MARS ATTACKS! is the latest directorial effort from Tim Burton, the man who brought us BATMAN and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. Small alien craft from the red planet approach Earth and decide to cause mass destruction across the land, especially in Washington and Las Vegas. To create the visual imagery for the film, Burton enlisted Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Warner Digital Studios (WDS).

MARS ATTACKS! represents yet another triumph for ILM's character animation department, and also earns Warner Digital a great deal of respect for their contibutions to the film.
