Reviews
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Konterr Brilliant and touching
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
miholerr A little alien is a janitor in a hotel bar. He is singing along with the main act when he accidentally spills water on the mico cord, cutting the music. He gets thrown out of the club. When another alien warns him about the Chubchubbs coming, he attempts to go back in the bar to tell everyone to run, but he keeps messing up the singers performance so nobody listens. Eventually these monsters get to the club, and run into the little alien. The Chubchubbs end up eating all the monsters and singng with the little alien. I thought this movie was really cute. I thought the music was funny and really fit the moment. I thought it was creative, and you had to be paying attention to understand who the real chubchubbs were. There was not anything I did not like about this movie.
jlansky107 I thought that the plot of this film was great. The story of a clumsy janitor who had a dream of singing on stage was entertaining to me. I thought that this film had a lot of great humor including when the janitor would fall onto the leader singer. It was interesting how the director's were able to fool the view by making the Chubbchubbs look cute, instead of the being the tough monsters carrying weapons. The animation was excellent and left me wanting to watch this as a feature length film. I especially liked the Star Wars references because I am a big fan of the series. Overall, I think that this was a great film and I give it a 10 out of 10.
Michael DeZubiria ChubbChubbs, apparently, are frightening beasts that threaten the happy existence of the creatures living on the planet in question, which includes the alien from the Alien movies, Jar Jar Binks, and Yoda and Darth Vader in a wrestling match in the bar in which our hero works when we meet him. Our hero, as it were, is a lowly janitor, completely awkward an graceless but a lover of music and performing. As an alien Aretha Franklin is on stage singing Respect, he grabs his mop and sings hilariously into it, dancing around until he spills his mop water onto the plug, frying Aretha and getting himself kicked out into the cold.Once outside he is confronted by a whole line of vicious looking beasts, and does the only thing he can think to do. He starts singing and dancing for them. When one of them gives in and starts singing and clapping along, much to the chagrin of his fellow mean-looking beasts, it reminded me of something the Blue Man Group would do. This is just a clever film. I think there were a couple of other animated short films nominated for the Oscar for 2002 that should have won over this one (Cathedral and Rocks), but this is still a wonderful film. Also make sure to watch through the credits for the hilarious closing performance!
madfoot-2 I liked this little movie a lot, but the main character kind of annoyed me. It lost points for that. But I did, in the end, feel for his dilemma, and I was glad things worked out the way they did. It was funny. But... I still think Das Rad should have gotten the Oscar.
