Critics' Reviews

Overflowing with imagination, “Boys Go to Jupiter” is an animated film about four lower-middle-class kids who suddenly find themselves interacting with adorably big-eyed, squeaky-voiced, gelatinous little creatures while still dealing with the tedious but necessary rituals of life. Written, directed, and produced by Julian Lander on a shoestring budget, it’s a candy-colored fantasy with musical interludes (the songs are all written by Glander, of course). The jumbled, faux-naive production design looks smooshed together from Playmobil and Fisher-Price playsets, Lego and Duplo blocks, elementary school art supplies, and childhood memories. But at the same time, somewhat incredibly, “Boys Go to Jupiter” is also a portrait of young people stuck on the lower levels of the US economy, looking for ladders that were removed long ago.
