    Storyline

    Edit
    Life couldn't get much worse for News Producer Tim O'Hara. He humiliates the one he loves, Brace Channing and ends up getting fired by her father. Then, a Martian from Mars arrives in his home. The Martian adopts the name 'Uncle Martin' and becomes friends with Tim, whilst he fixes his ship. Unaware to Martin, Tim actually wants to reveal him to the world, but can he actually do that to his new friend and 'Uncle'? —FilmFanUK

      When Martin is drinking the liquid from the lava lamp, it is clear that he is actually pouring it over his shoulder and not in his mouth.
    • Quotes

      Uncle Martin: You Earthlings don't know how lucky you are. The only water we get on Mars has to be squeezed from rocks.

    Fun movie, with a great showing by Zoot Suit
    Leave it to Disney for great animation, so realistic it's hard to believe it's not real.

    This is a fun movie, with just a couple scenes I'd have rather not had young children seen.

    I never saw the original series, but this was enjoyable for my son and I.
