- Overview
When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under the watchful eye of a critical instructor. But abducting humans requires precision and a gentle touch, and within a few missteps it's painfully clear why more humans don't go missing every year.

Faced with a vast array of knobs and faders, it falls to the apprentice alien to try and remove the human from his bed, and tractor beam him through the window of his home so they can experiment on him as he sleeps - before returning him safely. Under the supervision of his elderly and rather unhelpful pal, he makes quite a hash of this process and it looks like he has little chance of succeeding and thereby passing the test... It's quite entertaining this - like a game of Tetris only without you having the wherewithal to ever get the squares to align. You can't help but feel for the youngster - and for the human who manages to remain asleep despite being tossed and bounced all around his house! It's a simple animation with quite a jaunty score and I quite enjoyed it. We all had to learn sometime!
