Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} {{Needs Image}} '''''Aliens in the Attic''''' is a basic "kids save the planet from invasion" movie, released in 2009. The story follows the five Pearson children trying to stop four surprisingly outmatched aliens from taking over the planet. The mind control plugs that are to be the aliens' only weapons don't work on anyone under 18, so they have to defeat an alien invasion without involving their parents or the authorities. ~~----~~ ~~=== This movie exhibits the following tropes: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Adults Are Useless]]: [[Handwaved]] to an annoying extent. They don't even bother trying to get adult help. * [[Alien Invasion]] * [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The mind control plugs. Also, {{spoiler\|the molecular expander machine that the aliens came here to get}} * [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever]]: {{spoiler\|The alien's master plan is to dig up a device that makes them two stories tall.}} * [[Can't Get Away ~~With~~with Nuthin']]: Only applies to Tom, who gets in trouble for everything everyone else does. {{quote\| '''Mr. Pearson:''' (to the Sheriff) Look, the kids made a big mistake, and I assure you Tom will be punished.}} * [[Competence Zone]]: The alien [[Mind Control Device]] only works on adults (with an arbitrary cut-off apparently around 18), so it's not even worth telling them anything. * [[Defcon Five]]: Averted Line 32 ⟶ 33: {{reflist}} [[Category:Aliens in the Attic]] [[Category:Films of the 2000s]] [[Category:~~Aliens~~Western InAnimation ~~The~~of ~~Attic~~the 2000s]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Western Animation]]
