Purple People Eater - Der kleine lila Menschenfresser (1988)
Obwohl er sich längst auf öde Zeiten eingestellt hat, stehen dem 12jährigen Billy in den Sommerferien die turbulentesten Wochen seines Lebens bevor. Der Grund heißt Purple. Purple saust eines Abends in einem purpurnen Lichtwirbel auf die Erde und landet direkt in Billy's Garten. Mit seinem violetten Fell, einem Auge mitten auf der Stirn und dem Horn auf dem Kopf, aus dem er heiße Musik ertönen läßt, sieht Purple zwar etwas seltsam aus, ist aber unverkennbar ein liebenswertes Kerlchen. Zur Morgenwäsche schlüpft Purple in die Waschmaschine und singt anschließend aus vollem Hals den Purple People-Eater-Song. Billy und der Außerirdische freunden sich schnell an - und lassen keine Gelegenheit aus, die Stadt gehörig auf den Kopf zu stellen...
