Mars Needs Moms (2011) Movie Review

Hollywood film industry always want to make movies for children, for they are the beneficial target of commercial entertainment. There are some successful recent movie releases especially cartoon films like Finding Nemo, Cars, Happy Feet, Ice Age, etc., which had directly been the pleasure for the targeted children. Now, they come again with Mars Needs Moms, produced by Walt Disney Pictures film production company, an animated sci-fi family film made, especially, for children.

The story is, in its very sense, about the family value that every one is hailing even up to now. The beginning is very much natural in every day life that sometimes, somehow, children do not like their mothers (and/or fathers) being around. The children, though they know that they are “kids”, do not like to be treated and ordered as if they are “kids”. So does Milo (voiced by Seth Dusky) who feels the same. He even admits that he wish his mom does not exist. Fortunately for him, or not, the inhabitants of Mars (a planet which is said to be inhabited by aliens) kidnap his mom (voiced by Joan Cusack) and take her to the Red Planet.

Then the ongoing story reveals that every twenty five years in the planet Mars babies are born, but they do not have the real moms to “take care” of them. Instead, the plan the brain of a mom to robots who then “take care” of the babies. So Milo is determined to save his missing mom, for he really feels guilty and misses him mom. A human being there named Gribble (Dan Fogler) and a rebel martian named Ki (Elisabeth Harnois) help him to find out his mom and save her from the antagonist Mars inhabitants.
