Monsters vs. Aliens is a 2009 All-CGI Cartoon movie made by DreamWorks Animation. The movie is a Science Fiction comedy that pays homage to the monster movies of the 1950s, and uses Rule of Cool and Refuge in Audacity to hilarious effect in an almost MAD type of way.The movie was the first DreamWorks film to be produced in a 3D format, using the "InTru3D" brand technology co-developed by the studio. A special promotion ran during the Super Bowl that could be watched using 3D specs sold alongside Sobe soft drinks.The story features a four-eyed, alien fiend attacking the United States with a giant robot. After conventional weaponry proves ineffective, a high-ranking general, W.R. Monger, suggests using the monsters that the government has been capturing for 50 years and keeping in "Area 52" against them.Oh, yeah, and The President of the United States of America playing a kickass keyboard solo... of Axel F.Technically there's only one alien in the movie (except the clones) but "Monsters vs. an Alien" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.It was later followed up by a Halloween Special, entitled Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space. The monsters head out to investigate a UFO sighting in Susan's hometown on Halloween, and discover that an entire patch of pumpkins has been mutated by waste dumped on them by said UFO. These vicious vegetablesnote  Technically they're fruit rampage through the town and gobble up every piece of candy in sight, and it's up to the monsters to stop them before they turn the world into a giant pumpkin patch. The short later got a sequel in 2011 called Night of the Living Carrots, which follows up on that short's Sequel Hook.A TV series of the same name aired on Nickelodeon (of Spongebob Squarepants and The Fairly OddParents! fame) in March 2013.The monsters include: Ginormica, the most recent addition, a normal woman named Susan Murphy who has been turned into a 49 foot, 11 1/2 inch giant after being hit by a radioactive meteor — on her wedding day! B.O.B., a one-eyed, talking, brainless (literally and figuratively) and wholly-indestructible blue blob that was the product of a freak chemical accident involving a tomato and ranch dressing; Dr. Cockroach, a scientist who transformed into a humanoid roach in a freak accident during an attempt to give himself the resilience of one; Missing Link, a tough, sardonic 20,000-year-old fish-ape; Insectosaurus, a Godzilla-sized bug with the personality of a puppy.Not related to Alien, Predator, or Alien vs. Predator. (We hope not.)

Aliens Speaking English: As does the rest of the planet, apparently, because they all understand Gallaxhar's giant holographic message whether they're in Paris, Egypt, or Tokyo. The video game version plays with this. Each country gets its own version of Gallaxhar's message, which amounts to Gallaxhar butchering the language while wearing a stereotypical outfit.

Strong as They Need to Be: Downplayed. If Susan attempts to do something that should be impossible even for her (forcing open the claw of a machine twenty times her size, or tearing apart a force field designed to render her helpless), she succeeds. But it's never spelled out.

Four-Philosophy Ensemble: In B.O.B.'s Big Break, Dr. Cockroach is the realist, the Missing Link is the cynic, B.O.B. is the optimist, and the Invisible Man is apathetic. In the Halloween Special, Ginormica is the realist, Dr. Cockroach starts as the cynic and Link starts off as the optimist (they swap roles later), and B.O.B. is frankly well out of it.

Artistic License – Biology: Most of the monsters are physically impossible. Then again, that's probably the point - they were created by freak genetic mutations. In-Universe, B.O.B. fails biology forever: "She? It's a boy! Look at his boobies." Justified in that he is an idiot.

Never Trust a Trailer: The promo trailers were edited to showcase all the Monsters equally and tended to show Ginormica in the middle or the end of the line. This was an effort to disguise the fact that Susan is the protagonist.

Funny Background Event: There were probably many, but at least one is worth noting as such. When Ginormica is given her tour of the prison, B.O.B. is bouncing a ball against the wall of his cell, catching it in his ooze, spitting it out into his hand and throwing it again. At least once, he fits the ball into his eye socket instead apparently by accident, pops the eye out, throws that into the wall, and continues as if nothing had happened.

Impending Doom P.O.V.: Subverted for laughs. The opening scene shows what appears to be a gurgling monster walking into Susan's bedroom as white flashes of light appear. Turns out it's actually Susan's bridesmaids coming to wake her up for her upcoming wedding; the scary noises that were heard were just an inhaler used by one of the bridesmaids, the gurgling was just a bridesmaid drinking coffee, and the flashes of light was just a bridesmaid taking flash photos.

The Centerpiece Spectacular: The battle between the five monsters and the alien robot probe on the Golden Gate bridge. Partly thanks to its prominence in the trailers, partly because it's the turning point of Susan's characterization, and partly because there's a long build-up to it (a build-up including several crowning moments, such as the introduction of the President, the War Room scene, and the monsters getting a chance to do what they do best for the first time), it's probably better known and more popular than the actual climax.

Older Than They Look
 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_2f36d97
comment
Older Than They Look W.R. Monger is apparently 90 years old. Also, most of the monsters have been imprisoned since The '50s, appearing largely unchanged between footage of their initial rampages and their in-person likenesses decades later. Although it's inevitably hard to tell the age of a cockroach-man and a gelatinous blob (to say nothing of Insectosaurus, whose irradiation presumably delayed their adult metamorphosis by decades), Link at least shows signs of having let himself go with age, presumably due to being the sole monster of the group (until Susan's arrival) to not be artificially created nor significantly modified by science, hence his greater perviousness to natural ageing.

Not Helping Your Case: Susan has a moment in the Area when, after saying she's not a threat to anyone or anything, she accidentally backhands an escorting helicopter, causing it to crash. Also, although it comes before his objections are voiced, Susan's affectionate manhandling of her fiancé Derek certainly helped convince him he was doing the right thing when he dumped her.

'50s Hair: Despite being set in 2008, almost all human characters have standard '50s dos. Derek Deti has a crew cut, Ms. Ronson and one of Susan's roommates have short wavy hair, President Hathaway has cropped hair on the sides with a curly mop on top, and General Monger has the standard-issue flat top.

Susan/Ginormica is the only woman in the main cast ("We are in the presence of the rare female monster."). However, she is the main character and has the most Character Development of anyone else, and Took a Level in Badass. The rest of the female characters are in small, stereotypical roles, with the exception of the girl making out in a car, which reverses the usual role by being more assertive than her milquetoast boyfriend.

Hand Sliding Down the Glass: When Gallaxhar traps the giant Susan in an extraction chamber to extract the Quantonium out of Susan, she tries striking the glass to break free, but is too weakened to do so. With the Quantonium surrounding her, all that's visible of her last attempt at the glass is her outstretched hand before she slowly collapses.

Break the Cutie: Susan goes through a long and torturous process for the first part of the film. When she transforms, she's just crying for help in an understandably-distressing circumstance and worried about her fiancé before the military sedate her and rope her down. As a result of a chance encounter with a Magic Meteor, she is ripped from her beloved life, labelled a monster, and imprisoned within a hyperconfidential government facility to be essentially life-sentenced as an occasional superweapon for being unlucky. To cap it all, she then has to face a 350-foot Nigh-Invulnerable killer robot to secure her freedom and then she finds out that her fiancé didn't love her nearly as much as she deluded herself into believing. That set the stage for her reconstruction.

Unsurprisingly, she picks the latter.

Smug Snake: Gallaxhar gloats at every opportunity, and has an obnoxiously big ego, but seems to be new to the business of being an evil invader. One of the more satisfying scenes in the film is watching him flee in panic from an enraged Ginormica onboard his own ship, having twice tempted fate by smugly claiming that she can't break past his security defences.

The Smurfette Principle
 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_5d753b19
comment
The Smurfette Principle: Susan/Ginormica is the only woman in the main cast ("We are in the presence of the rare female monster."). However, she is the main character and has the most Character Development of anyone else, and Took a Level in Badass. The rest of the female characters are in small, stereotypical roles, with the exception of the girl making out in a car, which reverses the usual role by being more assertive than her milquetoast boyfriend. The jury is still out on whether Insectosaurus is female or not, since he/she has eyelashes in his/her final form as a butterfly. Even so, the ratio of female monsters to male would still be 2:3.

Undressing the Unconscious: Happens to Susan Murphy/Ginormica twice, first by the government and then by Gallaxhar. Both times she wakes up in a different outfit to the one she was wearing before rendered unconscious. An impressive feat, considering it's difficult enough to undress and redress a regular unconscious human and Susan is a 50-Foot tall giant.

 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_823c6e3e
comment
Large Ham: B.O.B. fills this trope's requirements as wonderfully as one would expect to see from Seth Rogen. Even better, the movie lampshades the fact by having him swallow Susan's mother, who remarks upon being spit out: "I taste ham." It's a pun, it's a lampshade, it's the ham trope, all in one burst. (It's even in character: B.O.B. had eaten an entire ham in the previous scene, so it makes sense that he'd actually taste like ham.) Rainn Wilson as Gallaxhar also hams it up quite a bit, as does Stephen Colbert as the President.

Also, most of the monsters have been imprisoned since The '50s, appearing largely unchanged between footage of their initial rampages and their in-person likenesses decades later. Although it's inevitably hard to tell the age of a cockroach-man and a gelatinous blob (to say nothing of Insectosaurus, whose irradiation presumably delayed their adult metamorphosis by decades), Link at least shows signs of having let himself go with age, presumably due to being the sole monster of the group (until Susan's arrival) to not be artificially created nor significantly modified by science, hence his greater perviousness to natural ageing.

Last Day of Normalcy: The story opens on Susan Murphy's wedding day, as she prepares for the big day and suffers some anxiety over it. As she stands outside to clear her head, she is hit by a meteorite full of Unobtanium that turns her into a Giant Woman during the ceremony. The government captures her and sends her to a secret facility for imprisoning monsters, despite her insistence that she isn't one. There, she makes friends with the other monsters, who are all then freed to fight an Alien Invasion.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Zig-Zagged Trope. At first, the monsters are considered a danger (and a distraction) and are kept out of the public eye in Area 52. The monsters themselves are indeed mostly too destructive to be let out, but later in the film they seem upset about the fact that they can't get out, and are enthusiastic when they are given a chance to earn their freedom. Once they are out, the trope is played straight and the monsters don't enjoy it. They later earn respect by Saving the World. Link is a good indicator of how this trope is faring at any point in the film.

Rule of Funny: The science of this is non-existent, one-dimensional characters outnumber the fleshed-out ones, and several characters hold onto the Idiot Ball. However, it's a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of 1950s horror movies, in 3-D, with Stephen Colbert as president and a recognizable voice for almost every other named character as well, so who the hell cares about all that other stuff?

General Ripper
 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_a67b86a7
comment
General Ripper: General Monger is a complete subversion. He certainly has the look of your typical General Ripper, but after The Masquerade is snapped in two by a giant alien robot, he mobilizes the monsters he's captured, and he also makes sure that they are set free afterwards. Adding to that, he proves to be a surprisingly caring and nice guy when he gives a call to Susan's parents, telling them she was going back home, and then he gives another call, to the local police, so that they don't try to shoot Susan at sight. Plus there's his reaction when the president launches all the nukes: "My God, Man. What have you done?!" Nicest General Ripper Ever.

Juggling Loaded Guns: B.O.B. is given a plasma gun by a clone, and the gun goes off in his hands and hits said clone. Later, Dr. Cockroach grabs the gun away, claiming that it should be in the hands of someone capable... and then the gun goes off in his hands and shoots another clone.

Roof Hopping: Ginormica does this in San Francisco to escape the alien robot. (Don't ask how the roofs don't crumble under her feet.) She jumps to one tilted roof that's too far for her, scrambles to hold on as she slips down, loses her grip... and safely lands on the ground, since she's almost as tall as the building.

You Do NOT Want To Know: Most of Gallaxhar's life-story is never heard by Susan (or the audience). But whatever it was, it drove him crazy enough to destroy his planet and develop a lifelong obsession with Quantonium. It also apparently involved some terrible secret his parents kept from him ("No child should ever have to go through anything like that!") and his marriage going sour.

Too Dumb to Live: It's excusable for Susan to misjudge the path of the meteor as potentially heading toward the gazebo she's in. It's not excusable when she decides to run in the same direction as it's falling, when literally any other direction would have prevented her from getting hit. Any other film and we would have had one squashed bride.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Insectosaurus is easily mesmerized by bright lights, even at the worst possible moment. When Dr. Cockroach accidentally causes the alien robot to shoot out a beam of light, Insectosaurus is distracted and essentially taken out of the fight. B.O.B. is not much better. While Susan is fighting for her life against the alien robot, B.O.B. gets distracted by a bird and has to be told by her to move the dividers and get the people off the bridge.

Ink-Suit Actor: Susan looks almost exactly like her VA Reese Witherspoon. Except that she starts as a brunette, and her size (the producers said it's ironic to see a 5'1½" actress play a giantess). General Monger and the President both slightly resemble their respective voice actors, Kiefer Sutherland and Stephen Colbert as well as seeming to have similar personalities to their most famous works. The original form of Dr. Cockroach also looks like Hugh Laurie. B.O.B. has Seth Rogen's mouth and eye shape. He's a blob, and could look like anyone, but his loose resemblance to Rogen is uncanny.

Power Trio: Despite the Five-Man Band vibe of the eponymous Monster Mash, the three all male monsters have so many scenes together, that they form this with Link as Id, Dr. Cockroach as Superego, and B.O.B. as Ego, if only because he's the happiest-go-lucky monster.

Damned by Faint Praise: The absolute best thing Link can say about the monsters' failed party - where they accidentally scared away Susan's parents and all the guests - is that it was the best party he'd been to since he got out of prison. The joke, of course, is that it's the only party he's been to since he got out of prison.

Square-Cube Law: Ginormica, Insectosaurus and the robot probes. This movie doesn't so much ignore the trope as shred it to mulch. Then again, it's too fun of a movie to really matter. Also, Monger and Gallaxhar handwave the trope in Ginormica's case by mentioning that her strength and size were both increased separately as a result of exposure to the Applied Phlebotinum.

And a security checkpoint that for severe security includes tongue, both elbows, and bare ass?note Ironically, the one kind of scan that isn't done is the one you would most expect to see - a retinal scan.

Creator Provincialism: Lampshaded with extreme prejudice by the newscaster with the line: The Modesto, California TV station is shown as having call letters starting with "W". (West coast stations all start with "K".) Considering how often writers make the opposite mistake due to this trope, this could practically count as an inversion.

Plot Tailored to the Party: Ginormica is basically the Superman to her team's Justice League until the end of the movie when she's depowered for just long enough to give the rest of her team a chance to do something useful. She is notably the only member of the team who makes any significant progress in defeating the alien robot, as Link is knocked out at the start, B.O.B. gets sick from eating too many road dividers, Dr. Cockroach is knocked out when he messes with the robot's machinery, and Insectosaurus is incapacitated by the probe's light. There is a subtle hint of Deconstruction, however, as Link gets rather depressed when he has to face the fact he isn't as powerful or useful as he used to be.

All the other monsters are given food appropriate for their species (fish for Link, garbage for Dr. Cockroach, a ham for B.O.B.), so it might just be they haven't figured out what to feed a Giant Woman and went with the most basic dish.

Go-Go Enslavement: When Gallaxhar abducts Susan, she wakes up to find herself wearing a skin-tight bodysuit. The implication is that Gallaxhar changed her clothes while she was knocked out.

High-School Sweethearts
 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_f81d8982
comment
High-School Sweethearts: The movie begins with Susan Murphy and Derek Dietl about to get married, and a prom photo◊ briefly glimpsed during the opening scene shows (and confirmed through the Art of MvA book) that they've been dating since high school. Unfortunately, after Susan gets hit by a meteor, turns into a giant, and gets taken away by the government, the wedding is postponed, and their relationship later falls apart when Derek breaks up with Susan under the belief that she would overshadow him.

Stuck On Bandaid Brand: In the video game version, The Missing Link is always referred to as such, whereas in the movie he's known more often as "Link". Presumably, this was to prevent confusion/copyright issues from that other Link.

Running Gag: Link getting his head smacked by, in succession, a manhole cover, a falling piece of the Golden Gate bridge, a diving board and the entrance to the power core on Gallaxhar's ship.

 Monsters vs. Aliens / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Ginormica leaps onto rooftops and relies on the suspension system of two sportscars to support her weight. Neither would be compatible with the mass of a 49'11.5" woman. Of course, if quantonium allows mass control (and only causes ginormification of Earthlings as a side effect), then it's just as impossible - but slightly more plausible.

MacGyvering: Exaggerated so much. Apparently, Dr. Cockroach can build a super-computer out of a pizza box, two cans of hairspray, and a paperclip. On screen, he manages to build what appears to be a nuclear bomb out of Legos (he asks Susan if she has uranium) in his spare time, and a rocket-powered, wheel-steered tram car in less than ten minutes.

Brick Joke: The nuke button is first shown when the President is about to push it (instead of the identical one that makes coffee), but he is prevented from doing so by Monger. In The Stinger, the President actually does push it, accidentally launching all the nukes. B.O.B. is shown eating ham. Later, after he gets too enthusiastic hugging Susan's mom and she falls in, he spits her out and we get this line.
