When an overconfident teen alien gets behind the controls of a spaceship, he must attempt to abduct a slumbering farmer under a critical instructor's watchful eye. 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. (HBO Europe)

Another pretty original idea. Basically, it's a story about how aliens get their driver's license for abducting people. Well-written characters, although quite simple, a great concept executed in animation that any studio would be proud of. Even though you can probably guess the punchline, it's still entertaining because this is just another short film made with love. And, of course, made with a proper package approach as well.

Excellent opening music and a nice idea about an alien taking an abduction test under a strict mentor. Like driving school for aliens, very good. 8/10.

Another great Pixar short, this time unraveling the mystery of alien abductions. Amazing animation, great jokes and heroes who are nice to look at. (mainly the jelly-like examiner was excellent). Five out of five.

One of the best Pixar shorts - I liked it back when I saw it before Ratatouille. My driving test was very “easy”, because this one ... interesting indeed.
