*** - In this gorgeously animated but admittedly strange tale, humans have blown up the Earth, Venus and Mars, and decide to move out into the stars on a large ‘ark’ to the planet Terra, where they proceed to attempt to annihilate the nature loving cricket-tadpole-fish-bird creatures that already live there. One traitorous human decides to switch sides and help the hippie peacenik natives fend off the human invasion and thwart their plan. While this movie certainly looks nice and has quite a bit of entertainment value, the voice acting is poor, and the story has the same preachy, allegorical tone that many modern films (“Avatar” etc) seem so fond of espousing. Probably worth sitting through once - especially since it’s less than 90 minutes long – but I can’t give it too hearty of a recommendation.
