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.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
rosechocoberry ***This review may contain spoilers*** This animation short film is unique because it is about aliens who practice how they kidnap humans. A newcomer alien tries to get a man out of house with a lot of handles in UFO, however, he is stressed by his boss's staring and he starts panicking. It is very different from other films with the concept about aliens try to take human away to their planet. I can sympathize with the young alien who is still learning how to use UFO, which is very relatable for me because we all can be like that when we are new to something, and not being good at them. It reminds me of training of part time job, because it sometimes can be gone wrong like this. The aliens are expressed very humanly. I have never seen aliens so likable and funny. I think this is a little bit related to Monster's Inc. which is one of the most famous works of Pixar. I like how they make scary creatures into loveable creatures. Also, I like the way they use the end credit to keep amusing audience. In this film, they use only the sounds to lead what happen at the ending during the end credits, which is very lovely idea.
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.
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!
ruby765 Two characters in this short film look gross like monsters, but it's very funny because they seem to treat a sleeping boy as a pawn in the game. Although it's an only 5-minute film, it's enough for us to enjoy this work. I don't understand what the purpose of making it is actually, and I guess it's just for fun as killing time. So, I'd like you to watch it during lunch time, before sleeping, when you feel sad, or when you want to have fun and laugh a lot. If I can use the machine in it, I want to enjoy using it carefully although I'm supposed to make the boy die instead.
