(entertainment weekly)POD PEOPLE aka EXTRA TERRESTRIAL VISITORS-1983-Three egg poachers are looking for eggs. One of them finds some big eggs after what seems like a meteor crash. There's also a smarty pants little kid Tommy (Oscar Martin)) and a pompous singer (Ian Serra) who's taking his friends on vacation to a forest campout. They all encounter a strange rubbery alien that looks like Zippy the pinhead with an elephant trunk. It hatched from an egg Tommy found. Timmy names it Trumpy and they become friends. It makes things spin and walks on the ceiling.
This E.T. rip-off started out as a story about an evil alien but some genius decided to change that when Spielberg's movie became a hit. Director Juan Piquer Simon had made the gory PIECES (which Ian Serra was in) the year before and was unhappy with the results of this movie. He's not the only one.
Thanks for reading!
