Disney’s “Mars Needs Moms” Blu-ray 3D Movie Review

August 1, 2011 |  by  |  No Comments

Any Disney movie in 3D is fun, so “Mars Needs Moms” is no exception. The movie is about “the story of a young boy’s intergalactic adventure to find his Martian-nabbed mother” and the following actors voiced characters in the movie:

- Seth Green as Milo
- Joan Cusack as Milo’s Mom
- Dan Fogler as Gribble
- Elizabeth Harnois as Ki

Also an exciting tidbit about the movie: Ryan Ochoa and his brothers Raymond and Robert voice Martian Hatchlings. So be on the lookout for their voices as you watch “Mars Needs Moms”!

The 3D Blu-ray version of the movie also comes with a Blu-ray disc and a DVD disc along with a digital copy. You can also get the movie as a Blu-ray DVD Combo Pack.

Bonus Features on the DVD include:

- “Fun With Seth” – The cast and crew had a galaxy of fun making Mars Needs Moms, thanks to the on-set antics of Seth Green and Dan Fogler. Watch them do the ROM dance and see them compete to see who can do their verbal ROM the fastest, and much more.
- Martian 101 – Do you speak Martian? Go behind the scenes and see how the producer and cast came up with their own unique Martian language. Then learn how to speak it yourself with lessons from a leading Martian language expert.

Bonus Features on the Blu-ray include:

- Everything on the DVD, plus:
- Extended Opening – The movie begins… but wait, there’s more. See it here.
- Live On Mars: The Full Motion-Capture Experience – Go way behind the scenes to the ‘space’ where the actors’ performances are captured. This feature-length, picture-in-picture viewing mode also lets you listen to director Simon Wells and actor Seth Green and Dan Fogler give a fun and insightful look into creating the movie.
- Deleted Scenes With Simon Wells introductions (4 Blu-ray 2D Exclusive Deleted Scenes) – 7 deleted scenes of which four are exclusive to the Blu-ray 2D release. Some cool scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Now you can see them with introductions by director Simon Wells.
- “Flower Power” Easter Egg – the name of the show that Ki watched and learned English from is entitled “Freaks on the Street.”

Bonus Features on the 3D Blu-ray include:

- Everything on the Blu-ray and DVD, plus:
- Mom-Napping (All-new 3D Exclusive) – There’s more than meets the eye during the Martian abduction of Milo’s Mom. This alternate scene – completely finished in 3D – tells all.

Bonus Features included with the Movie Download are:

- Everything on the DVD, plus:
- Deleted Scenes – Three deleted scenes with introductions by Director Simon Wells.

The movie was very different than many of your typical Disney films. It’s story-line was unique and much less like a fairytale than many of the other movies Disney releases. The characters were all interesting and fun to meet and follow along through the movie, however we wanted them to experience more action and adventure out in space, and perhaps that could have been accomplished if the movie had been a bit longer. All in all “Mars Needs Moms” is worth seeing just to check out something different from the Disney studio – and the 3D version is very cool!

“Mars Needs Moms” arrives on August 9th.
