Obviously the main thing that the viewer notices about Vladimir Tarasov's "Kontakt" is the "Godfather" love theme (called "Speak Softly Love"). But what really caught my eye is that the animation looks like the animation in "Yellow Submarine". The main character even looks like the cartoon version of John Lennon in that movie, and the alien shapes itself in a pair of boots that look like the kinky boot beasts (that try to stomp on the submarine).
Of course, I'm sure that this is a pure coincidence. The main thing about this short is that it's a good cartoon. The alien has one of the most interesting looks that I've ever seen in popular culture.
