      • One of the aliens has a Princess Leia "cinnamon buns" hairdo.
      • An alien from Alien (1979) is drinking at the bar.
      • Darth Vader is arm-wrestling Yoda.
      • The two dancing robots are Robbie from Forbidden Planet (1956) and the Robot from Lost in Space (1965).

    • Goofs
      After Meeper gets thrown out of the inn for the second time, we can hear a distinctive sound of the door being locked. However, a minute later, when Meeper gets inside again through the roof, a messenger comes in opening the door from the outside without any problems.

    Great film!
    I thought that the plot of this film was great. The story of a clumsy janitor who had a dream of singing on stage was entertaining to me. I thought that this film had a lot of great humor including when the janitor would fall onto the leader singer. It was interesting how the director's were able to fool the view by making the Chubbchubbs look cute, instead of the being the tough monsters carrying weapons. The animation was excellent and left me wanting to watch this as a feature length film. I especially liked the Star Wars references because I am a big fan of the series. Overall, I think that this was a great film and I give it a 10 out of 10.
