* ValuesDissonance: Sorta subverted, since, despite the film was created and produced in Spain, the scriptwriter was [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Joe Stillman]], who is American. It's possible that Stillman decided to write the script based on how Americans perceive animation, rather than aiming at how Spaniards did at the time -- while the AnimationAgeGhetto had long since fallen in America and elsewhere, Spain was among the last holdouts for such attitudes towards animation.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: They could have done so much more with the HumansThroughAlienEyes concept, thrown in some weird alien biology, a few alien customs, and it wouldn't spoil the 1950s gags excessively, but the alien world is almost identical to Earth, making the "alien invasion role-swap" premise little more than a matter of swapped aesthetics.

* PropagandaPiece: Humanity is portrayed as a monstrous group of aliens who want to enslave everything else. It's used as a scare tactic to the public much the same as actual sci-fi movies did back in the 1950s. Special mention that the scare tactics were being used before anyone even knew that life existed beyond their world.
