That Time ImageMovers Made An Ugly Mars Movie...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2024
- Oh god, it's look so horrible! From the eternally creepy mocap approaches of Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers studio, comes the epitome of everything that goes wrong with their movies. Aimed towards kids, it has a message build for toddlers, all the while scaring them with visuals that are both uncomfortable and overtly sexual as well. With a plotline that fumbles the whole way through and a villain with no passable dialogue, and you've built the perfect trainwreck. I never saw this movie when it first came out. And now I wish maybe I didn't ever. This is The TERRIBLE Mars Needs Moms...

...Incredible, that this movie manages to alienate EVERY demographic to dislike this movie... - Фільми й анімація
Still waiting for its spiritual sequel...
*"Uranus Needs Dads."*

Actually it’s “Neptune Needs Nephews”
@@davyjones3105nah nah, you mean Saturn Needs Sisters

I noticed how Image Movers Digital is better off when they’re intentionally creepy, like with Monster House or Christmas Carol, than unintentionally creepy.
God I would love more movies like Monster House ❤
If this mo cap animation style didn’t go out of style with this film, I would’ve loved to see this animation used on a Frankenstein movie.
Absolutely, I get why it could be unpopular due to its uncanny vallyiness, but it has proven it can be done so right especially for deliberate horror
I am CONVINCED they just used the old audio file for the phone ringing from monster house
@@atsukana1704 Re-used sound effects are a real personal nuisance. Like that burping sound from the Simpsons.
The reason why gibble is so immature is because he basically raised himself alone on mars after his own mom was kidnapped and he failed to save her. He is not really supposed to be likable he is supposed to be a cautionary tale of what could happen to miles or whatever his name is if he didn't have his mother and you probably would have understood that if the movie communicated its themes properly.
If it was less concerned with making him a horndog who loves games then he might have had some space in his lines for something like that.
i mean, i'm not an expert on this stuff, but people who have to raise themselves because of absent parents generally don't behave like this, at all
The fact he's also an adult man child and he falls in love with the Martian teen.. yea kinda weird
@@luka9967He also is probably a little deranged because of living in isolation without human contact for decades
This movie made me cry and hug my mum for like, a good ten minutes when I was a small child. Not the movie, just the scene where Gribble tried to save his mum. We turned it off after that point in the movie and pretended it didn’t exist.
I don’t have any specific memories, but I saw this in the theater as a kid and it terrified me and made me really upset
Me too! I saw this movie in theatres and cried because I thought about how sad I would be if my mom was kidnapped by aliens lol
I was too old for this movie to have that kind of trauma (I was 21 when this came out), but even at 21, I thought that scene was disturbingly terrifying for what is ostensibly supposed to be a kid's movie.
When i saw this movie when it was aired on Disney Channel for the first time, the Gribble flashback where he was trying to save his mom but then she died was one of the most terrifying scene i saw as a kid. I feel so bad for Gribble 😢
Same. I actually cried the next morning after thinking about it for a bit, and while I didn't really/fully understand what was happening (because I was like 5 when I first saw it) it was the first time I had ever been faced with the concept of losing your parents and it deeply upset me.
The fact that Disney just kind of swept Treasure Planet under the rug (which is absolutely why it lost money, btw) is f*cking infuriating
.
Wow, I always thought this was a fever dream. But no.....unfortunately
This movie is basically the plot of a dream lmao
SAME
"I HATE THIS GREMLIN CHILD!" That! That sums up the main issue with this movie outside of the script and the visuals. Milo is just terrible the entire runtime and even boils being a mom to "housework" later on. Just... Horrible.
This movie scarred me as a kid for a while, it was terrifying to my little baby brain
"Who Sleeps on 3 Pillows Anyways?"
Well i sleep on 2 pillows is that normal?
I think so, I do that as well
I sleep on four pillows 😭
I guess it depends on how you like to sit, so it's probably normal
What’s more interesting is WHY this film was made. So the animation studio behind it was hard at work on their ambitious remake of the 1968 animated Beatles film, Yellow Submarine, but movie executives wanted a new movie from the studio NOW. Knowing they needed a lot more time to work on and perfect their new Yellow Submarine film, they turned to Berkeley Breathed’s children’s story, Mars Needs Moms, and just shat out a rushed movie adaptation of it just to pacify the movie execs. However, this was a very poor choice, not only because it does a disservice to the work of Bloom County’s creator and cartoonist, but also because the movie they made based on Berke’s story was so bad, it caused the animation studio to get completely shut down. This, of course, is what led to the cancellation of the Beatles remake they were trying so hard to buy more time for working on in the first place.
Dazzreviews actually covered this a few years back and judging from the more grotesque character redesigns; I don't think the movie would've had enough of an audience to turn a profit either. At least it still would've been more memorable than the thrown together slop that killed their CGI department.
I'm not crazy over Gribble as a character but I really liked his backstory of being in the same spot but failing. In an alt universe this movie was about Gribble and good
That's the same thought I had. Maybe if they made him less immature with still just enough of his childish wonder left to make him likeable and maybe make him act like a cool big brother rather than a complete manchild, he might be a more likeable character.
This video gets a like for "I hate this gremlin child!" alone.
“THIS CHILD ALONE LOOKS LIKE A MARTIAN”
I kinda loved this movie what was a kid? For some reason I did not find it's visuals off-putting and did not mind this weird dialogue. Yet I have to mention that it was as well somewhat traumatic on the mom plot side 💀💀💀
"Who sleeps on 3 pillows anyway" Me who has 6 pillows and 7 oversized plushies as pillows
I don't think I can ever quite forgive Robert Zemeckis for all the mo-cap. He seems to be more interested in whatever the newest gimmick is than actually making a good movie, and even his better movies like BTTF and Roger Rabbit are like that, but they had good stories and good producers behind them.
This. Mocap isn't groundbreaking. It's a shortcut so you don't have to pay animators.
@@WobblesandBeanthat’s not at all why, they still need animators to basically do the entire animation as if they didn’t do mocap. The mocap is there as essentially a reference/skeleton that they can’t put the models on and speed up the animation process. Plus they also have to do all the none person animation
For the record, while Milo’s mocap was done by Seth Green, his voice was done by Seth Dusky, who was about 12 at the time. 23:38 I just felt the need to defend this movie was misinformation. 😤
Also Seth did do the voice acting as the character and then they just dubbed his voice over with the kid Dusky later on. You can find some behind the scenes of him actually trying to sound like a child and do the scenes.
I hate how this movie kind of looks strangely realistic for all the scenes and stuff, but then the character models are all super off. Its really uncanny and gross.
Animation aside, Wouldn’t it have been more points to the parenting of the mom if she was a single parent visibly balancing looking after her kid and jobs and tiny home, and the kid turning out great. Then the lashing out could be understandable when he’s getting frustrated at not having what other kids get easily toy-wise or experience-wise. His mom getting taken by the aliens and seeing her memories would then be a humbling and understanding lesson of how good he has it and how hard his mom tries, and show his mom as a person not just as a guardian. Gribble could have been like the dad/old brother character the boy never had, and he’d been trying and failing for 10 years (not 30 odd) to stop other moms getting disintegrated, and in the end could decide to stay on earth with his new family but take occasional trips to space.
I know this is a kids movie but the trauma for the characters ought to be shown. The mom screaming was hilariously close.
I have a soft spot for this movie. Watched this movie with my mama on mother's day. She cried when the mom sacrificed herself and said she would do the for me. Sooo.... I can't hate it.
The fact this is a disney movie is just shocking
I always see people criticize the faces in this, Polar Express, monster House, etc and... I don't see it?
Maybe it's because I grew up on these movies, but I think the animation is actually pretty good.
Say what you want, the film made me cry
4:06 - "Granny Piss Gremlin..."
Now that's an insult I'll need to remember for future use!
LMAO I READ THAT THE MOMENT IT WAS SAID
I remember watching this movie at around 7 years old and hating it, and I thought nothing of it until I found out it was based off a children’s book by Berkeley Breathed, the author of Bloom County which just so happens to be my favorite comic strip. When I saw this video in my notifications, I was reminded of this fact, and wouldn’t you know! The book has a completely different art direction, courtesy of Breathed’s signature style. It’s still a little ugly, but a whimsical sort of ugly that kids will find interesting, rather than the drab and uncomfortable kind of ugly the movie has, which I found out was mostly for mo-cap reasons. As for Breathed’s opinion on the movie? Apparently he did a Q n’ A about it, but I wasn’t able to find it. What I _was_ able to find was a drawing he made of the fun, kooky aliens from the book staring at a billboard with Key’s hollow face on it.
I always loved Mars Needs Moms😞
"Who sleeps on 3 pillows anyways?"
Me who sleeps on 4:
"fun" fact about gravity: It doesn't matter if the gravity is lower, what kills you isn't the "falling", it's the "stopping". When you're falling, your body accelerates downwards, and, past a certain velocity, your body won't resist the force the ground will exert to you and break apart, crushed by the parts of your body that haven't stopped (or decelerated) and the immobile ground. Lower gravity is "safer" because you take longer to achieve dangerous velocities, but if the air isn't dense enough to resist your acceleration, then you're certain to hurt yourself if you fall from high enough. With denser atmospheres your terminal velocity (the point where drag is equal to gravitational pull, so you can't accelerate anymore) is lower and so is the force you'll receive when hitting the ground, and vice-versa.
I still wonder why the martians have such big butts. Now that I'm older it makes less sense given how they are born from the ground.
Because counting direction, screenplay and production, there are 5 men and 1 woman listed on Wikipedia's little basic info box 💀
The only good thing about that movie is the fact that its Polish title is "Matki w mackach Marsa" which sounds really funny and makes for a good tongue twister.
I thought this was a fever dream I had…
You, good sir, have awoken some long lost memory
Seth greens voice was not pitched up,it was replaced late in The production by a real kid actor.
i saw this movie as a kid so i unfortunately have nostalgia
Why do the aliens talk normally even though they have no nose? "Shoudnd dey dokk lieg thiz?"
I don't know if i was brain damaged as a kid but i loved this film growing up
Real
I feel like Zemeckis and Image Movers are better off when they're utilising motion capture to be intentionally enhance the creep and the nightmare fuel factor like Monster House, Beowulf (especially towards monsters like Grendel) or A Christmas Carol (Jacob Marley and Ghost of Yet to Come) rather then unintentionally Uncanny Valley
"Who sleeps with three pillows anyway?"
...I have six.
I still have this on DVD. From what I vaguely recall, the subtitles do have words. Also, Xbox Live is still a thing, it's just mandatory now.
I always thought it was dumb that Mars wasted so many resources stealing ONE MOM. At least Jimmy Neutron’s Yokians took everybody.
Okay but like- I surprisingly was never creeped out by this movie as a kid, and I actually- enjoyed it? I mean it's not my favorite obviously, but I liked watching it and it made me value my mom more. I understand why it gets a lot of hate, but I just so happen to not have those kinds of issues with it. 🤷🏼♀️
Yo this looks like a interesting Ps1 game. So where do I plug in my controller?
Do you people not remember how ps1 games looked? They looked worse than this…
Very rare for Disney to have a flop movie
Is it though? Just look up the box office of their recent movies.
I sleep on 4 pillows.
I sleep on 2 and a half
this movie's disastrous box office performance killed Image Movers Digital's other movies that were development like a Nutcracker Movie, Yellow Submarine Remake and a Kaiju Movie by Michael Dougherty called "Calling All Robots".... and a Roger Rabbit Sequel too
This studio made monster house (which is SO good!) but then they made this crap 😭
One of the least surprising things ever was seeing that excluding the "Starring" section (bc they would not have had any say on the big alien asses), there was one (1) woman listed on Wikipedia's little basic info box 💀
I do. I sleep on 3 pillows, 4 even. It may not be good for my spine, but it's far comfier than only having 1 or 2.
Worst. Disney film. Ever
- comic book guy probably
Went to check the concept art, just to see if something was lost in translation to CGI and nope. The photoshopped chimp mouths and giant human eyes into warped faces. It almost looks like Thumbtanic/Thumb Wars.
Even the background elements and ships look like generic scifi fodder.
This movie in fact gave me nightmares as a kid
at the "chimplike martians" line I had to skip two separate ads one after the other so I heard it three times
Wait this is a real movie!? I thought it was something i imagined!
my memories of this was smash with the guardians of the Galaxy. I legit couldn’t remember which one was which.
who sleeps on three pillows?
me
its cozy ok
The place were the Martians are reminds me of the cloning facility from Star Wars
I thought it was ok when I was a kid
Here for the ALIEN BAKERY
...dats it.
They got more than 🎂 they got the whole factory
2:12 Why do they have so many Japanese paintings in the background.
Also, if you wanna see this premise but actually good, Watch Jimmy Neutron
dont you dare slander the good name of Mars Needs Moms
I watched a different review of this movie but I completely forgot everything other than how much that "ooooooooeeeiiiiooooo" noise is used.
13:00 Firing Scrod
3:16 at this moment I realized they copied Jimmy Neutron. (The movie)
SIMS 4 MUSIC AT THE END! I thought my game music wasn't off! Trying to learn about the game as the movie's development progresses?
You cannot convince me that the phone ringing sound they used in the first few minutes was not simply borrowed from monster house.
This movie scared me as a child. I was traumatized
I see the lemur from dinosaur survived and evolved into a annoying kid
Loved the sims 4 music at the end, lol 😂
Hmmmm, why do I think of The Ant Bully?.🤔
22:21 Guy hooked up with an Alien. I wonder how?.... never mind... 😅
“Who sleeps on 3 pillows anyway?”
Come on dude I sleep on three pillows.
I would not call this a great movie, or good, or even okay, but I will give it a low okay instead for bad, have seen worse.
Another thing why do people only want to see likeable protagonist kids in movies, in real life there exist kids that behave as Milo or even worse.
That movie got unnecessary hate. It was so cute ☹️ when i first watched it with my mom she didn‘t wanna see it because on how bad the reviews were. But after she watched it she loved the movie and teared up a bit. Yea the animation is a bit creepy but because they used real actors for the movie. The Tintin movie looked creepy as well at some point but no ones talking about that
i thought this movie was a fever dream, forgot it was a real movie
Heh. I remember this movie came on when I was little with my Mum in a hotel whilst we were traveling. It was fairly late at night for my age so naturally I was already quite tired and prone to emotions. Long story short, the character models, grim yet foolish tone and acid trippy dialogue had me inconsolably in fearful tears within the first portion of the movie. Probably by the time piss grandma was revealed? XD This movie really has a tonal issue. Everyone with a brain finds it stupid and boring but based on my experience of being six, it's definitely far too freaky looking for little kids lmao
did anybody else hear the sims music at the end?
For some reason 5 year old me liked this movie
Is that sims 4 loading screen music I hear at the end?
I actually liked this movie as a kid, I even had it on dvd. The visuals did make me kind of uncomfortable, but it was great for me, because I just thought about how different it was from other movies. i also really liked the tagging thing, and how the colors popped, that's what I remembered the most about the movie
Is it better if they made it "Mars Needs Family" instead of just mom? Are they allergic to Father figure or just the idea of having a complete family?
“Thank you for making it halfway through this video”
Me: “This is the halfway point!??”
if those damned dirty xenos are stealing Earth’s Babes, where TF is Duke Nukem?!
Gribble lowkey the best character
I liked the movie. A sad movie but interesting.
I snuck out of class in jr high and went to go see this this movie😂. I loved it then. It really was the catalyst for me loving the cinema
Ngl, this movie isnt bad. Its a solid 4.5/10 for me. Its pretty weird, but more importantly UNCANNY AS FUCK! I literally can not stress enough how terrifying the character designs are. Dialogue is… alright… The music is pretty good but other than that… pretty strange movie……..
I remember this movie for some reason... why? i dont know and I wish i didnt remember
Yeah… it doesn’t look so good for them 😬😬😬
Mars needs mom's sounds like an amazing doujin title I would love to read
Man, I remember enjoying that movie as a child and I'm only two minutes in the video and I'm wondering why I did
this fuckin movie was the bain of our existence in sick days... for some reason it was always playing during those days in Disney XD
The Aliens look too fine.☠️☠️
"u sav me" yeah i think there was some brain damage there
Say what you will, and yes this thing is utter crap, but it was the first movie I ever saw in a theater and is weird nostalgia for me. I loved it.
I remember starting this movie as a kid and being super uncomfortable. I gave up when the kid gave Gribble a purple nurple JFKDLS
I always figured that the Martian’s butts were big to give away they were motherly.
I remember a Questionable Content review that was really upset at the heteronormativity of this movie. When you get a 4chan tir site to call you racist and homophobic, you know you've goofed.
Nice video!
I admit Mars needs Women but not this.😒
Just looking at the Aliens you'd think they drink pee with lime.😂
OHHHH I remember this one
I like this movie and the design are nice. It is strange about how the marsions separate the genders so females dont know anything about males and now they need to learn how to make babies the old fashion way. Also the whole using moms? As a battery by letting sun beam zap them is strange like how does that work? Are the human a condition like how electricity have to be grounded kind of thing.
All excellent questions! None of which are ever addressed in the film.
This movie gave me a nightmare as a toddler
