For all of the critics who rated the film less than 5 stars, well... It is a campy example of 50's B movie making. It isn't supposed to be anything more than that! To its credit, the film has some atmospheric moments. The sets are pretty good and the acting is better than bad. Mona (Allison Hayes) steals the show with her good looks and crazy persona. There are not a lot of production flubs given the low budget. This film compares favorably with other B efforts of the 50's. Check out Allison in the 50 foot woman flick. This was her most famous science fiction role. My advice: watch 'Zombies' it and enjoy it for what it is...!
MMP is a clever and entertaining movie featuring stop-action puppet characters. It is humorous, maybe a little lightweight on the plot, and it is fun to hear the voices of Karloff, Diller, etc. attached to their characters. Older children would enjoy it and adults will find some of the inside jokes and references to 1960's American culture to be insightful and funny. Worth seeing once for it's quality animation and silliness.
