Movie Info

The ChubbChubbs! is an Academy Award-winning short animated film that introduces the alien inhabitants of the Planet Glorf, including: Meeper, its earnest but oh-so-awkward hero; a singing Diva; the Zyzaks, 20 foot-tall red-eyed bullies; and the ChubbChubbs. In this debut short, Meeper valiantly tries to warn the patrons of the Ale-E-Inn, an intergalactic watering hole with its own constellation of stars, of impending danger, only to find himself face to face with the toughest creatures in the universe...

The film's lackluster story and older than dirt gags -- it makes The Flintstones look like Shakespeare! -- keep it from reaching the outer limits of enjoyment.

This is a cute CGI short, and it's easy to see why it beat out 'Mike's New Car' for the Oscar.

It?s a fun short animation but I'm surprised it won an Oscar and even more surprised no one was sued by George Lucas! The Chubbchubbs save Xmas is not as good but still fun.

The Chubbchubbs! is a nice animated short that won the Oscar in its category. There are a lot of references to science-fiction movies. Obvious references are Darth Vader, Yoda and Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars and we see E.T. in a bicycle. Harder to find but also there are references to Alien, The Day the Earth Stood
