Dreamworks Animation’s “Monsters vs. Aliens” has hit written all over it. If you weren’t bowled over by how funny the trailers were, then you probably don’t have a pulse. And I’m usually not one to go for these comedy kiddie animated movies, either, but I gotta admit, this has the potential to be another “Finding Nemo” or “Toy Story” and not “Iron Giant” or “Titan AE”. The trailers are hilarious, if that’s any indication.
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young California girl named Susan Murphy and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years. As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger, on a desperate order from The President, the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction!
Featuring the voice talents of Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Paul Rudd, Kiefer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Will Arnett, and Stephen Colbert as, of course, the President of the United States.
The aliens invade March 27, 2009.
