Ideal for the whole family, this delightful 2008 Hungarian animated feature uses sounds and universal gestures, rather than dialogue, to communicate its characters’ thoughts and ideas.

The film centers on Egon, a would-be scientist and explorer and his cat Dönci, who are the sole inhabitants of a distant planet. When an unidentified flying object with a message from Earth crashes into their planet, Egon wants to make contact with the strange blue planet. So he starts building a spaceship for intergalactic exploration, though continually thwarted by the inquisitive Dönci. Eventually, the duo reaches Earth where they get a lesson in life.

Presented as part of the Three Rivers Film Festival. For tickets, call ProArts Tickets at (412) 394-3353.
