Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dog in the movie is called Ripley (shown by the name on the doghouse), with the appearance close to that of the Xenomorph from Alien (1979), and is obviously an homage to Ellen Ripley, the protagonist from the Alien franchise.
- GoofsIn every instance except one, the city/town is spelled "Glipforg". On the hardware store sign, it's spelled "Glipfrog".
- Crazy creditsThere is an additional scene halfway through the end credits.
- Alternate versionsOn the UK DVD and Blu-ray release of the film, it cuts straight to the Ilion Animation Studios logo despite TriStar Pictures being mentioned in the opening and closing credits.

Featured review
First of all, let me say that I'm tired of dumb reviews saying "why do aliens speak English?" or "they fart and burp a lot". Disney's The Princess and the Frog's trailer has about 3 ass related jokes and one burp in less than 45 seconds. Toy Story's characters spoke English and understood humans and nobody wondered why. A house managed to be lifted by balloons in Up with no police radars detecting anything. So, this said: Let's sit down and enjoy a movie and stop looking for silly excuses to criticize it.
I watched Planet51 with my two nephews (8 and 10 years old) and they enjoyed it all the way. The quality is as good as Pixar's or Dreamworks and, yes, it's true the script is somewhat flat and very repetitive, but as the kids said to me "We didn't understand Wall-E's plot and didn't sympathize with any characters in Up, but Planet51 we did." It has some really funny characters (the white camera ala Wall-e and the alien pet), plus it's easy to understand, and despite the lack of chases or explossions it keeps its pace all the time and, as I said before, kids love the characters and understand -and enjoy- the plot.
As Groucho Marx once said: A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five!!!
