Evening Entertainment - 1979 Canadian animated special "Intergalactic Thanksgiving, or Please Don't Eat the Planet" from the director of ROCK & RULE

Made by Nelvana productions and featuring the voices of Sid Caesar, Catherine O'Hara and Al Waxman, INTERGALACTIC THANKSGIVING presents a musical, cosmic retelling of the United States holiday, as a family of puritan farmers (they forbid singing for some reason) comes to a new planet only to discover that they're not the only ones there.  Their new home is ruled by a king determined to be the funniest creature in the land, and he's not happy that the rest of his kingdom finds the new country folk so amusing.  It's an odd special, and I'm a little unclear as to what lessons are supposed to be learned by this other than something vague and environmental, but it's certainly interesting.  Director Clive A. Smith later directed 1983's ROCK AND RULE.
