Review of Fantastic Planet (1973) by Humberto S — 31 Aug 2014
Some cool designs but in world building, characterization, metaphorical inventiveness, and as SF allegory it was about 50 years behind the field. For trippy world building, check out Stanley G. Weinbaum's 1934 story "A Martian Odyssey.
" For much earlier strong, if equally labored, SF allegory in film, check out Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou's "Metropolis.".
