René Laloux was born in Paris in 1929 and went to art school to study painting. After some time working in advertising, he got a job in a psychiatric institution where he began experimenting in animation with the interns. It is at the psychiatric institution that he made 1960's Monkey's Teeth (The Teeth of the Monkey), in collaboration with Paul Grimault's studio, and using a script written by the Court Cheverny's interns. Another important collaborator of his was Roland Topor with whom Laloux made Dead Time (Dead Times, 1964), The Snails (The Snails, 1965) and his most famous work, the feature length Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage, 1973). Laloux also worked with Jean Giraud (Mœbius) to create the lesser known film Les Maîtres du temps (Time Masters), released in 1982. Laloux's 1988 film, had annexed, was released in the US as Light Years, and made in cooperation with the artist Caza.
