Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Strange Invaders is a 2001 animated short film (8 minutes) by Cordell Barker. It was produced by the National Film Board of Canada.Roger and Doris are a married couple. They are childless and they wish for a baby. One night they wish on a shooting star—and that shooting star turns out to be a toddler, a human-seeming toddler who flies through the depths of space and right into their living room.Roger and Doris are initially delighted. However, the child slowly starts acting weirder and weirder. It eats dog food from the dog bowl, and fish from the fish tank. It eats dinner plates. It begins to destroy the house, occasionally setting fires, drilling holes in the ceiling, generally wrecking things. And most disturbingly, it builds a communication device, pointed to space...The NFB has it up on their Youtube channel. See it here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })No connection to feature film Strange Invaders.

comment
Affectionate Nickname: Roger occasionally refers to Doris as "Wiggles", and Doris refers to Roger on two separate occasions as "Lumpy" and "Peanut", the latter of which the child adopts as part of its One-Word Vocabulary.

Evil-Detecting Dog: The dog never trusts the child, barking at it, opening the door and gesturing outside when Roger and Doris wonder what to do with it.
