Mars Needs Moms

Mom needs a little space.

They make nice pets.

This stop-motion family feature bombed at the US box office, causing some problems for Disney. The film is about a rebellious nine-year-old, who wishes he didn't have a mom. The Martians grant his wish and wisk mom off to Mars, where they need Earth moms to raise their kids. Junior manages to steal a ride along, and soon is hard at work on Mars trying to rescue his mother. I guess he discovered he does need her after all.

86 minutes, Parental Guidance (Violence)
