Plot

[edit]

After leaving his 5-years old daughter Josie, astronaut of the USA goverment Earl Jensen is stranded in space intentionally by the head of the Department of Space. Years later, he returns to Earth. To gain the people's trust, he tells the story of the time he has spent on a planet inhabited by humanoid aliens with animal body parts. Jensen later tells he has a interest in crossbreeding the aliens to create an army of mutants, in order to exact his revenge on the Department of Space head.

Production

[edit]

The film was fully made at Plympton´s studio in New York City Plymptoons and is a spoof of B monster movies, featuring Plympton's own distinctive animation style consisting in hand-drawn animation made using colored pencils with backgrounds painted in brushes and gratuitous sex and violence.
