Original title above arrow_up

Directed by: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman
Production companies: Fox Animation Studios, 20th Century Fox Animation, David Kirschner Productions

Plot

Set in the year 3028, TITAN, A.E. revolves around Cale, a young boy who is separated from his father, while the Drej (blue aliens who wear death-like hoods) attack Earth. After Earth is destroyed, those humans who escape (including Cale) are reduced to a small number of refugees and are now counted among the lowest forms of species. The film then flash-forwards 15 years, when Cale is working as a mechanic on a “third rate asteroid." “He’s really at the bottom rung of the whole social ladder at this point,” notes Bluth of the character. “There are only about another five humans on the same planet with him, the rest are aliens. So, he’s been picked on his whole life and he’s got a chip on his shoulder." Joe Korso, Captain of the ship, the Valkyrie, discovers Cale. He was a friend of Cale’s father and informs the young man that a ring he wears contains a map to the spaceship, the Titan. Created by Calc’s father, the ship, which was jettisoned before the destruction of Earth, has the capacity to create a new Earth.

The Drej discover that this map exists and, in an attempt to prevent the human race from re-populating, try to kill Cale. The young, reluctant hero is then forced to escape with Korso, who then go on a search to find the Titan before the Drej.

LEGO Digital Designer

Digital Designer uses an approach similar to computer-aided design (CAD) programs, meaning you can build whatever you can imagine, right on your computer. For big kids out there, this program is basically a digital version of the famous LEGO box of bricks and pieces.

Laurel and Hardy

Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy team during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to "talkies". From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully. Their signature theme song, known as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos" (by Hollywood composer T. Marvin Hatley) was heard over their films' opening credits, and became as emblematic of them as their bowler hats.
