A decent enough, though slightly obvious, animation about aliens from the planet Zog who have their heads and their genitals in the opposite places to us humans. They arrive on earth, cut off their genitals (which look like heads), put them on their heads (which look like genitals), and blend in with the rest of the population. By a stroke of coincidence, the only human who ever sees them take off their heads to reveal their true selves is a redneck called Dwight Yokum, who takes it upon himself to save the world from these creatures.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that it's all a metaphor for racism and other prejudices, particularly with the fact that - despite all the talk of doom and the downfall of the human race at the hands of the Zogs - the aliens don't actually do anything wrong. They just live peacefully with the rest of earth and it's actually very difficult to tell the difference most of the time (so much so that Dwight accidentally marries a Zog). And the message is topped off by the 'surprise' ending. It's certainly not very subtle at getting its point across.
But the animation is quite interesting - lots of scratchy black and dark colours - and the slightly amateur look can easily be forgiven as the film probably only cost a miniscule amount of money to produce. At the end, the human rocketship that had been sent to invade the Zogs finally arrives at its destination. I don't know if this means there's a third part,but if there is I wouldn't mind seeing it.
