As far as premises go, it’s tough to beat Planet 51’s: Take the cliché alien movies of the 1950s and reverse the formula- instead of a good-hearted alien coming to Earth, send a good-hearted human to an alien world (that just so happens to look just like earth in the 1950s) hence making mankind the alien. There are many layers of brilliance in this structure and after taking in multiple previews that showed a film that seemed to capitalize … more

Planet 51 is probably the the funniest sci-fi animated film I've seen. The animation is great - better in my opinion than the much-vaunted Pixar.
