Monsters vs. Aliens is a media franchise created by DreamWorks Animation. The franchise began with the 2009 film Monsters vs. Aliens and has since grown to include a short film, two television specials, and a video game.
The franchise involves a group of monsters who are assigned by the US Government to defend Earth from various alien and supernatural threats.
Monsters vs. Aliens is a 2009 American computer-animated 3-D science fiction action comedy film. It was DreamWorks Animation's first feature film to be directly produced in a stereoscopic 3-D format instead of being converted into 3-D after completion, which added $15 million to the film's budget.
The film was scheduled for a May 2009 release, but the release date was moved to March 27, 2009. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray September 29, 2009, in North America and included the easter egg to the upcoming movies and previews. The film features the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Conrad Vernon, Rainn Wilson, Kiefer Sutherland, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Rudd.
In April 2011, Jeffrey Katzenberg commented that the studio did not have plans to produce future movie genre parodies, like Shark Tale, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Megamind, saying that these films "all shared an approach and tone and idea of parody, and did not travel well internationally. We don't have anything like that coming on our schedule now."
