Fantastic Planet

1973 · 72 min

A hypnotic, unsettling trip through alien landscapes that feels like a dream you can't quite shake.

Directed by
René Laloux
Genres
Animation, Science fiction
Tagline
A sublime trip to a fine new world!
Overview
On the planet Ygam, the Draags, extremely technologically and spiritually advanced blue humanoids, consider the tiny Oms, human beings descendants of Terra's inhabitants, as ignorant animals. Those who live in slavery are treated as simple pets and used to entertain Draag children; those who live hidden in the hostile wilderness of the planet are periodically hunted and ruthlessly slaughtered as if they were vermin.
How it feels
Eerie, dark, absurd and satirical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About
Power, survival, isolation, freedom
Content
Strong violence. Mild gore and sexual content. No swearing.
