Fantastic Planet - 1973

I saw this movie when it first came out. It was quite different and revolutionary in it's day.

Fantastic Planet is recognizable for its surrealpsychedelic imagery, created by French writer and artist Roland Topor, who was the production designer and co-writer of the film. The landscape and lifeforms of Ygam are extremely strange, as are various aspects of Draag society, such as their meditation (which allows them to commune psychically with each other and different species and can lead to transformations of their shape and color) and their technology (for example the various devices they use to slaughter Oms). The weird atmosphere of the film is enhanced by its soundtrack, composed by Alain Goraguer.
