    Fantastic short

    This short is incredible, how could the director made this gem so good, with such a tight budget, Hollywood needs to give him a shot, to prove his valor, the dog was well trained and made me laugh, all the sets were great, the effects are crazy in this movie, loved the aliens and the story is something that you can only dream, congratulations to all the team involved in this production, hope to see more work from them in the future. 8/10.

    The Best Dog Family Film Ever

    The dog is adorable and to see him eat the special cookies (just like scooby doo) it´s really wonderfull, and when he wears the superman cape the movie transforms itself into something really different, one of the best family movies ever.

    Look up in the sky it´s not superman, it´s G. I. L.

    A great short, with heart, that makes you cry

    In my opinion, it's a very touching movie about a race of aliens, that creates a special dog, to taste our food, but he is very cute, it will warm your heart and make you cry. the aliens are good in this one, it's a movie for all ages, i just wish they can make more of these... I want to see him, protect our world, like superman... It has a crazy man of the government that wants to capture the dog, and knows about the aliens, but G.I.L. isn't so easy to catch. The effects are cool, the story is great, as for the actors everyone does an impressive job in their given roles.

    I highly recommend this short, and i'm waiting for more, it has a real power and an unique charm... it's a great family movie, and a heartwarming movie that will leave you with a sense of immense joy and tears.

    Family friendly, silly fun.

    This movie was good, with the only purpose of entertaining kids and grown up people too.

    The cast was good very decent acting from everyone, In conclusion, a typical family movie, very enjoyable and entertaining.
