Movie Info:

Nothing else has ever looked or felt like director Rene Laloux's animated marvel "Fantastic Planet", a politically minded and visually inventive work of science fiction.  The film is set on a distant planet called Ygam, where enslaved humans (Oms) are the playthings of giant blue native inhabitants (Draags).  After Terr, kept as a pet since infancy, escapes from his gigantic child captor, he is swept up by a band of radical fellow Oms who are resisting the Draags' oppression and violence.  With its' eerie, cooly surreal cutout animation by Roland Topor; brilliant psychedelic jazz score by Alain Goraguer; and wondrous creatures and landscapes, this Cannes-awarded 1973 counterculture classic is a perennially compelling statement against  conformity and violence.  Criterion Collection
