc is my question.
I’m glad the cast and crew had fun working on the movie, but it makes me sad that they chose to go the motion capture route with it. Berke Breathed’s art style is so unique and colorful, it would’ve been a treat to see a big budget 2D or 3D animated film in his style. In the end, what we got is an uncanny, ugly picture that just exists.
IMO I can kinda get Disney's point in shutting down ImageMovers Digital.
To paraphrase Pan Pizza from his retrospective on the studio:
"These Mo-Cap movies were such massive investments, yet could barely earn back the budget. They felt like tech demos desperately trying to justify the overblown effort into making them. When the CG was realistic, we(the audience) asked: why not just shoot live actors? When it was cartoony, why not animate it normally? Disney realized they'd save far more money by doing just that, so IMD is no more, but their live-action department lives on"
Those female martians are very thick.
I vividly remember the commericals of that.
Love the Ratchet & Clank music.
What if instead of mars needs moms its was mars needs freaks and all the aliens got freaky
