Very happy, traditional and old-fashioned but very family-friendly cartoons.

1. The plot is old-fashioned. Just changed the template. I have seen a lot of aliens invade the earth, and I have seen a lot of hysteria when people on earth meet aliens. Now it's the turn of the green people on Planet 51 to start yelling. The situation of humans and aliens has completely come a big replacement, the same point of view, but different vision.

2. The movie is a big skewer, and the whole film is full of spoofs and small humor. "Heterosexual", "Apollo Moon Landing Program", "Singing in the Rain"... Even the soundtrack is obvious. There are many old movies in the middle. Spanish director Jorge Blanco still did not forget to spoof the legendary American base 51. Even the name has this joking connotation.

3. Justin Lang's voice was played by the alien Rhyme. I thought it was a bit similar from the beginning, but it turned out that it was him. As for the handsome Chuck, I take it for granted that the animation company made it according to Jake Gleinhaal's template, and even the expression and tone of speech are a bit similar.

4. The bloody plot at the end is obviously poisoned by Hollywood. I don't know if it's a spoof of Hollywood's bad habit of leaving tails at the back of films, or whether it's deliberately setting a suspense and making a sequel.

5. The film is neither exciting nor boring. As this kind of comprehensive and happy package animation, it has all the things it should have. From the production point of view, it still seems that Ilion Animation Studios is full of sincerity.

6. This is not a Hollywood movie, but a cartoon from Spain. Ilion Animation Studios and HandMade Films prove that there is more to this world than DreamWorks and Pixar.

Planet 51 quotes

  • Skiff: [looking up at movie poster sign] There it is. Just two more days.

    Eckle: Wow. Humaniacs III: The Final Battle for Our World.

    SkiffEckle: Victory or extinction!

    Lem: If you guys go in costume, I'm pretending we never met.

    Eckle: Did you just say what I think you just said?

    Lem: I'm a planetarium professional now. I don't have time for kids' movies anymore.

    Skiff: [gasps] Kids' movies? I suppose next you'll say aliens don't exist!

    Lem: Duh!

    Skiff: Ha! Just as I thought! You're not Lem. You're an alien zombie, like in Humaniacs II.

    Lem: Skiff, I'm not a zombie.

    Skiff: Yeah, that's what you zombies are programmed to say. Tell me something the real Lem would know.

    Lem: Well, I know Skiff is the only nutcase who thinks the government is hiding all alien evidence in Base 9. And you give candy to your puppy so he'll poop jelly beans.

    Eckle: [exclaims in disgust]

    Skiff: It was just an experiment.

  • Lem: A cork?

    Skiff: It's your best defense against the aliens' favorite form of research. The probe. You put it...

    [points at his butt]

    Lem: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I get it.

    Skiff: Oh, wait. This is yours. I already used that one.
