Plot Summary: A dog named Olive hears Santa say he'll need help from all of the reindeer on TV and thus goes on a quest to the North Pole. After, she's Olive, the Other Reindeer.

 

Visual Effects Note: Imagine all these animals animated like Paddington. That type of adorableness that still has a large range of emoting and with light anthropomorphism.

 

Plot: 

 

It’s Christmas Eve and Olive is going around doing last minute Christmas shopping in the village called Town. Town is in the holiday spirit, whether it’s Christmas, Hannukah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa; heck, there’s even a Turkey who is still celebrating Thanksgiving! (“The Days Still Remaining ‘Til Christmas")  Olive wants to make sure Tim, her owner, has the best present ever because Tim is her best friend.  She is confronted by Martini, who is a penguin who is clearly a con artist. However, Olive remarks that Tim loves fake watches, because she can chew them and nothing is broken! Olive buys one of the fake watches and returns home to start wrapping presents.

However, Tim isn’t happy, and Olive can’t figure out why. Tim says he’s tired of Olive not acting like a real dog and there isn’t gonna be a Christmas this year. Olive goes to her doghouse and talks to her pet flea, Fido. Olive laments that she just wants Tim to understand that being a dog seems boring to her, she’d rather have fun and feel like a person. Fido says that maybe she and Tim should split up, and Olive says she could never do that to him. Fido asks her if she wants to watch a Christmas special to cheer herself up and Olive agrees, turning on her TV. However, there’s a horrible sight! Santa Claus is on the news giving a press conference. He announces that Blitzen was injured earlier that day during a practice flight and won’t be able to fly that evening. He’ll have to make due with “all of the other reindeer.” The TV then goes back to its regularly scheduled Christmas programming but Fido spits out his popcorn. He says Santa just called for Olive! Olive doesn’t understand what he means but Fido repeats it back: Santa will have to make due with “Olive, the other reindeer.” Olive tells Fido he’s being dumb; she’s seen Rudolph and she knows he means all of the other reindeer. At this very moment, Tim knocks on the doghouse.

Olive, embarrassed, hides in the corner and tells Fido to act like they aren’t here. Fido naturally goes up to the door and lays an ear against it. Tim apologizes to Olive and asks her to come inside and they can celebrate Christmas together with his brother, who will be flying in later on his private helicopter. However, through comical complete misunderstanding, Fido tells Olive that Tim wants her to leave and never return, he’s gonna get himself another dog for Christmas. Tim says he’ll wait for Olive inside when she’s ready and done wrapping presents, but Olive, not hearing him, stares at the fake watch she bought and just sets on the ground, sad but determined. If Tim doesn’t want her as a dog, perhaps she’ll want her as a reindeer. She tells Fido to hold down the fort so it’s a surprise for Tim on TV and then runs out the door, calling back at Fido to finish wrapping her presents! Fido looks at all the presents and sighs. 

Naturally, Olive is gonna take the bus to get to the North Pole on time. On the way there though, she gets stopped by a happy Postman. Olive asks if he’s excited for Christmas, and he answers that, yes, of course, he is because there won’t be one. Olive wonders how someone could hate Christmas and the Postman explains it to her… in song! (“Christmas (Bah, Bug and Hum)”). The Postman cheers on the fact that by next year, people will have forgotten all about Christmas. Even with all of his planning of efficient mail routes, Christmas is always the worst time of year. Olive reassures him that won’t happen, since she’s gonna help Santa fly. After Olive leaves, he villainously monologues that Santa always put him on the Naughty list and as such, he’s gonna stop Olive from saving Christmas! 

Olive goes to the Mauvehound bus station to buy a ticket to Arctic Junction. However, on her way in, she runs into Martini who asks her how’s the fake watch working for her? Olive doesn’t really answer, feeling awkward, but thanks him anyway. Olive asks him what he’s doing at the bus station and Martini says he’s trying to see relatives in Arctic Junction, the town near the North Pole, but unfortunately, Olive is the only person who bought his fake watch. He has no money. Olive buys him a ticket out of pity but before they can leave the station, the deranged Postman shows up. He convinces the people at the station that Olive has committed mail fraud and does a citizen’s arrest on her (“The Fraudiest Dog Around”). When he is just about to leave the station with Olive, Maritni rolls several pens on the ground towards the Postman, who comedically slips on them, allowing Olive to escape. Martini and Olive board the bus despite the Postman and multiple security guards chasing after them.

At home, Tim is watching a Christmas special. He checks his watch and laments briefly that it’s a real watch. He’s always wanted a fake watch so that way Olive could chew it. He then realizes Olive has been wrapping presents for a bit too long. Conveniently, at this time, a special report comes on telling people to be on the look-out for a dog and a penguin who have committed mail fraud. Tim spits out his hot cocoa, recognizing Olive on the TV. He goes outside, and Fido barely has enough time to hide his present before he bursts in the doghouse, demanding Fido tells him where Olive is. Fido explains Olive’s plan to Tim and Tim gets worried. Olive in the North Pole? She’ll be freezing! And she doesn’t know how to fly! Fido says that if Tim just accepted Olive as who she was, maybe she wouldn’t have left. Tim senses the truth in his words, but, keeping the wincing inward, grabs Fido and says they need to go rescue Olive, but they’re going to need help first...

On the bus, there is a nice older British couple and then the driver, Richard Stans. The couple introduce themselves to Olive but she’s distracted by Martini who is talking to her about the art of the con. Completely missing their names, she apologizes to “Mr. and Mrs…” she notices their lab coats and safety goggles “Scientist.” They chortle loudly, remarking that Olive is adorable and they prefer the names Mr. and Mrs. Scientist to their real dreary ones. Olive asks them why they’re going to the North Pole and Mr. Scientist explains that he has a hypothesis that briefly on Christmas Eve, Santa’s magic helps reverse climate change just for a little bit. Mrs. Scientist also adds they’ve always wanted to spend Christmas at the North Pole. She asks Olive what brings her to the North Pole. She explains that she believes Santa has called for Olive, the Other Reindeer, and they stare at her blankly. Richard Stans speaks up and says it’s like when he was a kid and he did the Pledge of Allegiance. He believed it was about him - “and to the republic for Richard Stans.” Isn’t it all of the reindeer? Olive shows a bit of doubt but Martini defends her, asking Stans where’s his belief in Christmas magic? Stans smiles and wishes Olive good luck.

Back in Town, Tim and Fido knock on the door of the vet. Fido is petrified, saying he’s heard the Vet is a mass murderer of fleas. Tim tells him to knock it off; even if he doesn’t like Fido, he’s not gonna let anything happen to Olive’s pet without Olive here. Doctor Jillian Johnson answers the door and asks what’s going on. After all, it’s Christmas Eve and she knows Olive would’ve been excited for Christmas. Tim asks her if she’s watched the news and Jillian says she hasn’t. Fido blurts out that Olive is wanted for mail fraud! Jillian stares at Fido, confused. Tim explains also Olive has run to the North Pole, believing she’s secretly a reindeer! Jillian says there’s no time to lose, the frigid temperatures there could be deadly for Olive. Jillian doesn’t particularly know how to find Olive, but she does know a person. Fido asks how can they trust Jillian, and Jillian sings a song about how she loves animals and helping people, especially on Christmas (“Christmas Shouldn’t Be Alone”).

On the bus, Olive and Martini play Rock-Paper-Scissors to pass the time. Somehow, Martini wins every time. Olive suspects Martini is cheating somehow (possibly due to his much more dextrous flippers to Olive’s paws), but suddenly the Postman pulls up next to the bus in his mail truck, yelling to Richard Stans that he needs to make a citizen’s arrest for mail fraud. Richard can’t hear him as he has the bus window up, but Martini acts quick, making a paper airplane out of some stationary the Scientists have. He throws it at the Postman, who rolls down his window to try to be louder. However, he gets hit in the face with the paper airplane which makes him veer off the road. Olive thanks Martini as they pull into Arctic Junction. There’s an hour wait before Richard takes the bus to the next stop, so Martini says he’ll wait with Olive since his family will be waiting there. Olive, Richard, and Martini go and get some food and Olive asks Martini what his family is like. Martini sings about his family and how, in a tragic happenstance, he can’t remember if his family lives in Arctic Junction or Antarctic Junction (“Penguin Family Reunion”).

Back in Town, Tim and Fido sit awkwardly in an office with Jillian when suddenly, the Dog Catcher enters. Fido is immediately put on guard and Tim is concerned. He doesn’t want to scare Olive. The Dog Catcher assures Tim (while still talking in a clearly nefarious tone) that she is the dog catcher for the humane shelter. She likes catching dogs, not killing dogs. Tim is still highly suspicious but Jillian vouches for her. Tim asks her name and the Dog Catcher replies with first name Dog, last name Catcher. Catcher then asks Fido if he’s ever sucked Olive’s blood. Fido is highly offended but Catcher explains if she had a DNA sample of Olive, she could easily track the missing dog. Fido says he would never dream of leeching off his owner, and Tim gasps, remembering something. He pulls out of his pocket Olive’s leash! Catcher sniffs it and then sneezes, discovering a tiny bit of dog dander in it. Catcher sniffs the air and says that Olive is at Arctic Junction! Jillian says that she has to stay home in the rescue attempt for Olive since her grammy is coming for Christmas and her kids are meeting her for the first time. Tim thanks Jillian and then follows Catcher out, Fido sitting on his shoulder like a parrot. 

At their table, the waitress comes up and tells Olive she has commissioned by Santa to give her a flying test. With the approval of Martini, Olive follows the waitress out who suddenly throws her into the post truck! The waitress strips down as Olive covers her eyes in horror, not wanting to see a naked old woman. The waitress sneers and tells Olive to open her eyes which she does slowly, revealing it was the postman! The postman gets in the front of the car, and begins speeding down the road, laughing maniacally. He has Olive, the other reindeer, and now there is no hope of Christmas working. He wasn’t named most efficient mailer three years in a row for nothing! Olive searches the back of the truck for something, and she discovers a package addressed to her from Deus Ex Machina. She opens it and discovers a metal file that allows her to escape. She runs back to Arctic Junction but a bus goes right by her. She locks eyes with Mr. and Mrs. Scientist who scream in a dignified way for the bus to turn around and grab Olive. Richard frowns, staring into the rearview mirror. He wants to go back for Olive, but he tells Mr. and Mrs. Scientist it’s a deadly hazard for the bus to turn around in the snowy weather. Back on the side of the road, Olive stands there, saddened.

At Town International Airport, Fido makes his way through TSA, as an agent nicely scans him. The TSA Agent lets him through, remarking he’s never scanned a flea before! Catcher asks him what flights are available for the North Pole. The TSA agent stammers, realizing he messed up. He’s not supposed to scan them before they have bought their tickets. Tim assures the TSA agent they won’t tell his bosses and the TSA agent smiles at him, but has some bad news. He knows for a fact they don’t offer any flights to the North Pole this late. They have to leave the airspace clear for any test flights before Santa’s big night. Tim and Fido are dejected but Catcher asks if helicopters would be allowed to fly in. The TSA agent hesitates and says that Santa’s flight takes up airplane space, not helicopter space, and a helicopter would be allowed. Tim says they need to get home right now, remembering his brother! They drive home, while singing how they must save Olive (“The Best Dog Ever”).

Back at Arctic Junction, Olive walks in dejected. Martini tells her that he and Richard found the waitress’s clothes and a bunch of packing tape, so they know it was the Postman. Martini asks how Olive got away and Olive asks if he’s ever heard of Deus Ex Machina. Martini shrugs. Olive says she’s missed the bus and now has no idea how she’ll get to the North Pole. Martini tells her she can always go back home for Christmas at least. Olive looks at him starting to tear up, saying she thinks her owner is getting a new dog. Martini asks why he would want to do that, and Olive says that Tim wanted a dog who actually acted like a dog. Not like her. With Tim hating her, there’s no point to go back home. Martini looks around and says he doesn’t think his family is coming. He begins to sniffle and says if he doesn’t have a family, and Olive doesn’t have a family, perhaps they should be each other’s family. Olive smiles and thanks him. However, she’s not ready to give up on the North Pole yet. She looks back at the bus stop in ponderance whereas Martini looks around. He spots something and grabs Olive to point at it with mouth agape. It’s the Top of the World Bar, a seedy tavern for the North Pole’s biggest miscreants. Olive looks at him and shakes her head no.

Cut to them inside the bar. Someone catcalls Olive, and Olive glares at Martini. Martini gives an awkward smile and yells back you should never catcall a dog. They go up to the bar and sit down next to a reindeer and a very angry (Easter) bunny. The bar owner asks what’ll be and Olive asks for water. He gives some water on tap and introduces himself as Round John Virgin. He asks Olive what brings her to the North Pole and, with some kind urging from Martini, she explains that she’s Olive, the Other Reindeer and she’s gonna save Christmas. Everyone in the bar looks at her and laughs. The reindeer next to her introduces herself as Schnitzel, Blitzen’s flightless cousin. If she can’t fly, why would Olive be able to be? She then picks up Olive and begins throwing her around the bar, tossing her around with patrons. Schnitzel says she’s flying now! Martini tells her to stop and Schnitzel says that penguins are supposed to be flightless birds too. Schnitzel picks up Martini and throws him straight towards Olive. They collide and land to the ground in pain. Martini says that it was a bad idea to come here and they should just leave, but Olive is enraged. She stands on top of the bar counter and asks them all where their holiday spirit is, and how the only reason she wants to do this is to be loved and feel the love on Christmas (“What Christmas Means To Me (Theme from ‘Olive the Other Reindeer’)”). After this heartwrenching song, Olive and Martini start to leave ready to find their own way to the North Pole. Schnitzel and Round John Virgin stop them, having been moved by her song. All the patrons, led by Schnitzel, apologize for their cruelty… well, except for that bunny (“We’re Not So Bad”). Round John Virgin offers Olive and Martini a ride to the North Pole in his snowplow, which he has named the Polar Express. Martini gives him legal advice quietly, and Round John Virgin re-announces it as the Solar Express. Schnitzel asks Olive if she can come with them. After all, it’s Christmas and her cousin can’t take her yearly flight. Schnitzel knows she’ll be bummed, and hey, family makes Christmas better, right? Olive nods with a slight sadness, and, as the four of them take off in their snowplow says she misses her family too. 

Back at Tim’s house, Tim pulls into his driveway with Catcher and Fido. Catcher asks him why they came here and Tim explains his brother is a tech ceo who always flies his own private helicopter everywhere. Fido complains that it’s really a hazard on the environment, and Tim agrees. Catcher says that she doesn’t condone stealing but Tim says he hopes he doesn’t have to. However, at just that moment, a helicopter flies in with a giant bow on it. Tim’s older brother (henceforth referred to as TOB) waves from it as it lands and exits the helicopter, saying he was hoping his brother would be inside, so he could surprise him with the present. Tim looks at in awe but then says it’s really too much. Fido nudges him and tells him they need the helicopter, and Tim glares at Fido, saying he can’t accept such a big gift. TOB decides to tell Tim how much he loves him and the helicopter is the best present he could give (“Brothers For Life”). Tim decides to accept the gift and thanks his brother for the present. Fido, Catcher and Tim get on the helicopter and TOB says he’ll hold down the fort at home; he saw that Olive was wanted for mail fraud on the TV. Tim nods as Catcher flies the helicopter up in the air towards the North Pole.

At the North Pole, the head elf guards the place. Olive and Martini are dropped off front as Schnitzel and Round John Virgin look for parking. Olive runs up to the head elf and asks to see Santa because she’s Olive, the other reindeer. The head elf stares at her and says she needs to leave or else he’ll call security. Suddenly, behind her, she hears a couple of very British voices. She turns around and sees Mr. and Mrs. Scientist! Mrs. Scientist asks her if the head elf is giving her and Martini trouble and Martini grumbles that he was about try to sell a junk watch to the head elf. The head elf sneers that that wouldn’t have worked; he used to be on watch manufacturing before he was put as night watch. There’s a bit of hierarchy there, you see? Mr. Scientist explains to the head elf that he and his wife are friends with Martini and Olive, and remembering Olive’s wish from the bus, offers to make them both their plus ones with their science passes to the North Pole. The head elf grumbles again but says that’s okay, letting all four of them in, and calls Santa on a walkie to meet his science guests.

Santa meets with Olive, Martini and the Scientists. He dejectedly tells the Scientists that he doesn’t think his flight is going to happen. He’s gotten several letters from children saying they want Santa to go work in the postal service rather than deliver presents. Try delivering bills for once, they say. The Scientists look at Santa in aghast horror, but Martini asks if he could look at the letters. Martini nods, saying they look authentic, but Olive points they have no postmark, so they must be from the Postman. Santa slaps his head. Of course! The Postman loves the naughty list! He will get coal again this year. The Scientists asks if instead, Santa can give some clean energy this year. Perhaps something biodegradable? Santa thinks for a second, and says he could give out dish soap. However, there’s still the problem of Blitzen’s injury. Blitzen walks in with a cast, saying she’s too hurt to fly.

At this moment, Round John Virgin and Schnitzel walk in, saying it took them awhile to find parking. Schnitzel sees her cousin and gives her a huge hug. Santa says he wishes Schnitzel could fill in for her cousin, but Schnitzel recommends Olive. Santa looks confused, and Olive explains that she’s the other reindeer Santa was asking for. Santa begins to explain what he actually says but then looks into Olive’s eyes, seeing so much idealism and pure Christmas spirit that he simply smiles. He’d love to try Christmas with Olive on his flying roster.

Olive is sent to the other reindeer, who look at her with confusion. Comet, the leader, says he’s disgusted that she was invited to fly with them. Olive says she’ll prove him wrong, cheerfully. They get saddled up for takeoff as Santa announces Olive as his replacement reindeer, while also dispelling rumors of her accused mail fraud. However, at the same time, Martini is looking at the toybag, admiring the handiwork. Suddenly, he is grabbed by the Postman! The Postman throws him in the back of his truck, saying if he can’t have the flightless dog, perhaps he’ll take the flightless bird! He laughs maniacally as Martini yells for help. The Postman then switches the toy bag with his own bag of junkmail. Back with Santa, Schnitzel, Blitzen, Long John Virgin, and the Scientists (along with a general crowd of elves) crowd to watch take off. Olive takes a deep breath but then runs with the other reindeer. Although she drags down for a bit, she’s suddenly begins to fly!

However, they arrive at the first house and Santa suddenly notices… the bag has been switched! There are no toys in there, just junkmail. Olive says it must be the Postman, and remembers something: even though she is a reindeer, she is also a dog. She sniffs the mail and picks up the Postman’s stench. The sleigh takes off and catches up with the Postman who is quickly leaving the North Pole borders. Olive barks at the Postman which horrifies him, causing him to veer off the road, but he quickly recovers. He drives quickly ahead of the sleigh, and a chase ensues. Complicating matters is at the same time, a helicopter comes over the horizon. Santa is flying lower than he is supposed to though, and the helicopter is coming right towards them. Olive locks eyes with the passenger in the helicopter: Tim! And Fido is on his shoulder! The Postman takes Olive’s distraction and uses it to quickly drive ahead as the sleigh veers straight up to try to avoid the helicopter. However, it clips the propellers, causing the helicopter to head straight towards crashing. Catcher screams and says it’s time to abandon ship, but they don’t have parachutes. Fido says they need to take a leap of faith and Tim agrees, pushing Catcher off the helicopter, as they fall to their death…

Or they would, if it weren’t for the Solar Express suddenly pulling up, with the plow reaching high, high, high in the sky, allowing Tim, Fido and Catcher to only fall four feet before comfortably landing in the plow’s vertical holding. Tim asks who could’ve saved them, and the plow goes down quickly (but safely) to reveal the Scientists driving. Mr. Scientist says he quickly modified the snowplow to help with the helicopter crash, and Mrs. Scientist says they looked to be in a bit of a tiff. Tim asks their names, and Mr. Scientist explains his name is Deus Ex Machina, and Mrs. Scientist introduces herself as Denise.

Meanwhile, Olive and the sleigh has caught back up with the Postman. Olive leans into the front of the mail truck and quickly struggles with the Postman, trying to bite him. However, he’s too quick and pushes Olive out of the truck. However, the distraction allows Martini to look through the toybag and find a jack-in-the-box. He triggers it on the Postman which causes him to scream, hit a snowbank, and hit his head against his steering wheel. The airbag goes off but he’s unconscious. The sleigh lands and Santa grabs the toy bag and puts Martini in the sleigh. He asks Olive to hitch back up; they’re running late. Olive looks at the Postman, and says if they leave him there, he’ll get frostbite. Santa smiles and says she’s right.

Back at the North Pole, the Postman, wrapped in blankets, lays in front of a fire. Olive has reunited with Fido and Tim, who is overjoyed to see her. Olive asks Tim if he saw her flying, and Tim answers yes, he did. Tim tells her to thanks to the Ex Machinas, he and Fido are alive. Olive asks who the Ex Machinas are, and the Scientists say they introduced to themselves to her when they first met. Olive apologizes forgetting and thanks Mr. Ex Machina for the metal file he sent to her. He smiles and says you never know when you need a metal file. Catcher says her work here is done, but she would like to stay the night at the North Pole. Santa says he thinks they all will; there’s no way there’s any efficient route for them to save Christmas now. They all look dejected but Martini says loudly there’s no way Christmas could be cancelled now, not after everything. His loud voice wakes up the Postman, who looks at Olive and Santa with newfound respect. He cannot believe they saved his life. Olive explains that it really wouldn’t be Christmas if they left him there and Santa says forgiveness is a big part of what makes Christmas special. The Postman, embarrassed for how he has acted, asks if he can help. After all, he was named most efficient mailer three years in a row. Perhaps he could help Santa navigate. Olive looks at Santa with hope in her eyes. Santa smiles and says the Postman can be his copilot.

Take-off again. This time Olive watches Tim watch her with tears in his eyes. Fido remarks to him Olive’s become quite a reindeer and Tim says that no, she’s still his dog. Olive hears this and has tears of joy. Martini and the Postman ride in the cabinet, with Martini deciding to help throw the presents down to save time. A montage occurs with them delivering presents around the world (“Merry Christmas After All”). During this montage, the following moments happen: 

- In Japan, three people open a present of a giant robot as Santa leaves.
- In Egypt, two brothers glare at each other, until Santa leaves a present under the tree of a new staff.
- In Greece, a grown family reunites at home, staring off at the sea as Santa flies by.
- In Britain, a cop sleeps silently as the Postman leads in a zombie as a present, clearly grossed out by it.
- In South America, a man cradles his pregnant wife, as Martini leads in a Llama with a bow on it
- In Beverly Hills, Santa knocks on the door and gives four teens dish soap.
- In mid-America, a big brother runs down the stairs and opens a basketball present whereas the little brother opens a Karaoke machine.

The flight ends, but sadly there’s a fog. They can’t get back to the North Pole. However, Olive sniffs and smells Mrs. Claus’s cookies. She safely guides them back and Mrs. Claus gives everyone (Olive, Martini, Santa, the Postman, Catcher, Tim, Fido, Mr. and Mrs. Ex Machina, and all the reindeer) cookies. Santa removes the Postman from the Nuaghty list permanently and offers the Postman a year-round job at the North Pole, which he gladly accepts. Santa gives her fake antlers as a present, naming her an honorary reindeer! However, she looks at Tim and Fido, and asks if they can just go home. 

They’re home immediately, thanks to Santa giving Tim a replacement helicopter. As Fido and Tim go inside and Catcher leaves to go home to her family, Olive looks at Martini and asks what he will do. Martini, acting tough, says he’ll return to the streets and go back to selling fake watches to barely get by. Olive asks for him to stay. Martini chuckles at a dog telling him to stay, and Olive points out she is an honorary reindeer. Martini smiles and says he will.

It’s right before Christmas dinner at Tim’s house. Martini is pitching TOB a new business venture that both seem excited about while cooking the dinner for the family. Flea is enjoying his new chewtoy shaped like blood vessel, remarking it tastes authentic yet delightfully humane. Finally, Olive gives Tim his present. It’s hastily wrapped but when Tim opens it and sees the fake watch, he’s sincerely delighted. It’s just what he wanted, and he gives Olive her present. She opens it and it’s a collar. She gives an awkward smile but Tim tells her to read the inscription: “Olive: Reindeer, Dog, Doesn’t Matter to Me; All That Matters is Tim Loves She”. She hugs Tim, glad to be his dog. She and Tim begin to sing, and eventually TOB, Martini and Flea join, along with cutting back to the crew at the North Pole, along with Jillian, Catcher and Richard with their families (“The Days Still Remaining ‘Til Christmas” (reprise). At the very end of the song, it cuts back to Tim’s house, where Martini brings in the Christmas ham, and they all sit down to feast.

Plot Summary:

(The space creatures are created with makeup and animatronics and suitimation to save money!)


Set in the not-too-distant future, this film revolves around an ordinary human man, Guy (Kit Harington), being abducted by space aliens. As it turns out, these slimy ugly critters are part of the evil Gruumbiack Empire, and are looking to kill him and harvest his human DNA to make new bioweapons. Thankfully, in outer orbit, the evil alien ship is attacked by Lieutenant Lynx (Eka Darville), who literally looks like an anthropomorphic lynx and both pilots and commands a small fighter ship crewed by other space-animal-people including the lizard-lady Scaletta (Monica May), who is an excellent sniper, and the crow-man Kawwl (John Tui), a big brute and close-quarters combat specialist.

 

Long story short, Lieutenant Lynx actually ISN'T a lieutenant anymore - he was fired dishonorably after going against orders and attacking some Gruumbiack ships before the official start of the war. Now the politicians have caught up with him and actually declared war, but he's gone rogue as a sort of "freelance space hero." He likens himself to an Earth video game character Guy might know - but he doesn't mean Star Fox, he means the hero of Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy, which he picked up on his last visit to Earth in 1994 after being told it ran on Earth's most advanced technology, the Atari Jaguar.

Unfortunately, it looks like the distractingly-sexy space captain Commander Coyote (Andrew Gray) has betrayed the intergalactic government and is working with the Gruumbiack empire! So while Lieutenant Lynx tries to sabotage the enemy fleet, he's constantly foiled by the coyote-man, who, it turns out, is his ex-boyfriend. There's lots of space-dogfights, laser gun battles, and low-gravity karate kicking with stuff flying out of or being poked at the screen on a regular basis like in a 1980s 3D flick.

 

By the end it turns out that Commander Coyote is actually on an undercover mission of sabotage, and Lynx was threatening to ruin everything with his usual dumbass direct assault, so he had to keep up the part. Once able, they team back up and take out the Gruumbiack fleet together, finding themselves falling for one another all over again in the process. Unfortunately as they chart their course back home to try and get Lynx reinstated, they realize Guy is still with them. Oops.
