About This Movie

That's a UFO! The Flying Saucer (1975) is a fascinating blend of animation and documentary that really captures the zeitgeist of the 70s UFO craze. The animation style, reminiscent of works from the Mazinger creators, makes for a unique visual experience that blends facts with speculative storytelling. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the overall vibe – a sort of casual exploration that feels like a conversation rather than a lecture. The themes of alien encounters and the juxtaposition of skepticism versus belief create a captivating atmosphere. Plus, the practical effects, while not cutting-edge by today's standards, have a certain charm that evokes the era's fascination with the unknown. Definitely a curious piece for collectors interested in UFO lore.

Considered a niche exploration of 70s UFO culture.Interesting for those studying animation's role in documentary.Features a distinct blend of fact and whimsy typical of the era.
