"Aliens in the Attic" is composed of "Super Invincible Master Dog IV: Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit " (Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) and " Madagascar " (Madagascar) Mark Burton, who was waiting for the script of the animation work, gave the overall story inspiration, and then co-written the original script with another screenwriter, Adam F Goldberg. At the time, Burton just wanted to create a fantastic fantasy work, which must contain all the Movie elements he likes-high-end adventure, unexpected horror and suspense, and extremely intelligent originality. In addition to various sex and cute characters, it has to be classified as the kind of family drama that is suitable for everyone in the family to watch together. Burton, who was also involved in the script creation, lives in London with his wife and family. One day, when he and his friends who had grown up together were gathering and chatting downstairs, his children and friends' children were chatting upstairs. He was looking for his own fun. This situation and this scene suddenly gave Burton great creative inspiration. He couldn’t help but imagine: “If the children are fighting invaders from outer space, and the people downstairs We didn't even realize what happened upstairs, what kind of story environment would it create?"
For Mark Burton, imagination is the master and center of the adventure story that takes place in the attic. The more imaginative the more convincing, but the inspiration for his creation of "Aliens in the Attic" comes from the real world. Yes, Burton recalled: "When my children were young, we often walked around with neighbors who had children around. We were sitting in the dining room chatting, and then we found that all the children suddenly disappeared upstairs, and They always seem to be in extreme excitement, and they are always playing games of running around or throwing things at each other. One day, I just looked up at the constantly shaking ceiling on my head, and then couldn’t help thinking: if it’s true. Is going on a war that we don’t know. What kind of picture will it look like? And this has become the most basic premise of the story that "Aliens in the Attic" follows. This is a story about Aliens invade the Earth’s Movie works, but it is the children who really control the situation, and the adults don’t know all of this."
In the film, the children made a weapon called the "Potato Gun" in order to fight the aliens, which became their main combat tool. At the same time, they also made good use of the existing technology-the "Mind Controller" from another planet. They had a brainstorm and decided to make good use of the devices used by aliens to control human thinking. Help them repel the ambitions of the invaders. These shrewd and very creative designs are all conceived and manufactured by Mark Burton. This tool, classified as a high-tech weapon, is an arrow-like sophisticated equipment that can be implanted into the brain of an adult. Below the cortex, the goal of controlling their thoughts and behaviors is not only able to make them obedient puppets, but also to give them superpowers that ordinary people can’t imagine, making them instantaneously indestructible. warrior. The controller is like a computer game motherboard, not only has a joystick available for use, but also a microphone device that can translate alien language and human language into each other. This machine that specializes in remote control thinking allows users, whether they are aliens or humans, to have a telepathic ability that allows the other party to be manipulated like a marionette. The children of the Pearson family had a whim and slightly changed the ultimate design concept of this device from outer space to make it for their own use. Burton couldn’t help but recall the source of inspiration when he created it. Said: "First of all, what I need is a reason that can explain well why adults cannot participate in this war against aggression.
Because this weapon that specializes in manipulating thinking is only effective for adult humans, but has no effect on children, which also makes children the last line of defense in the defense of the earth. Not only that, this cleverly designed device also indirectly brings a lot of fun to the story: if your slow-moving grandmother suddenly becomes a super martial arts fighter who completely ignores the gravity of the earth, it will be What kind of interesting scene? When children have mastered this very practical and effective weapon, how will they use it to control their sister's boyfriend who is totally ignorant? As a small device that can be developed and used indefinitely, it can derive a lot of comedy atmosphere. "
