Plot Outline: I was not a huge fan of "Monsters Versus Aliens". It was decent enoughentertainment, but certainly not a must-see film. After all, there havebeen quite a few 3-D CGI films and this one was no better or worse thanmost of them. Watchable, certainly, but that's about all. Well, myopinion of "B.O.B.'s Big Break" (a special feature on the DVD for"Monsters Versus Aliens") is pretty much the same--it's entertainingbut certainly nothing exceptional.This short is a prequel to the full-length film, as Susan is nowhere tobe seen. Instead, Dr. Cockroach, the Missing Link and B.O.B. star inthe film--with some support by the General. Fortunately, all are voicedby the original character actors. The story involves Doc Cockroach andthe Missing Link trying to use B.O.B. in order to escape theircaptivity in a government complex. As for B.O.B., he's oblivious as towhat is happening and believes he's having a birthday party--while DocCockroach is actually trying to turn him into a giant bomb. Where thisgoes is nice fun and naturally the General has something to say aboutall this.The film has nice CG animation and decent characters and story, butnothing ever makes this THAT interesting. If you saw the movie and notthis short, I wouldn't say you need to hurry to get around to seeingit.
