Quite an entertaining cartoon and a very funny deconstruction of the martian invasion films of the 1950s. Was that Paul Frees doing the narration?

Thanks very much for posting it. Never seen it before and it was a real treat.:-)

@RavenHouseMystery You're welcome! It's always been one of my favorites. I first saw it in a slightly-edited version as part of the screening at the Sci-fi Dine-in Restaurant in WDW. You can get it on DVD as part of the Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland set.

And yes, that is Mr. Frees! That man's voice is unmistakable, isn't it?

Those Aliens could have auditioned for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Anyways, it was cool! I'm favoriting this. :D

@TheHauntedDriveIn It most definitely is. Very appropiate for this cartoon too, since he did some great narration during the original "War Of The Worlds" film.
