It could be worse. It could be…uh…I’ll get back to you on that.

I don´t know how anyone can mock the Ice Age Baby when that hairy Martian Baby exists

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.

Still better than the Star Wars holiday special shudders

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.”

Muppets 2011 mentioned, thank you Sir

A lot of people blame the character designs for people not wanting to see this movie. I personally blame the title.

I will never understand why Robert Zemeckis fell so much in love with motion capture CGI.

Shout out to the 6 other people besides me who actually saw this in theaters.

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.

Also, the score by John Powell is really nice. Too bad it got wasted with a uncanny feature

dude.....that Rubebrface "introducing janet" reference though, GODLY

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).

You wanna know something that I think is crazy? Mars Needs Moms came out 19 days before my sister was born

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.

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?

I vividly remember the commericals of that.

This video is a 100/10
Why?
Media Mementos is wearing a Idaho pin, and being a Idahoan myself, I feel great to see someone showing love to my state :)
