Consider how humour is used to contribute to the mood of the story and the reaction of the family to the extraterrestrial presence. Examine how the animator has given unity to the film by making transitions via geometrically similar objects: girl’s embroidery hoop, the teapot, the drum, and the flying saucer. How does the tone of the story remain credible even though the characters are incredulous to this odd occurrence?
