If I did drugs, I'd watch this movie all day, every day. "The Fantastic Planet" is an animated science fiction film from France in the 1970s. I remember watching this as a child, but there is no way you can understand the strangeness of this movie until you are an adult. "La Planete Sauvage" takes place on a faraway planet where giant alien creatures have small humanoid type creatures as slaves. One pet humanoid creature escapes and makes his way into the wilderness with other rebel "Oms". These "Oms" must gain knowledge and learn to fight for their freedom. I say this often on Death of the B-Movie, but they don't make them like this anymore. I was surprised to see that this was being remade, but it will undoubtably be nothing like the animation and story telling style of this psychedelic foreign animated film. The animation sucks compared to today's standards, but there is something special and unique about the way it is done. The animation is even more special in this day and age where computers rule everything. This is very dark for an animated film and may not be for scared little babies. I recommend this hard to find gem to almost anyone though, check it out.
