Disney’s Super Cool MARS NEEDS MOMS Poster

Walt Disney Pictures sent us their new poster for the upcoming comedy, adventure MARS NEEDS MOMS based on the book by Berkeley Breathed. I’m really excited about this film and a fan of it’s director Simon Wells. I thought he did a fine job with remake of THE TIME MACHINE based on the book by great-grandfather H.G. Wells. Although MARS NEEDS MOMS has yet to be rated, I think it’ll be a fun family film come mid-March.

Synopsis:

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.

A Few Notes On The Film:

• Berkeley Breathed, a Pulitzer-Prize winner for his comic strip “Bloom County,” is the author and illustrator of the book MARS NEEDS MOMS. The story was inspired by a particular moment of disagreement that took place between his son Milo and his wife.  
• Producer Robert Zemeckis, who wrote, directed and produced DISNEY’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL and THE POLAR EXPRESS,  is a pioneer in performance-capture filmmaking.  The process digitally captures the performances of the actors with computerized cameras in a full 360 degrees, allowing actors like Jim Carrey and Tom Hanks to play several roles of varying ages in one film, and for 36-year-old Seth Green to portray a 9-year-old. 

Released in In Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D, MARS NEEDS MOMS hits theaters everywhere on March 11th, 2011.
