Fantastic Planet (Remastered)
This futuristic story takes place on a faraway planet where blue giants rule, and oppressed humanoids rebel against the machine-like leaders. Will they find a way to coexist? Or will they destroy each other?

Surreal and wonderful in a way not often seen from Europe.

an utterly unique film
September 09, 2008
The film has a flat quality that cannot entirely be overcome by the sensational animation and the obvious good intentions of its creators.

Grotesque yet graceful, it's a hallucinatory vision quite unlike everything you've ever seen.

For original, thoughtful, often strong (but tasteful) animation, I recommend Fantastic Planet for family viewing.

A patchwork of cutouts from Soviet tech and science magazines pinned into druggy tableaux, with a genuine sense of placid terror to give teeth to its planar allegories

There is a strange, dreamlike placidity that hangs - like a silent, terrifying fog - over René Laloux's 1973 animated sci-fi classic.
January 09, 2009
Thirty-five years later, Rene Laloux's surreal animated film remains a singular psychedelic experience.
January 01, 2000
It's not every fancifully encoded cautionary tale that can survive the demise of its historical villains, and it's not every stoner midnight movie that can stand a second viewing in the sober light of day.
September 09, 2008
The film's images are phantasmagorical.
January 02, 2011
A jarring examination of racism and intolerance.
January 26, 2006
Roland Topor's graphics create a world reminiscent of two of the greatest artists of the fantastic, Bosch and Odilon Redon.
