Nothing else has ever looked or felt like director René Laloux 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 natives (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.

Anyone who likes adult animation. French. Very old, but fantastic quality.

I found in down the rabbit hole, liked what people said, never heard of it before, and super enjoyed it.

Super creative, fantastic.
