THE HUMAN PETS is the second in the six-film JOSH KIRBY series, following on directly from series debut PLANET OF THE DINO-KNIGHTS. That story ended on a cliffhanger of sorts, and this one carries straight on. It begins back in the medieval world and has a cool battle between cheesily-animated dinosaurs which is worth a watch alone for any B-movie lovers among us. There's a rescue attempt copied from ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES and lots of low-rent hijinks and overacting.
Around the halfway mark, the writer gets bored of this scenario and, perhaps sensing his target audience's brief attention spans, shifts the action to an alien world where a giant and extremely creepy-looking baby wreaks havoc with our miniature-sized heroes. Yep, it's another LAND OF THE GIANTS-type adventure, fairly amusing and funny in places, and completely cheesy, of course.
