There are very few sure fire money makers at the box office these days. This summer has seen to that, several successful films done with no real cast, and a few big cast films that didn't live up to the blockbuster status people believed was coming. Animated films seem to many studios as a near sure-bet. They may have a real expense, but they generally perform well in the theater, sell toys, and they sell well on DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital after. There is no doubt that that kind of thinking drives forward the formula behind Escape from Planet Earth, which manages movie moments a bit like a check list. Despite it's formulaic structure, storyline and characters, Escape from Planet Earth is going to end up in a lot of 3D Blu-Ray collectors because, like many of those animated films, the 3D effect is very good.
