Mars Needs Moms IMAX Giveaway

March 3, 2011 by Erica

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
