Monsters vs. Aliens is a media franchise produced by DreamWorks Animation. It began with a 2009 computer-animated feature film and expanded into a television series, video games, and various short films. The core premise is a pastiche of 1950s B-movies, blending classic monster tropes with alien invasion narratives. The franchise is notable for its star-studded voice cast, its use of 3D technology during the 2009 cinematic boom, and its subversion of damsel-in-distress clichés.
