The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (also known simply as Sharkboy and Lavagirl) is a 2006 American science fantasy comedy superhero adventure film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez and originally released in the United States on March 10, 2006 by The Weinstein Company, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Dimension Films. The film uses the anaglyph 3-D technology, similar to the one used in Game Over (2007). The film stars Taylor Lautner, Taylor Dooley, Cayden Boyd, David Arquette, Kristin Davis and George Lopez. Many of the concepts and much of the story were conceived by Rodriguez's children. The special effects were done by Hybride Technologies, CafeFX, The Orphanage, Post Logic, Hydraulx, Industrial Light & Magic, R!ot Pictures, Tippett Studio, Amalgamated Pixels, Intelligent Creatures and Troublemaker Digital. The film received negative reviews from critics with much of the criticism directed at the decision to post-convert the film into 3-D which damaged the film's visual look, and earned $69.4 million on a $50 million budget.
A boy called simply Max, living in Texas, is lonely and dissatisfied with his dull, seemingly meaningless daily life. His parents do not help, though they wish to, because their minds are precluded by their own disagreements. He has no friends at school or anywhere; therefore he resorts to his vivid imagination to create some. His efforts result in an amazing dreamworld called "Planet Drool", where endless fun and brilliant dreaming are the norm.
