Nearly the entire cast of Aliens Ate My Homework returns, although William Shatner is replaced by fellow Star Trek alumnus George Takei. Takei says his trademark line, "Oh Myyy," during the movie's climax. Bruce Coville cameos as a neighbor of the Allbright's who witnesses the arrival of the Ferkel, alongside two other neighborhood children who are reading a copy of the original Aliens Stole My Body book.
Differences from the book
editUnlike its predecessor, which faithfully adapted the story of a single novel, the film combines various plot points of the third and fourth books of the Rod Allbright Alien Adventures—The Search for Snout, and the movie's namesake, Aliens Stole My Body—into a single story, while adding many original elements of its own.
