Editorial Review:
Rene Laloux's mesmerizing sci-fi classic based on the book Om en Serie by Stefan Wul is a landmark of European animation. La Planete Sauvage tells the tale of a race of humanoid creatures called Oms fighting for their freedom from the giant blue-skinned Traags who keep them as pets. A group of rebel Oms travel to a strange planet where they try to uncover the secret of the Traags' existence. The film which won the Grand Prix Award at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival prefigures much of the work of Hayao Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke Spirited Away) with its palpable political and social concerns cultivated imagination and memorable animation techniques. "Laloux's film is a provocative foray into the psychology of state-sponsored terror...it is difficult to watch any scene without being aware of its symbolic and metaphorical potential" (Senses of Cinema). In French with English subtitles.System Requirements:Running Time: 72 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ANIME UPC: 736899110925 Manufacturer No: DV94805

Rating:  - rare find indeed!
I was challenged by my 28 year old son to find this. He saw it as a child. Amazon!
Rating:  - DVD Incompatibility
DVD did not work at all except for the title preview. Why should anyone continue to sell this particular disc knowing it's incompatibilities?
Rating: - Still looks great!
I was surprised and happy! to see this has been made available to purchase as a DVD. I saw this when it was originally playing in theaters and I never forgot it. And I'm happy to report it still looks great. In fact, everything about this movie has stood the test of time. And that Includes the Floyd-ish soundtrack, which I purchased here as well.
I watched this with my 10 year old, she dug it too ; - ).
Rating: - Buyer Beware!
Like some of the others here, I ordered this classic with great anticipation. I remembered it from years ago. Truly an artistic masterpiece. However, when I received the DVD it would not play in any of my three DVD players. You can read the other reviews, but beware, it most likely will NOT play in your player! Don't waste your money!
Rating: - I WAS RIPPED OFF BY AMAZON !
I remembered this movie from the 70's and was very excited to see Fantastic Planet. It was beautifully animated and a compelling, thought provoking story. My first copy didn't play (I played it after the 30 day warrenty period), so I ordered another one. That wouldn't play either. I sent both of them back immediatly and have not gotten any of my money back. I have bought a large amount of used items from Amazon with pretty good luck. Buying from their inventory was a mistake..........
