All of this is brilliant, but I particularly like the overweight alien -- we're used to seeing the emaciated, androgynous variety. And there's something whimsically grotesque about that animatronic Ronald McDonald; he looks like he was assembled under the tutelage of the Brothers Quay (with constructive feedback from Bill Griffith).

Man, to have actually been there . . .

There was a very chubby alien in the original version of Invaders From Mars. As children, my sister and I would laugh as "Pudgy" (as we called him) loped through the underground caves.
