DreamWorks released its animated Monsters vs Aliens movie in 2009, and it went on to gross $381 million worldwide on a $175 million budget. Later than year, the studio announced that Monsters vs Aliens would become a Nickelodeon TV series.
A trailer has been unleashed onto the web for the new show, which will premiere on Nickelodeon on Saturday, April 6. Before the official premiere, the network will air a Monsters vs Aliens special, called Welcome to Area Fifty-Something, on March 23rd.
Monsters vs Aliens tells the story of a team of monsters (Dr. Cockroach, Missing Link, B.O.B. and the 49 1/2 foot woman Ginormica) brought together to protect the Earth from invading aliens. Here’s the official synopsis:
Welcome to Area Fifty-Something, a secret desert outpost crawling with displaced monsters and aliens. Monsters and aliens have quite a bit in common -- strange appearance, superpowers and senses of humor, to name a few -- but when they are forced to work side by side in a strange land, tempers begin to boil. Watch as they do their best to get along, this Spring on Nick!
