- TriviaAccording to the Los Angeles Times, Seth Green spent six weeks in a special sensor-equipped performance-capture suit while performing his lines as Milo. During post-production, the filmmakers noticed that Green was able to physically imitate the movements and behaviors of a 9-year-old boy, but his voice sounded too mature for the character. His voice was replaced by that of 11-year-old Seth Dusky. Green's voice still appears as the voice of one of the hippies on the '70s television show Ki watches. The first trailer, which was published on November 22, 2010, features Green's voice for Milo intact, implying that Dusky replaced the dialogue very shortly after this trailer was released.
- GoofsMilo's weight was less on Mars than Earth, which would be correct. However, when Gribble and Ki are on Earth, their weight should be higher than on Mars - by a factor of approximately three. This would have made it impossible for them to walk or really move around much at all.
- Crazy creditsThe red ball in the Image Movers Digital logo is replaced with Mars.
- Alternate versionsThere exists a cut of the movie where Seth Green's vocals as Milo are intact. Thanks to Youtuber, Cinephile Studios, However this cut of the film has the vocals of the characters be heard louder than the background Music.

Featured review
In Mars, the female babies are nursed by robots while the male babies are dumped in the junkyard under the command of Supervisor. They research Earth and finds that the boy Milo is raised by his Mon with love and discipline.
The Martians come to Earth and abduct Mon, to use her brain to instruct the robots about how to raise children. However, Milo slinks into the spaceship and comes to Mars. He meets Gribble, a young man that behaves like a child and together with the hippie Martian Ki and Gribble's friend Wingnut, they try to rescue Mon and bring her back to Earth. But Supervisor will give her best efforts to stop Milo and his friends.
"Mars Needs Moms" is a delightful underrated animation about that crazy love thing and a tribute to the mothers and to the families. There is no explanation of how the Martians breed but the wonderful story can be easy enjoyed by those that have the concept of family, and not hatchery. My vote is eight.
