Planet 51


You want to steer your spaceship in the other direction of Planet 51 unless you're a pre-teen in search of anal probe butt plug jokes. Funny thing is while watching Planet 51 a couple of things occurred to me. How unfunny cartoon movies that aren't stamped by Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks really are. Planet 51 is kid's stuff.
A world of green creatures enjoy Earth-like comforts only everything's green and a clever set design element rounds off all corners. An astronaut from our planet arrives and he's considered an alien sent to take over Planet 51. Our hero, a teen with relation problems, attempts to hide the astronaut and help him return to his spaceship now surrounded by Planet 51 military types. Even kids are turning off their brain at this point.
The other thing that struck me while watching 51 has to do with those annoying commercials that run before movies in theaters. You know the cell phone warnings that involve an animated hedgehog and the producer who wants pants on the critter. Well in Planet 51 the green creatures all wear tops but no bottoms.
