Alaina Gleen (film)

Alaina Gleen is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated action-adventure comedy film produced by Twentieth Century Fox Animation for 20th Century Fox. Based on the Fox Kids animated television series of the same name, it was the fourth feature film in the Fox Animated Features canon, as well as the first installment in the studio's reboot franchise of the original series. It was written and directed by series creator Thalia Ward and co-directed by David Soren and from a screenplay by Ron J. Friedman, Jonathan Aibel, Glenn Berger, Dan Fogelman, and Steve Bencich, and a story by Brad Cuddyer and Jared Brady, and stars an ensemble voice cast consisting of Kristen Bell, Zac Efron, Bill Hader, Mandy Moore, Ed Helms, Andy Samberg, Will Arnett, Reese Witherspoon, Danny McBride, Wanda Sykes, Jodi Benson, Steve Buscemi, and Alec Baldwin.

Fox had plans for a computer-animated film entitled Alaina Gleen: Next Dimensions before the release of The Alaina Gleen Movie in 2004. However, Next Dimensions was canceled shortly after the latter's release, but the project was revived in early 2007, with Thalia Ward announcing that they wanted to create a film that would "transcend generations". The film was originally developed under the title Life of Alaina Gleen; in February 2008, it was confirmed that the film would be instead a reboot simply titled Alaina Gleen. In the hopes of attracting a larger audience with better-known actors, none of the cast from the original series reprised their roles in the film. The music for the film was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh and John Powell.

Alaina Gleen premiered in Los Angeles on September 23, 2010, and was released in the United States on October 8, 2010. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who considered it as an improvement over the 2004 film and praised its animation, script, humor, score, visual style, and vocal performances. The film earned a total of $591.9 million worldwide against a budget of $155 million, making it the ninth highest-grossing film of 2010, and won the 2011 Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Animated Movie (which it tied with Despicable Me). It was later followed by two sequels: 2013's Alaina Gleen 2, and 2017's Alaina Gleen: Summer Vacation.

Plot
While a new place to live, a anthropomorphic hat named Max (Bill Hader) enters the cave of Leo Lion (Alec Baldwin), a anthropomorphic lion who has a wagon full of human food taken from a nearby rest stop. Max accidentally wakes Leo from his hibernation, and in a race to escape, causes the stash to roll out onto the nearby highway and get run over by a large truck. To avoid being eaten himself, Max promises Leo that he will completely replace the stash within the week. Max heads towards a fictional town named Applewood City in Colorado, separated from a abandoned town named Imaginary City which is made for imaginary friends and animals.
