about aliens and how they exist. Meanwhile, a swarm of UFOs invade the
fictional British city of Toronto and it is up to Buck Douglas to save the day.
== References to Popular Culture ==
There are many references to the popular Japanese anime
Doraemon in this film. In one famous scene, Buck Douglas puts a Doraemon VHS
on his TV and watches it (although, you can only see the FBI warning, the
Emotion logo, a fragment of the Japanese teaser trailer for Pokemon: The First
Movie, and some clips of the anime). Then, Buck Douglas wonders what it’ll be
like if he was on TV. He also owns a cuckoo clock, and what comes out of it is a toy model of Gian choking and bonking a crying and begging Nobita. Buck Douglas also owns a magic 8 ball, with the face of Doraemon.
