Planet 51 was a cartoon movie that had just recently came out on video. The movie was about an alien planet that had been recently intercepted with a human being in his space craft. The human was coming from earth to explore space and landed on the aliens planet. Little did he know, the planet already had a life form on it. As the astronaut steps off his space module, he walks about ten feet, plants a U.S. flag, and then looks up to find a whole alien race just living their every day lives in their 50's style neighborhood. The human astronaut freaks out, and starts running and hiding for cover. The whole movie is based on this one alien boy who is determined to help this human back to his ship which the alien government had abducted. The movie relates a lot to kids in that, it teaches them not to judge a book by its cover, and that someone shouldn't judge someone else on their looks. My favorite part of the movie was when the alien boy finally got the alien girl that he has been dreaming of for so long. The whole movie you see this young alien boy, heart throbbing over this one alien girl...It was great to see him finally succeed in getting what he always wanted, her love.
The movie also had extremely well played characters as the voices such as... Jessica Biel, John Cleese, Gary Oldman, Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), Justin Long, Sean William Scott and many more!
I am personally not a cartoon lover, but this movie, "Planet 51", really hit it home for me. I connected with it, and couldn't stop watching it. I would see this movie a million times over, back to back... That's how much I enjoyed it.

As unfortunate as the lack of significant revenue, I found this movie to be quite interesting and the reasons for its flop to be unjustified.
