It could be worse. It could be…uh…I’ll get back to you on that.
Probably worse than Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill Movie, FoodFight, Norm of the North, Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, Meet The Spartians, The Bratz Movie, The Live-Action Jem & The Holograms Film and Disaster Movie, right?
Definitely do the legend of Oz. It's definitely a huge scam
@@tayloredwards4968 How big of a Scam was it?
2011 was the worst year for Hollywood anyway even for disney
@@user-kc4ie3nw6r Not every Film and/or TV Show from each Year can be winners
I don´t know how anyone can mock the Ice Age Baby when that hairy Martian Baby exists
Atleast the Ice Age Baby has the excuse of being early 2000s traditional cgi made in Maya. Martian baby has no excuse
Still better than the creepy CGI baby from Son of the Mask.
Nothing can beat that monstrosity @@roberttreacy8271
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"
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.
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.
I love Beowulf myself, Ray Whinestone was magnificent
Still better than the Star Wars holiday special *shudders*
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.
Muppets 2011 mentioned, thank you Sir
Also, the score by John Powell is really nice. Too bad it got wasted with a uncanny feature
The reason why movies like Rango, Monster House, Adevnture of Tintin and even ones from Japan like Gantz O and FF7 Advent Children worked better compared to other motion capture photo realistic animated films was because the creators made sure to stylized the characters enough where they don’t look “too human.”
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?
Oh he could afford more people, he just wanted Tom Hanks in every role for whatever reason. And if you think THAT'S crazy, he wanted Hanks to voice EVERYONE.
@@RetroRulzMyTown Kind of like a kid's book narration or classic Thomas & those other older British shows when you think about it.
@@splat-trainproductions Oh yeah, that was the whole intent. But again, he went in over his head by straight up making Hanks a one man show for this movie. I'd be one thing if he was just voicing every character, but doing all the motion capture on top of that? It's needlessly tedious on their part.
@@RetroRulzMyTown At least the train is awesome. Trains are so freaking cool, man.
@@RetroRulzMyTown Not to mention that if CG was realistic, why not just shoot live actors since that'll be way more cost sufficient
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).
dude.....that Rubebrface "introducing janet" reference though, GODLY
Shout out to the 6 other people besides me who actually saw this in theaters.
Sooooo.....me
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.
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
Apparently Elio has gone through a *lot* of heavy rewrites, so I'm not optimistic on that one. It was supposed to have come out this past March, although I know the strikes delayed things a lot too. But the new release date is June 2025, which makes it seem like they still have a lot of work to do, or re-do.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1I still strongly doubt it’ll be a success, partly because of potential competition from Ballerina and (God help us) the live-action HTTYD, and partly because it’s now the only original Disney/Pixar film in a sea of sequels (something which probably isn’t going to change anytime soon given the recent layoffs), but mainly because Disney has a just plain *horrible* track record at the box office when it comes to Sci-Fi, especially in the past quarter-century. With all those factors in mind, I strongly believe Elio is doomed almost by default
@@bullmonty764lilo and stitch is a sci fi film and look how that movie did when it came out
@@georgerobertson7010 Yeah that film and Wall-E are like the sole exceptions to the sci Fi thing; literally every other attempt at the genre in the last 30 years has failed miserably for Disney, even other good films like Atlantis and Treasure Planet, and often to the point of breaking records for historic flops
This video is a 100/10
Why?

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
At least Allen Gregory was actually GOOD, given how ahead of its time it was.
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"
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.
Maybe it’s because of the age of the tech at the time.
Movies and games are like apples and oranges when it comes to mo-cap technology
To be fair Mary Jane in Spider-Man 2 does fall into that uncanny valley
I will never understand why Robert Zemeckis fell so much in love with motion capture CGI.

Tbh 2009’s A Christmas Carol is by far the most faithful version of Dicken’s classic story.
If follows the original text nearly word for word from what I can remember from 7th grade.
It’s my second favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol (the first being The Muppet Christmas Carol).
Thank Christ that Yellow Submarine remake never happened.
I vividly remember the commericals of that.
A lot of people blame the character designs for people not wanting to see this movie. I personally blame the title.
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.
Funny thing? I SAW it in theaters, and yep, me and my mom were literally the only ones there. It was actually kinda eerie, but kinda relaxing.
@@RetroRulzMyTown You and her have the theater all to yourselves
For some reason, I also always thought that the studio shut down because of this movie when in actuality it was the movie that was made prior to it along with Disney interfering. Also, hey Bailey!
I saw this movie on a bus during a school fieldtrip
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.

This is one of the Disney movies that have had BOMBED hard Ooooooof and Killed off the IMD studio
13:15 maybe not?
@@DrewtheStew1999 Oooooh rnever mind about that part but at least I got the first one right
Honestly, if I made this movie, I would have it be in live-action.
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.
Been waiting for this one 😎
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.
Ah the digital straw that broke Robert Zemeckis' Company ImageMovers proverbial back.
Their live-action department lives on, it's just the animation division that was shuttered
After Disney’s Wish, I think I could re-appreciate Mars Needs Moms despite its waterfalls of issues.
What if instead of mars needs moms its was mars needs freaks and all the aliens got freaky
robert zemeckis made great classics like who framed roger rabbit or back to the future,but he thoought that motion capture movies were the future, and he was so wrong about that.
Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad either
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.
Love the Ratchet & Clank music.
don't have any money for a patreon, but do have a great video idea you should do on next after whatever you're doing You do a history video on Twice Upon A Time form 1983
2:47 Hahaha
I watched once. My thoughts were that it the story and visuals didn't mix. The visuals were way too realistic for the cartoony story. So it ended up just making me feel weird
17:34 Sound like Monsters Vs Aliens
Hello
Why were the alien girls so thicc is my question.
They photoshopped E.T.'s head into Judy Hopps' body ~ Pan Pizza
Well you definitely don't have a dirty mind rofl
Indeed I don’t. 😁
Hey media mementos what’s your opinion on Disney’s Wish?
Nah, that's not important.
@@lydiajulianprower8356 why not?
U think you’ll ever talk about the chocolate factory musical?
Probably not unless a Patreon person tells him to cover its history.
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
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!)
I avoided this movie as a kid because the premise falls apart with one simple question: Since the martians obviously have genders, doesn't that mean they already have mothers?
And then years later, I saw Mr. Enter's review, and realized that the movie is even worse than I could've imagined. The movie's lesson basically boiled down to "kids need to have both a mother and a father in order to be raised properly". While I do believe that kids need both male and female role models in their lives, that's not the way they phrased it, so it seems pretty insulting to kids of single or gay parents.

Greatest motion capture movie ever
