The premiere of Monster Vs Aliens took place at the Savoy cinema Dublin last week and boy was it a show. It was the first time ever for a 3D movie to be shown on the Savoy's massive screen no. 1. B.O.B - The indestructable Gelatinous mass was also there to meet and greet and made it an evening to remember.

The story goes that when a meteorite from space hits a California girl named Susan Murphy and makes her grow to 50-ft tall, she is taken to a secret government compound in the Nevada Desert where she's locked away with a motley group of monsters which have also been captured over the years. Their sentence is cut short by General W.R. Monger, who, on a desperate order from The President, releases the bizarre group and calls them into action to combat an unstoppable alien force and save the world from danger!
