Unidentified Flying Oddball [HD]

A Spaceman in King Arthur's Court
STORY: Unidentified Flying Oddball is short for U.F.O. of course. This live action film from the Walt Disney studio is the story of Tom Trimble the NASA astronaut (Dennis Dugan) and his robot Hermes. They have a newly designed faster than the speed of light spaceship called the "Stardust", that is hit by a lightening bolt in and knocks Tom back in time to the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Thinking he has traveled to another world, Tom leaves the craft in his spacesuit. Seeing him in this spacesuit the citizens think he is a monster or dragon and attack him, sending him to prison. After being imprisoned, Tom learns of a threat against the king from the nefarious Sir Mordred (Jim Dale) who wants to take the King's throne at Camelot for himself. Merlin (Ron Moody) is aiding Mordred in the scheme and is envious of Tom's modern scientific talents, since his own power is based on illusion. After Tom is released he begins to use technology to improve the kingdom,...

Very cute Disney classic
I wasn't sure what to think at first, being I recalled only fragments of this film during its original box office release. So, I felt compelled to rewatch it. So glad i did. What a cute film about a 20th century NASA astronaut Tom Trimble(Dugan) who ends up in Camelot during King Arthur's Court. Maiden Alisandre (White) mistakes him for a "monster" after his 'crash landing', but impetiously yet kindly escorts him back to Arthur's kingdom, her home, to speak with the magistrates about getting him returned back home. However, head knight Sir Nordred (Jim Dale) sees him as a threat, in his spacesuit, and desires to oust Trimble from the kingdom once and for all. What follows is a cornucopia slapstick like mayhem. And Alisandre is duped, or convinced that her imprisoned father was turned into a goose which she carries around with her.

While at times the scripting appears a tad flightly, most of the acting and direction are decently executed. Kudos to Jim Dale for a very fine...

Whoa. This is Terrible.
As my husband so eloquently said, "This movie has no point. You would be better off prying your eyeball out with a spoon."

I'm going to add that the plot is...nonexistent. Just no.
