The Phantom Planet is a (1961) science fiction film.
The lead character, astronaut Frank Chapman, played by Dean Fredericks, while traveling though space encounters a race of tiny people on a distant planet. Due to the planet's unusual atmosphere, he is shrunk to six inches in size. Before he finds the remedy to this situation, he is lured by two beautiful women and decides to help the inhabitants of the planet battle an invading race of monsters known as the Solarites.
The movie was later featured in an episode of movie-mocking television series Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). Amongst other things, Mike and the 'bots ridiculed the silliness of the Solarites' appearance (repeatedly compared to that of dogs) and the titular Phantom Planet's resemblance to piece of fried chicken.
