Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStarting with the comedy "Don't Cry!", the credits of the director's films include a certain Rene Khobua who was involved in the episodes, but there was no real actor with that name. In reality, Rene Khobua was a Georgian builder whom Georgiy Danelia and Rezo Gabriadze met in a hotel while working on the film. They tried to "test" their script on him, while at the same time taking him to feasts with friends. Khobua listened to them obediently until it became clear that he did not know Russian well (the script was written in Russian), but out of politeness he did not mention this and simply praised everything that Gabriadze and Danelia wrote. Gabriadze suggested inserting Khobua's name into the credits of the film, and thereby thank the builder. From Wikipedia.

Featured review
This scene by scene remake of the original classic adds nothing new, but looses a whole lot in the animation. The characters, dialogue, sound effects and whole alien planet are still interchangeably similar to the original masterpiece, but what used to be a surrealistic satirical parody of our own society, is here drawn into something more reminiscent of the old Alf cartoons.
As it's exactly identical to the original, it's still a great story, and fans of the original will definitely enjoy a revisit to the wonderful desert planet of Pluke, but those who are unfamiliar with the story, are much better off seeking out the original. (At the current date, it's available on youtube in it's entirety.)
The 3D is a huge misstep though. For some reason the images flicker ever so slightly when there is movement in the screen, and even if it's almost unnoticeable, it was still bad enough that me and my company opted to take off our glasses, and switch back to 2D.
