In a year when Pixar is promoting their newest artwork called “Up”, it is quite logical that other animated features will gain less publicity. It is absolutely impossible to compete with the world’s most creative studio at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try.
TriStar Pictures (Sony) is working very hard in order to promote their latest animated project called “Planet 51”, and the response is pretty good so far. There are few reasons for that:
The plot seems to be quite interesting, animation is like always best you can get (along with Disney’s and Pixar’s works) and the list of celebrities doing the voiceover is huge, literally. Tons of A-listers are involved.
Let’s start with the story: In the year 1969, on a holiday funnily titled “Space Mission Day”, NASA sends their pilot to do a research of a new, non explored planet. The astronaut finds the new planet, but fins out one of the biggest secrets – it is already inhabited. And even better, little aliens living there are happy and calm, until he came and ruined their nirvana. Now they are determined to keep their piece and he has only one mission – to go home.
This story is a great mixture of genres: Sci-Fi, Comedy, Adventure and Fantasy, and for a change, we are intruders, annoying nice peaceful settlers. Last but not least, the list of contributors from Hollywood is huge. “Planet 51” gathered Jessica Biel (future Mrs. Timberlake), Justin Long and Sean William Scott (funny guys in action), Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock, and two living legends Gary Oldman and John Cleese.
Use your kids as an excuse to go to the cinema and see this great, funny saga or organize an entertaining evening with your friends, goof around, enjoy and be careless just like when we were kids, believing in the magic of cartoons.
