I love this movie so much

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Fantastic Planet is an animated science fiction not for casual audiences nor for anyone looking to kill some time. This is slow-paced and thought-provoking journey that'll genuinely change anyone who sees it. Despite what the trailer will divulge, this is a solid and cohesive narrative that never feels confusing. So long as the viewer is paying attention to what's going on, grasping the story should be fairly simple. Fantastic planet examines a fantastical story of humanoid beings sharing a planet with larger and far more intelligent large blue giants. The plot focuses on the human's uprising against the superior species and presents a fascinating construct between the two civilizations. Personally, it asked surface level questions like "Do small insects view us this way?" While bigger questions arise like "What kind of statement is this film attempting to make regarding racism, intolerance, and cohabitation with different species?"Although this is an animated classic from the 70s. Showing this to the kids probably isn't the best idea. Not only does it include disturbing imagery and sexuality, its themes and story is best suited for a mature audience ready for more of an animated experience. For any animation or science fiction buffs, this film is definitely one to check out. For the casual movie-goer, might want to skip this one save your head from more scratching than it would like.

A French-Czech Production. The Language Spoken is French with English Subtitles.Do Not let that Dissuade. This Wonderfully Imaginative Animated Movie from 1973 is a Visual Presentation (and what a WOW it is) First and Foremost and the Dialog is Minimal.It is done with Limited Animation. Think Terry Gilliam (Monty Python), Ralph Bakshi, South Park, etc.But "Limitation" does not come to Mind after Viewing this Surreal, Dali-Esque, "Twilight Zone" Vibed Trip to Another Planet-Dimension-Universe. It's as Out There as it gets.The Stunning, often Disturbing, Images Dominate the Simple Story and it keeps the Viewers Attention with a Mesmerizing Display of an Off-Kilter Reality that is Off Our Planet for sure, but keeps the Connection with its Humanoid Characters at the Center.But there is an Array of Absolutely Bizarre Creatures that come from the Realm of Nightmares that Invade the Proceedings with Regularity and are so Unique They Demand Attention and Fixate the Viewer with not only a Hallucinatory Appearance but Bizarre Behavior Beyond Belief.The Film Holds Up Completely in 2017 and Once Seen its Indelible Images Remain in the Brain and a Freeze Frame is Instantly Recognizable as Captured from this Stand Alone Movie.The Musical Score is Worth Mentioning because it Underscores with a Jazz-Rock-Electronic Mood that Meshes so Magnificently Massaging the Movie with Tones that at First Presents Itself and then Fades in the Background but is Forever Reaching on an almost Subconscious Level.

This animated, Sci-Fi, Fantasy tale from 1973 was, in my opinion, clearly "less-than-fantastic" on all counts. From its cut-out, paper-doll animation; to its ugly and nonsensical story of survival and revenge; to its "far-from-likable" characters - Fantastic Planet certainly could've been a helluva lot better than it inevitably was.Even though the decidedly diminutive humans (aka. Oms) were the ones being portrayed as the oppressed underdogs in the story, I, for one, found it pretty difficult to root for their victory when they stood their ground in an all-out revolt against the red-eyed, blue-skinned giants known as Draags.Yes. Fantastic Planet did, indeed, contain some very bizarre and trippy looking imagery at times, but, in the long run, this certainly wasn't near enough to save its story from deteriorating into a monotonous bore long before its 70-minute running time was up.Apparently this French production won itself a jury prize (whatever that was) at Cannes.Anyways - Even though I would honestly be quite reluctant to recommend Fantastic Planet to others, I would say that it was at least worth one viewing.

I originally watched this film because it was a strange looking animated film that attracted my attention in a weird sort of way. To my disappointment, I found this movie boring, dull, and uninteresting. The storyline was so slow and completely unengaging. It was a unique concept for a plot but was not executed well at all. The quality of the film was extremely poor, especially the terrible animation. If you liked The Beatles' Yellow Submarine, this is probably a film for you. The film was a waste of my time and was worthless as far as I am concerned. I am struggling to draw this out because it was not even worth the ten lines of text that is needed to post this review.
