As moms, we sometimes ask for a little space, but I don’t think Mars is quite what we have in mind!
On March 11th, moms can enjoy a little earthly time out with their families thanks to Disney’s newest release, Mars Needs Moms.
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.
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. The IMAX release will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology.
Mars Needs Moms was produced by the team behind “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” and “The Polar Express,” and is based on the book “Mars Needs Moms,” which was written and illustrated by Berkeley Breathed, a Pulitzer-Prize winner for his comic strip “Bloom County.”
To celebrate the opening we have an ‘Out of this World’ IMAX Prize Pack to award one lucky reader.
Package includes:
- 1 Mars Needs Moms: An IMAX 3D Experience poster
- 1 copy of the Mars Needs Moms! book written by Berkeley Breathed
- 1 Mars Needs Moms: An IMAX 3D Experience youth t-shirt
- A family 4-pack of IMAX tickets
Entering is easy. Leave a comment below and let us know where you most like to go when you need space. This giveaway is open until Friday, March 11th. We will announce our winner on Saturday, March 12th.
Thank you IMAX for providing us with an exciting prize pack for our readers, as well as IMAX tickets for our team to check out Mars Needs Moms.

To my flower garden!

Where I go to get away is up to my room and take a bubble bath with some nice candles and soothing music.
Debby says
Quiet time is so hard to find, but I usually can do it! I don’t care where I am, just a few minutes with nobody talking is awesome!
Debby says
I usually go outside in the backyard. Only my animals are out there and they don’t talk or ask questions!

Anywhere by myself, preferably where it is quiet. Sometimes that means the bathroom or my bedroom for a few minutes of peace.
Veronica mercado says
I am happy with 10 minutes of quiet and peace in my room.
Nicole Sweet says
I love to go for walks down at the board walk. The bridge to Canada is only 5 mins from my house and is very beautiful at night with all the lights lit. When the weather isnt warn enough though I like to go to my bedroom to read, it calms me down.
Julie Cutshaw says
Entry Question? Leave a comment below and let us know where you most like to go when you need space?
My Answer: I go one of two places that I love best , to sewing room, turn on my music low and sew up creations that I see in my minds eye
or if its warmer weather, to my back screened in porch and free hand paint onto lots of rustic items like old saw blades, old wooden windows, old shutters, etc I can be there in both places all day yet it feels like just minutes passed

When I need space, I go to my garage.

Just going to the gym and having some time for myself each day gives me the space I need and it makes me feel good that I’m doing something for myself.
Gkrazykat says
I will take a walk with my dog or I will just go and sit and swing on the swing set. Sounds funny but it is nice to just sit there and watch the couds float by.

Oh, our beautiful public library has spots screaming out for me to come and decompress.

When I need to take a few minutes, I get the kids off to school and grab a foo-foo coffee drink at our local cafe before beginning my day. Works every time!

I like to escape to the gym!

I take the dogs out for a walk or I head for the basement (and the books and craft supplies).

If I could, I would go to the shores of Lake Michigan and sit on the warm sand and watch the waves. Since i’m not close enough, quite often, now I go to my bedroom and curl up with a book.
Shilah says
I like to go to Starbucks get a drink, then take my drink to the nail salon and get a pedicure.

Being a single mom doesn’t leave much room for space. But when I do feel like I need space, I like to hide out in my bedroom.
staceyk says
I go for a run, usually. But since I”m 9 months pregnant, that doesn’t work, obviously. A movie would be a great hideaway place!
nan says
i go to the beach

LaVonne says
Not sure how we’d like this one, but with free tix I am sure we’d go 😉 Thanks !

i go walk around the block

I like to take the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood.
Anne says
I like to go to my bedroom and shut the door.

I go to the front steps of the house and sit down. No one really knows where I am and then I can recollect my thoughts.
shelly says
When I need space, I like to get out and go to a book store. I find it comforting to browse through books and take my mind off things.
Susan Heim says
We live in Florida, so I love to go to the beach when I need space!
Thanks for a great giveaway.
Vilmarys says
When I need space I like to take a long drive. On my way back home I stop and pick up some movies and watch them with my daughter. This gives me space from everything else and the problems that come with it, lol.
Terra Heck says
When I need some space I like to take a long walk at the nearby trail. Thanks.
Kathy Stevenson says
I like to go to my bedroom and close the door when I need space.
Mia says
I’m not sure where I would run to IF I ever had the opportunity of my own space. A nap sounds nice or a foot massage or just floating on a raft in our pool without spashing all around.
Eileen says
What IS that exactly? 6 kids and I cant even go into the bathroom without someone knocking before I even have a minute. and even the DOG follows me in now!
My space? , back screen porch during a storm. the kids and dogs are too afraid but I sit on my porch swing, smell the rain and earth and the swinging will often lull me to a quiet brain now and then.
Lee Anne says
In front of the fireplace with a book! If it’s summer….on the patio with a book!
Thanks for a chance to win!
Barbara Manatee says
wow…we just checked Mars Needs Moms from the library this week. I had no idea the real story behind it and could barely finish reading it b/c I was fighting off tears! I hope the movie keeps the real meaning in the story!
Where do I go when I need space? the kids always find me in the den and bathroom so I’d have to say WORK! ha! I get 45 minutes of quiet planning time each morning before my students arrive that are usually the quietest part of my day.
Staci A says
I usually go for a walk or take a good book to the backyard. Thanks for the chance to enter!

Cool Giveaway. Thanks. To get away I’ll retreat into the world of family history or a good book.
Shawna says
Anywhere I can find it! It’s been years since I’ve even been able to go to the bathroom without company 🙂
Larri says
What a fabulous giveaway! 🙂
I run to my sewing room. It’ll be even better when the French Doors I bought are installed next week. I can shut myself off from the world…er, family. 😉
webly says
When I need some space and time to myself I go for a nice drive. I just get on the highway and drive while listening to 80’s music. By now my husband knows this means I will be back in 1 hour or 2. Sometimes I go for a nice walk or jog outside if it’s not too cold.
John says
Just go outside and do some stuff on our backyard.
angie says

I like to go for a walk in our local state park. It is within walking distance from where I live and quite beautiful and peaceful – perfect for when I need a little space.
