Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . (to use Warner Bros.' animated short MARTIAN THROUGH GEORGIA's favorite word) attacks on Big Religion as THE MASTER, THE ANTI-CHR!ST, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHR!ST, BEN HUR (2016), LEFT BEHIND, THE RAPTURE, RED STATE, DOGMA, FRAILITY, and ELMER GANTRY, this site will have a page for THE BOOK OF MORMON the minute it's committed to screen, just as it already does for SOUTH PARK and SEP+EMBER DAWN. However, there's no need for you to sit through a two-hour-plus feature flick to learn all the high points, ins-and-outs, and latest dope about the group to which one-time Massachusetts Gov. Mitt "I-Invented-Obama-Care" Romney belongs. MARTIAN THROUGH GEORGIA has it all, from the Magic Underwear to the Personal Planets. Several million years of Mormon History is covered here in less than seven minutes, well within the attention span of any Centurion (or is it Centennarian?) Sect President. It feels just like you're in the Salt Lake City Temple Square Visitor Center, but you can watch MARTIAN THROUGH GEORGIA in the comfort of your Own Personal Planet.

TheLittleSongbird While I am a fan of Chuck Jones and most of his cartoons, Martian Through Georgia doesn't see him at his best. That's not to say it's bad, the animation is eye-popping in colour and detail with character designs that are really quite unique. The standout was in the beginning, the expressionistic look was perfect for life on Mars. The music is vibrantly orchestrated and has a lot of character too, it does give energy to Martian Through Georgia that I don't think were there in the gags. The cartoon also begins very strongly, and Mel Blanc's voice acting is solid as rocks. Sadly, the story and humour never really catches fire. The story is certainly interesting enough in its idea, I just think that the Martian's adventures on Earth takes too much of the running time(they were interesting to see but not particularly fun, memorable or exciting), while the pacing lacked snap and excitement. And some of it feels confused and as though the cartoon is trying to do too much. Martian Through Georgia doesn't really have much that is funny let alone hilarious and the narration is not just annoying but doesn't always make sense either. The Martian is a likable titular character, just not a particularly compelling one. The ending also felt abrupt. To conclude, a cartoon that interests and one that is neither great or awful, just kind of a mixed bag. 5/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones and Abe Levitow, and co-directed by Maurice Noble, "Martian through Georgia" is a good sixties cartoon with eye-catching designs and beautiful color schemes. Life on a distant planet is great, except for one bored, miserable martian, who decides to pay a visit to the good old Earth. (Personally, I would have LOVED to have his ability at thought projection!)My favorite segments from "Martian through Georgia": Two gentlemen (both voiced by the hilarious Mel Blanc) read newspapers and exchange some funny dialogue about the martian's escape from prison. An "atom rearranger" transforms a power shovel into a mechanical monster; the construction worker is hilarious as he turns white and his cigarette drops out of his mouth.I've seen better sci-fi cartoons than "Martian through Georgia", but this short is still worth taking a look at. It can be found along with a bunch of other one-shot cartoons on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 Disc 4.

phantom_tollbooth Chuck Jones and Abe Levitow's 'Martian Through Georgia' (co-directed by Maurice Noble) seems to be a case of too many cooks spoil the broth. The excessive directorial input seems to be down to a thoroughly perplexing script by Carl Kohler and Jones himself, which places too much stock in a constant, intrusive narration which is necessary to explain exactly what is going on but is irritating nevertheless. A dark little tale of a depressed Martian who travels to Earth in search of rejuvenation but discovers only rejection and abhorrence, 'Martian Through Georgia' never locates the charm it seems to falsely believe it is in possession of. Over-stylised in every way, 'Martian Through Georgia' is undoubtedly an interesting failure but a failure nonetheless, indicative of Jones's struggle to keep Warner cartoons interesting and relevant during their waning 60s era.
