B.O.B.'s Big Break

B.O.B.'s Big Break (2009) is a Monsters vs. Aliens short you can watch online on iFILM. This eleven-minute DreamWorks spin-off brings the misfit monster crew back for a quick caper, with Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie and Will Arnett lending their voices.

Dr. Cockroach hatches a clever scheme to bust everyone out of the secret Area 52. There's just one snag: for the plan to work, he has to convince the gelatinous, brainless B.O.B. that today is his birthday. From there it all spirals — a fake party, a jailbreak and the usual gooey blue chaos that follows B.O.B. everywhere. It's bright, brisk and never overstays its welcome, exactly what a short should be. A fun little bonus for kids and for fans of the feature who want a second helping.
