Yesterday was one of those days where you have a chance to ruminate on life's past events. Friends, family, forgotten WB miniseries, the usual. Invasion America, a 1998 animated sci-fi epic if there ever was one, popped into our heads yesterday and we have to share. It's set in the early '80s where a group of human-looking aliens from the planet Tyrus are trying to make contact with Earth. The ruler of Tyrus, the venerable Cale-Oosha, wants merely to initiate communication with our planet, but his brother, The Dragit, wants to invade.
An Israeli-Palestinian-type conflict between the two's camps erupts as a result and Cale-Oosha flees to Earth and goes into hiding. He marries an American woman and fathers a son. Fifteen years later, still on the run from Dragit, Cale-Oosha raeturns to Tyrus to gather what's left of his supporters. Meanwhile, Dragit has found Cale-Oosha's family, beginning an epic cat-and-mouse chase that sets the series in motion.
Sounds a bit dorky, doesn't it? Well, it is. But we're watching Invasion America anyway, because all sci-fi is a bit dorky when you break it down. If you're interested, here's the first segment of the first episode. The same user who posted this has posted several of the other episodes.
