In this Academy Award–nominated animated satire, Martian observers analyze life on Earth and reach a startling conclusion: automobiles appear to be the planet’s dominant species, while humans function merely as their parasites. Directed by Les Drew and Kaj Pindal, the film humorously critiques modern society’s dependence on the car.

Is there life on Earth? From a Martian perspective, their scientists discover that humans have four wheels, guzzle fuel and basically just party through life before undergoing the ultimate process of recycling/sex! This animation is great fun, as is the narrative - it pokes fun at the simplest of activities we do in our cars - petrol stations, traffic jams, car washes and it even attributes human traits to the humble traffic light! Accompanied by a swinging soundtrack, this is well worth a watch, as the Martians wonder what is the purpose of an "Earthling"!
