Review of Fantastic Planet (1973) by Tom M — 19 Mar 2008
When I realised this was a weird old school cartoon I was about to turn it off but then I was immediately intrigued.
Fantastic Planet is actually a.. umm.. fantastic movie. The storyline is just insanely modern, the surreal world is amazing. The parallel between how the "giants" treat humans in this movie with how we treat animals is pretty obvious yet it still makes you think.
Its all comparable to these fantasy japanese cartoons but I prefer this than the japanese "equivalents". Perhaps because its closer to western mentality.. and I have difficulty "getting" japanese culture.
Highly recommended.
