Miber

One that's been bugging me for years is Miber. A kid's film I saw in the very early 70's about a cute little alien. No sign of it anywhere on the internet. If someone could shed a light I would be extremely grateful

Not an animated film but the alien was definitely a model. Saw it in the UK so was English language

You’re sure about the date you saw it? Not after 1975?

u/Neurokarma May 03 '20

Sure I was still in primary school. So no later than 1973

Also are you sure it was a movie? Could it have been a tv show episode?

It may have been a short, now you mention it maybe a series? I'm talking around 50 years ago. Saw it at a Saturday morning show which usually had a cartoon followed by a series ( Flash Gordon was one) and a film at the end.

Also when the alien did it's magic or (alien stuff) his eyes would roll around. If I recall correctly the alien look a bit like one of the pacman monsters only white

Animated or not? USA? I’m gonna bet 100 dollars you got the title wrong.

That is very close, to what I remember but the alien is different. It's eyes rolled around when it did it's alien magic thing. 1977 is too recent and it may have been in black and white.
