When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under the watchful eye of a critical instructor. But abducting humans requires precision and a gentle touch, and within a few missteps it's painfully clear why more humans don't go missing every year.

GazerRise Fantastic!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
faiij This film is about a newbie alien which tries to abduct a human who is sleeping into the UFO. However, he found it really hard since he is struggling to control the switches. This movie's plot is really simple but the film itself is able to narrate it in really cute and interesting way. There are so much to talk about this film. First off, the sound effect of this makes this film more interesting and play such a critical role in expressing the tone of the film. Of course, the sound effects in animation tend to be more exaggerated but this film manage to use the sound effects to enhance the joke of character's action really well and in a good timing. The facial expressions and visual story telling are so easy to understand the character's feeling and what is going on in the movie that make the audience want to keep up with the movie and support a teenage alien because of its cuteness and clumsiness. If you like comedy animation with very cute characters, I definitely you guys watching this short film.
dreameable The story is about aliens who try to kidnap a man from his countryside house. The movie is presented in the 3d animation, which can suit this science fiction and comedy film pretty well. The film use visual storytelling to create the plot. We can understand the role and duty of each character in the very short time of the movie. They also use the music together with the scene to emphasize the action what characters is facing, making the joke even funnier. Since there are only 3 characters in the film, the story can drag us into curiosity all of the 5 minutes length. The animation itself is nicely done as high as Pixar standard. There are two aliens on the UFO, one is professional alien, one is trainee alien. They communicate through their action and facial expression. The trainee alien clearly show that he need more practice before trying to kidnap a real living thing, but the mistake ha makes is the main point that makes this movie being funny movie.
khnerostar This is a really funny and interesting short in my opinion. The short tells the story of a little alien who is doing the practical test for using an UFO and lift humans inside it, but it does not work and everything turns bad and the human hits every object inside his house. Without any piece of dialogue, the short is able to tell a story, but not a normal one, one really funny actually.The character of the little alien is the main point of the story, but I would say that the funniest character is the other big alien who is supervising the test. His face expressions and the way he acts towards the little alien are the funniest parts of the story. Also, the way that we can relate to this story even them being aliens is really big. I mean, who does not think about the driving license test while watching this short? It is a really good reference about daily life in a very original way.Finally, the short has a good outline in my opinion; is really easy to understand what is happening and why. Maybe it is because it is a film whose target are children, but I also think that there are some parts that adults can understand in other ways and I think that this makes the film really good. Good outline, good characters and funny, everything is well done.
Neradea33 This short animation movie is the story of a young alien who tries to pass an ability test for the spaceship he works in. His goal is to lift a man, sleeping in his room, and bring him to the vessel. Without any words of dialogue, the screenwriter manages to convey a really funny state of mind to the viewer by putting emphasis on comic actions and gags. Beyond, it shows a real work in terms of visual story telling because everything is focused on the way the character act and behave towards each other. Another thing that is remarkably well conveyed through this visual work is suspense. Even though it is not comparable to a normal movie in this term (it is not a long movie with a lot of sequences, a lead character that we know and a solid plot) a lot of questions come to our mind as viewers (Is the Alien going to pass the test successfully? What will he get if he passes?) This funny side of the plot stays during the whole movie. From the beginning to the end, the movie is really humourous and enjoyable! Therefore, I would recommend you take 5 minutes to watch it!
