Alien Abduction Time!

I already know. This is already my second (!) post that involves Pixar movies. (The first explained how Roland Weary was similar to Sid from Toy Story.) I am aware of this fact, and I do not care. Pixar is amazingly animated and I think it's really funny. The video I linked to is a short Pixar film titled Lifted that was featured before (I believe) Pixar's Wall-E, but maybe it was before Ratatouille. I can't remember, but it doesn't matter. The video is about an alien abduction, and when I read page 76 of Slaughterhouse-Five, this is seriously the first thing I thought of. Although I don't think the original video included that soundtrack (I don't think Pixar wanted their videos to be easily available on YouTube or something, so someone must have had to edit it due to copyright limitations), the video still has the same meaning. I think it's quite hilarious personally, but maybe other people think otherwise.
Anyways, as I mentioned earlier, I thought of this video when I read page 76. Specifically, when I read the quote, "Billy's will was paralyzed by a zap gun aimed at him from one of the portholes. It became imperative that he take hold of the bottom rung of the sinuous ladder, which he did. The rung was electrified, so that Billy's hands locked onto it hard. He was hauled into the airlock, and machinery closed the bottom door," I immediately thought of this video.
Okay, so maybe the video doesn't exactly match up with the passage. However, I still thought of this video because each describes exactly what I picture when I think of an alien abduction. Both involve a human entirely against his will being lifted into a porthole of a spaceship through some sort of glowing light or "zap gun". Somehow, both Vonnegut and Pixar know exactly what I picture in terms of an alien abduction. Perhaps Pixar was attempting to make the two aliens in Lifted resemble Tralfamadorians. After all, both are green! I doubt this is the case, but I still find it interesting.
I think the main purpose of Vonnegut's quote from page 76 is to evoke an image of an alien abduction where Billy's brain is no longer able to function, and he is thrust onto the spaceship without a choice. I also think that Billy's abduction may come into play later in the novel. Perhaps this brain take-over by the Tralfamadorians will explain why Billy's mind travels throughout time. Then again, perhaps not. (After proof-reading this, I guess I really like saying the word perhaps, and I really love Pixar movies.)
