« on: January 24, 2012, 06:30:56 AM »
Just found this old sci-fi cartoon on youtube and want to share it with you. I know thats is now wargaming post. but I dont know where to post it to share it.
...............
Adapted from Stefan Wuls novel(La Planete Sauvage), this psychedelic sci-fi animated movie depicts a social catastrophe on the far distant alien planet Yagam, run by the Draags, highly intellectual, spiritual, blue-skinned, red-eyed giants. Their household pets are tiny, pink-skinned bipeds called Oms who were brought from the planet Terra. Fed up with the maltreatment from their owners, the oppressed Oms decide to start a rebellion to achieve equality and a better life. But the Draags are determined to exterminate the entire species once and for all. Fantastic Planet was the winner of a 1973 Cannes Film Festival grand prize.

Wow. I haven't seen that since uni and that's a loooonng time ago. It was a very popular film at the time.

It is best watched with psychotropic drugs and a darkened room. If you get my hint
It requires less mental effort to condemn than to think - Emma Goldman

Are you gaming it, then?  I'd love to see what you make of it.

An old favorite of mine. I first got to see it in the theater as a double feature with Barbarella. I think I was 5.

Says a lot about how I ended up the way I did.
