Storyline
Lord
Yupa (voice by Patrick Stewart) sits astride a large, two-legged bird (like an
ostrich). Both the bird and Lord Yupa have futuristic gas masks in place. Lord
Yupa dresses in a long overcoat. A wide-brimmed hat droops around his head. He
leads another bird who serves as a pack mule. Lord Yupa travels to a village
that is covered in a type of cobweb, dismounts, takes his rifle from its case,
and forces one of the house doors open. Everything inside is covered in spider webs
and is completely desolate. Lord Yupa looks at the ground at the house entrance,
sees a small doll, and picks it up. The doll crumbles to pieces in his hand and
Lord Yupa says, “Yet another village—dead.” The camera flashes screens to
dragonfly-like creatures swarming the village. Lord Yupa steps outside, looks
at the sky, immediately mounts his bird, and flees.

Maybe. Creative, but difficult to follow during the first half of movie. The film has great voicing and animation. |
