Strange Invaders

Cordell Barker, 2001, 8 min 27 s

Cordell Barker strikes again with this hilarious animated short about a new addition to the family. Roger and Doris enjoy a quiet, comfortable life until they are awakened one night by the arrival of a visitor. It's a child - the answer to their dreams. What they first believe to be a gift from heaven takes over their household and wreaks havoc on everything in sight. A must-see film for parents of young children and a cautionary tale for those planning a family. Part science-fiction, part autobiography, Strange Invaders is another irrepressible comedy from the director of the much-loved classic The Cat Came Back.
