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.

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

Muppets 2011 mentioned, thank you Sir

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?

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.”

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.

@@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.

It’s my second favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol (the first being The Muppet Christmas Carol).

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"

I vividly remember the commericals of that.

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.

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.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad either

What if instead of mars needs moms its was mars needs freaks and all the aliens got freaky

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.
