Theysit in Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Forbidden Planet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Secret of the Third Planet is
Observant explorers of the 22nd century set off collecting cosmic fauna for Moscow Zoo, unaware their cargo of a chatty bird carries the key to a shadowy plot. Along the way they dodge a villain aiming to silence the legendary Two Captains but can’t outrun a squawking sidekick who knows too much. A feathered MacGuffin saves the day, though the story’s niche ambitions never quite fill the big screen.
