      This video gave me appreciation for Mars Needs Moms [even if I still don't care for Mars Needs Moms as much as other shows], and I am super excited for the Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids lore video. I loved the show [although my four all time favorite shows were Dragon Tales, Bob The Builder, Scooby Doo, and Blue's Clues when I was little], and I still love the worldbuilding and fun colors. But the animation did NOT age well at all. I think the show might have actually worked in Claymation/Stop-Motion style [note that Engie Benjy and Little Robots also have bright colors and chaotic {albeit really cute} character designs but the claymation helps with the charm of the designs].

    This movie definitely has something we've kinda lost with media in general today, and that is the kid being written as a kid. Like, Milo is just openly a _brat_ and kind of clueless and dumb for much of the movie. After all the movies and shows where kids are written as emotionally mature and weirdly competent, Milo becomes refreshing to watch by comparison.

      We hate child characters for being children because the writers emphasize the bad stuff so much! This isn't a documentary about kids. It's entertainment. Child characters are not supposed to be annoying or terrible to us, the audience. It's supposed to add to the entertainment. Either drama or comedy. They made the kid WAY too bratty but also stupid in this, and it wasn't entertaining. Characters are not good just because they are realistic.
      Kids are very annoying. That's why, in fiction, you either show the good parts or show everything else in an entertaining way in some way. Also, we don't call abusive parents good parents. Just look at how people react to the parents of the show Horrid Henry. They made the beginning way too mean-spirited, too.

    It makes sense that the martians are wearing space suits on the surface, they didn't evolve to survive with no atmosphere. Mars used to have an atmosphere, which is probably the enviroment that they originally evolved in, but as the planet's core cooled down and the magnetosphere failed, the atmosphere was slowly stripped away, and they clearly had to move underground into bunkers to survive their planet dying

    I haven't seen this film but the second I saw Gribble I assumed he would be the villain that would betray Milo to get what he wants (something on mars/to get off mars in its entirety). Learning that he watched his mom sizzle out of existence thereby abandoning him in a world he doesn't know is so tragic and makes me feel bad for him -- whether he cried or yelled in that scene where Milo uses his real name.

    16:26 To answer the question of the whole year/day thing, a day on any given planet is determined boy how long it takes to make a full rotation on its own axis, while a year on the planet is how long it takes to make a rotation around the sun. This means that a year on a planet could in turn be shorter than a day on said planet.
    Mars is about 1/3 further the distance from the sun than Earth is, making its year longer, and it spins on its axis 3x slower than earth, making its days 3x longer.

    7:13 i can see how one could interpret the mother’s reaction as guilt-tripping, because yes, it is incredibly dramatic. however, i don’t really see it as the mother intentionally trying to make her son feel bad, but rather as genuine shock and her trying to think of a response back, but the words dying on her tongue as she begins to comprehend what exactly her son just said to her. i get the sense that milo, although argumentative and rude at times, has never gotten to the point where he has ever said anything that hurtful to his mom. so it’s not so much how tame his words are in comparison to other more heinous things he could’ve said, but more so how strong they were in comparison to how their normal arguments end. idk, maybe i’m looking too much into it.
    besides that, excellent video! i also have a soft spot for this film, so it’s good to see it discussed in a positive way!

    Damn, for some reason I remember Gribble coming back to earth and being Milo's new dad.
    I have no idea where this idea came from, but I watched this movie, like, a decade ago in my childhood and barely remember it.

    Fun fact: Not only did Seth Green do the motion capture for Milo, but he also originally voiced him until his lines were scrapped and dubbed over by an actual kid, implying that Robert Zemeckis didn't realize how awkward it would be to watch a realistic looking child with the voice of a grown-ass man.

    I liked this movie when I watched it, it surprised me. I was expecting to hate the Mom but I was on her side, and if anything I found it odd when Milo called himself a slave when she was doing the chores. I also remember hating Gribble at first but I liked how he changed after we saw his backstory. I felt a lot of heart in the story, even if it didn't always show up in the acting, though Gribble's actor carried 100%.
    Also I just didn't care about the aliens at all, their whole society and stuff felt like B-plot, I was in it for the moms. I think that if they ever remade this movie, or if it was at least traditionally animated or even live action, it might've done better, (also if they cleaned up the pacing a bit).

    YESSSS!!! Honestly sometimes this movie feels like a fever dream because its so hard to describe and some of my siblings genuinely just dont remember it. BUT the art from the aliens live rent-free in my head. The behind-the-scenes was really cool to watch as a kid because they literally showed how they mapped alot of Seth Greens movements and faces down to Milos size and I loved the concept as a kid. I wont lie it definitely had me bawling at the end, with a newfound appreciation for my momma. LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this classic (in my eyes) covered by you Girl

    • @cocoakoda4042
      @cocoakoda4042 3 місяці тому

      Adding in little comments as I go here- YES, Gribble was *super* weird and frustrating to watch as a kid, BUT I think it made the storyline that much more immersive! Although he was definitely immature, thats just the point! HIS mom was taken away from him and murdered, all of which he either witnessed or later learned through the next mom abduction. He had no one to raise him or guide him, especially emotionally, once his mom was taken from him. AND he was no longer on Earth, meaning no other adults ever got to teach him these either. He had no way to "adapt to society" like getting a job or being in public. He truly just *survived*, and I have to imagine he had to have alot of whimsy and entertainment to just simply not go insane or possibly even off himself. I think especially once he came around to Milo and saw how "human" he was- missing his mom and wanting to save her despite their disagreements and dispite the unlikely odds, it kinda helped remold Gribbles perspective, and maybe even gave him some nostalgia of times way past. I think he also realized subtly how small Milo was, how much Milo didnt know, and how dependent Milo could be; therefore realizing how much he had come to grown/learn himself. Having Milo around ultimately helped him mature from his "kid stuck in a mans body" perspective, and that storyline I can appreciate.

    Actually that slur from Gribble would make sense, how long has he been on Mars and what year was he at at the time his mom was kidnapped and it's not like a kid who probably isn't at grade where this stuff is taught, probably doesn't know enough to just tell him it's not ok to say that word, heck is the time in the movie our time or in the past where Natives were still mislabeled Indians. And to the people making a Mountain out of a molehill over this, Free Palestine.

The scenes where Gribble’s mom died and Milo’s mom almost died legitimately made me start tearing up for characters I barely knew about but I guess I could myself in their shoes as some who’s really close to his mom. Also Athen I think this is one of my favorite outfits from you it’s a lot more simple than the others but still amazing work the Red and orange hair is super lively and the pink on the face and shirt bring it together even more.

    I didn't watch the Second Scooby Doo movie, and I purposefully blocked the Austin Powers movies from my brain cuz... I would rather not get into it... So when I saw Seth's name pop up for TMNT 2012 in season three, my brain went "Oh! He might've been a bit older than I initially thought." Only for years later to realize "Oh wait.
