Willy,10, is separated from his explorer parents after their space ship is wrecked in an asteroid field, and finds himself alone on a dusty planet with only an adorable robot for companionship in this delightful animated tale. The film (known as Terra Willy in its native France) follows Willy as he learns to adapt to his new surroundings and the planet's quirky (and occasionally dangerous) inhabitants. It's packed with neat little touches, from a space toothbrush that converts into a knife and a flamethrower to a cuddly orange alien that looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon. This junior space adventure with a truly charming lead character is really worth checking out. It's nicely drawn and has a wonderful story at its heart.
