Fantastic Planet is one of my all time favorite movies and I think it ages dreadfully well.
Agreed. I did a rewatch before I posted it to the @13thFloor and I was amazed (hadn't seen it since I was a kid). Some of the most intriguing and beautiful surrealistic animation ever, and the story is remarkably good - generating a sort of slow clinical terror in the viewer that flows and builds beneath the bright alien landscapes.
The expressions of the humans really struck me as a kid, I could feel their terror (and anger) without really understanding the whole thing. Side-related but I've the 13thfloor tab opened for a few days and I haven't explored it yet. Guess I should do that now :)
Right on - we're always open to travelers of the Fantastic Planet, and any other extradimensional refugees ;)
Side note - our movie series is here under the #cinemainsomnia tag, if you're just looking for full length films.
Wonderful thank you!!
