Notable elements

The documentary is notable for its combination of a whimsical use of metaphors with scientific rigor, and incorporates animation, micro-cinematography, and scenes from old Hollywood films and stock footage, including Busby Berkeley-choreographed dance routines. The opening scene features the trailer from the 1950s science fiction film It Came From Outer Space.
