United States of Terra

In what's shaping up to be one of our biggest releases ever, Roadside, along with our good chums at Lionsgate, will release the 3D animated adventure Battle for Terra on May 1st nationwide. The film premiered as a Gala Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival and features a phenomenal voicecast including (but not limited to) Evan Rachel Wood, Luke Wilson and Justin Long. Terra offers a new twist on the alien invasion movie as a peaceful civilization is threatened when humans attempt to take over their planet after exhausting the Earth's resources. Here's Variety's take on the deal. Once again, Battle for Terra will be everywhere (including the third dimension) on May 1st.
