Planet 51 Cinema Release
Planet 51 - animated family movie
Planet 51 is an animated, intergalactic family adventure from Sony Pictures that combines comedy, fantasy and adventure and will be released on 4th December 2009, in the UK.
When US astronaut Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker lands on Planet 51, he discovers it’s populated by the alien equivalent of middle America who want to defend their suburban way of life from scary invaders from other worlds … like Chuck. In order to avoid becoming an artefact in the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum, Chuck has to find his way around the planet aided by his faithful robot, Rover and new friend and resident of Planet 51, Lem.
With voice-overs by Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Gary Oldman and Justin Long, the film is directed by Jorge Blanco and co-directed by Javier Abad with stunning and colourful graphics from Ilion Animation. Some tongue-in-cheek comedy Planet 51 is a spoof that draws some telling parallels with our own, often paranoid, attitudes towards tolerance and acceptance of others. Biel has been quoted as saying that the film will attempt to strike a balance between “super cheesy or really dark,” mixing humorous moments with drama and emotion. Rated PG, Planet 51 contains mild sci-fi action and some suggestive humour and will no doubt become one the “biggies” in cinemas over the Christmas period.
