Fantastic Planet (1973) – René Laloux

Fantastic Planet is the English title of La Planète sauvage (literally “The Savage Planet”), an animated 1973 science fiction film directed by René Laloux. Based on a novel, Oms en Série, by the French writer Stefan Wul, the film was an international production between France and Czechoslovakia and was distributed in the United States by Roger Corman. The film is chiefly noted for its surreal imagery, the work of French writer and artist Roland Topor. Alain Goraguer provides a fitting early electronic soundtrack.
