Gribble-tastic?

Mars Needs Moms (2011)

Based on the book of the same name this motion capture animated film from Disney includes the voice talent of Joan Cusack and motion captured from Seth Green (but oddly not his voice). Martians kidnap a boys mother to raise their youngsters and he goes to Mars to save her.

Having a budget of over $150mil this film really does not look that different to a number of other animated kids films and lost a ton of money at the box office. The plot is nothing special and seems fairly typical of the genre without doing anything to stand out. While the film may do nothing to justify it's massive budget it is not that bad really even if it fails to achieve that hallowed Pixar level which all such films are judged against.

3/5
