SPACE BABY is a one of a kind film. Seemingly aimed at kids its full of adult notions about life and the universe. It is a one of a kind do it yourself fantasy with more eye candy than ten Hollywood films.
The plot has Sam, a young boy, getting the blueprints for The Holy Grail, a walkie talkie to the universe. Aided by an older ex-baseball player, a six year old girl and a bunch of lady bugs Sam works to save the universe.
Jam packed full of kitsch and whimsy this film is going to delight many. In its way, it a perfect kids film in that it looks like something a kid might make. The sweetness and saccharine nature of some of it will no doubt turn off neigh saying adults, I think many people, those young at heart, will warm to SPACE BABY’s considerable charms.
Is it perfect. No. It’s a little too sweet, and little too jammed with things and ideas- which while not really bad, does result in a kind of sensory overload.
Worth a look.
