Cute cartoon – well designed and constant story

This is a well-rounded story of a close encounter. The story is not unique, but the characters and interactions are unique. Mala (voice - Evan Rachel Wood), a resident of the superficially peaceful planet of Tarra, encounters a downed human pilot Jim Stanton (voice - Luke Wilson), and with his help, a robotic buddy Giddy (voice - David Cross) tries to find an alternative to all-or-nothing war. The film is great in the effect that it is not just people with white hats fighting people in black hats. The animation does not try to be any more than an animation. However, I only saw the Blu-ray version and not the 3D version. One of the fun things is to try to figure out some of the more popular voices as the different characters appear. Watching the extras on the DVD makes me think that someday there will be a 3-hour version. The voice-over reminds us that this film was made years before the advent of Bush vs. Obama, so do not read too much into the characters. In several other places in the story, they try not to be too sensitive to the movie audience. Jim cannot do a kamikaze because it would look too much like 911. I was interested in the story enough to take part and kibitz rather than just observe. However, there was nothing spectacular beyond entertainment.
