Zemeckis's IM Digital, part of the Disney empire, has really cranked up production over the last year. IMD has an IATSE contract, we represent a lot of the employees up in San Rafael, and the projects just keep on coming:
Seth Green will star in Walt Disney Pictures' "Mars Needs Moms," an adaptation of the children's novel by Berkeley Breathed.
Simon Wells is directing the performance-capture movie, which follows a boy named Milo who stows away aboard a spaceship to rescue his mom after she's kidnapped by aliens. Green will play Milo.
The project, from Disney and filmmaker Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers, reunites Green with his "Austin Powers" mom, Mindy Sterling, who will play the alien leader of Mars ...

Pity Seth Green. His mama is going to be kidnapped and taken to Mars, in a new motion-capture Disney picture, based on the book Mars Needs Moms.
Seth will be portraying young Milo, whose mother is kidnapped and taken to Mars — and it's up to him to get her back, using all the crazy Robot Chicken ninja skills at his disposal.
The aliens' overlord will be Mindy Sterling, whom Seth worked with on Austin Powers (as the crazed yelly German). and Joan Cusack will be playing Milo's Mama.
The film, adapted from the childrens' book beautifully illustrated by by Berkeley Breathed, is being directed by Simon Wells.

Why is Disney making motion-capture? And Why is Seth Green Playing a Milo? I could go without short references for the rest of my life *sigh*

That was me, blackcauldron.
The (supposedly) comes from the fact those are the films listed on IMDb Pro for ImageMovers Digital.
They are just copied from my thread here:

I thought Spielberg was against doing a sequel to E.T?

I'm just trying to figure out what the heck the mom has on her head - that is a very odd hat!

I think it's a bandana, at least it looks like it to me. I don't really know much about this project, but it certainly looks interesting (to say the least).
