Trailer Time: Mars Needs Moms!

Disney has released the first trailer for Mars Needs Moms!, the next film from Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMoversDigital. They're the same folks behind The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, and other performance capture flicks.This will actually mark the final film from the company, which is closing it's doors next year. Sad days. I really like the improvements they've made over the years.  Check out the trailer below followed by the plot, and look out for Mars Needs Moms! on March 11th, 2011!



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.
