Based on an original story by singer Silvia Roche (which was also the basis for the music album of the same name) the movie was a huge success in UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}} and UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, and was even dubbed in English too. The film got a sequel in 1987 called ''Katy, Kiki y Koko'' (''Katy Meets the Aliens'' or ''Katy and the Katerpillar Kids'' in English). In it, Katy now as an adult [[spoiler:butterfly]], lives in the same cherry tree she used to live with her children, Kiki and Koko, two young caterpillars who are as curious and adventurous as Katy herself used to. Katy loves her children, but has become a somewhat overprotective MamaBear, which sometimes annoys them. Meanwhile, a group of StarfishAliens from a lonely asteroid send one member of their species to Earth to capture creatures for food so they can devour them and regain their energy. Alien X as he is called, makes landfall in the forest where Katy and her friends live and it's up to the two young caterpillars to stop him.

* HumansAreCthulhu: There are shades of this in both films. Humans do not physically appear in the first movie, but their omnipresence is clearly felt and Katy and Gilberto are truly in awe when visiting a city, almost as if they were on an extraterrestrial planet. Most animals often react to them with respect and fear, and the horse who carries Katy and Gilberto on their way to the city says he willingly serves humans due to their power and the fact that they treat him remarkably well. Later on, Katy and Gilberto see a port where a crane carries product-filled boxes onto many ships and the City rat accompanying them says that, while humans may be so wise and powerful, they also engage in what he considers to be [[HumansAreBastards mindless, violent wars with their weapons]], which he chalks up to BlueAndOrangeMorality. In the end, humans appear to be mind-boggling, bizarre and strange entities for animals the same way [[EldritchAbomination any Lovecraftian deity]] would be to us. Humans physically show up for a while in ''Katy, Kiki y Koko'' albeit as [[MediumBlending live-action]] StockFootage, adding to their otherworldy feel.
