Where do you go for Dr. Seuss’s birthday? Well, a library seems the most appropriate, but failing that Seuss Landing at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure is good too.

It’s interesting that we still don’t know much about what Dr. King is up to because this episode introduced a new villain. I already knew she’d be around for multiple episodes, and she is obviously going to make life interesting.
This episode? Well, it seems like it was supposed to introduce her, but it did feel like it was a little light.
Let’s get some of the sub-plots out of the way first, shall we?Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-17: No Ordinary Love

While Gnomeo and Juliet are busy filling seats in theaters with a close second place over the weekend, another Disney funded animation project looms near. Mars Needs Mom will launch from a theater near you beginning March 11th. It features the weird cross between animation and motion capture technology that Robert Zemeckis pioneered for Disney.
I just learned that one of my favorite cartoonists Berkeley Breathed, a Pulitzer-Prize winner for his comic strip “Bloom County,” is the author and illustrator of the book “Mars Needs Moms.” The story was inspired by a particular moment of disagreement that took place between his son Milo and his wife.
Disney recently released a new trailer for the film with a new song ‘Stay Cool’. Lyrics are below the jump if you want to sing along:
Take out the trash, eat your broccoli—who needs moms, anyway? Nine-year-old Milo (Seth Green) finds out just how much he needs his mom (Joan Cusack) when she’s nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. Produced by the team behind “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” and “The Polar Express,” “Mars Needs Moms” showcases Milo’s quest to save his mom—a wild adventure in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader (Mindy Sterling). With the help of a tech-savvy, underground earthman named Gribble (Dan Fogler) and a rebel Martian girl called Ki (Elisabeth Harnois), Milo just might find his way back to his mom—in more ways than one.
