When an alien craft lands, a local boy unwittingly finds himself trying to hide the spaceman from the local authorities in an attempt to get him back to his ship.

The visitor is from a planet called Earth, a human being. The society he lands in are little green men, little green men whos society has reached the equivalent to our 1950s culture. Around the time that films of this genre were released.

Its full of clever in jokes, some for the kids, others for their parents, as we have come to expect from this kind of animated family film. I saw this one while I was in the States just before Christmas with two children. Suffice to say they really enjoyed it.

It has been a while since I watched it, so I can't remember it in that much detail. But what I do remember is having a really good time and enjoying every minute of it. I'm sure you will too.
