In keeping with the recent interest in old school animated science fiction, I decided to watch "Gandahar" or better known in the U.S. as "Light Years". It is made by the same folks who created "The Fantastic Planet" but in the 1980s opposed to the 1970s. It very similar to that film in the sense that it is based off a foreign science fiction novel, it has the same kind of animation, and the same type of drug induced story line that can be used as a parallel to our world. It isn't quite as well known as "The Fantastic Planet" and probably for good reason. Besides the animation being a little more up with the times, it just isn't as good overall. It is still a quality animated film, and I'd rather watch this than any children's film. The creatures are something completely unique even to this day. I think to truly appreciate this film you must be a sci-fi nerd, or maybe you just really enjoy animated boobs. Either way check out this original piece of film.
