Sinekatalog’s take
A tow truck befriends a small flying saucer, then rescues it from military capture with a little help. Quick, silly and gentle, it extends a familiar animated world into sci-fi territory. Fine for kids and fans of the wider franchise.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
