SF Family Fun

I really enjoyed this for the little nods and winks to sci-fi precedents (the Planet 9 / Area 51 switch being one of my faves). The movie is pitched at a family entertainment level so the actual story and some of the gags may seem a bit obvious for grown-ups, but I really liked the character design, the animation, the subtle atmosphere effects (like the bits of fluff dancing in sunlight in the background during one scene) and the overall fun feel of it. I was also pleasantly surprised at its European origins which only became apparent when reading the names in the closing credits.

Highly recommend for a family Sunday session in front of the telly.
