Short description
When Martians suddenly abduct his mom, mischievous Milo rushes to the rescue and discovers why all moms are so special.
What's left behind the scenes
- Berkeley Breathed’s book "Mars Needs Moms," on which the film "Mars Needs Moms" is based, came about after a quarrel between his wife and son. The main character is named Milo in both the book and the film, just like Breathed’s son.
- Here's what Breathed himself says: "The movie wouldn't exist if, on August 10, 2006, there hadn't been a half-eaten plate of cauliflower left on the Breathed's table. Young Milo, age 5, threw a tantrum and yelled something terrible at his mother, bringing her to tears. I had to explain to my screaming son what he would feel if his mother, whom he supposedly didn't love, was suddenly taken away – I made it up on the spot – by Martians! That night, I wrote the book."
- Magical digital technologies allowed the 35-year-old actor (Seth Green) to play a 9-year-old boy (Mylo).
- Every day the actors dressed in the same clothes. The same outfits (a black tight-fitting suit), hairstyles (hair swept back to keep it off their faces) and makeup (black dots placed in specific locations). All the actors wore identical black tight-fitting suits, but each had patches of a certain color to avoid confusion. Seth’s was burgundy, Mindy’s was lilac, and Elizabeth’s was green.
- Each black suit has a red vertical stripe on the right side, a green vertical stripe on the left side, and about 65 sensors placed in specifically designated areas. These markers are intended to help the controlled and static cameras.
- The Martian language was the result of the actors’ collective creativity. They invented it directly during the voice recording process.
