Clip description
A spaceship enters the Earth’s atmosphere and lands amongst a crowd of curious humans. Two aliens bounce out of their rocket-shaped craft. A journalist quickly pounces on the duo and asks: ‘why have you come down from outer space?’ to which they answer because of the ‘haunting Earth song … “I like Aeroplane Jelly“’.
On cue, the alien is offered a plate of jelly which he slurps up with enjoyment, concluding that it is ‘jelly good’. A brief shot of the ‘I like Aeroplane Jelly’ songbook concludes the advertisement.
Curator’s notes
The aliens are depicted as smiling, friendly, bouncing beings who speak English with a familiar accent. Although slightly futuristic (with heads shaped like radio antennas), they look very much like the animated humans. The animation is simple and unfolds against a mostly static, cut-out background of the crowd and surrounding buildings.
