| There's an animated SF film called "Fantastic Planet." Perhaps that's
what you are. Did it have blue giants in it?

| Yep. That's it. I wish I had seen more of it.

| I saw Fantastic Planet - or whatever - a few months ago
on USA network (cable TV). It appears periodically on
Night Flight - their Friday/Saturday night (11 pm to 6 am?)
showfest. Also appearing comedy, music, cult films, etc.

| Perhaps the Moderator should change the title of this Topic
so that it is accurate (in case anyone else looking for this film
is using DIR/TITLE=fantastic), and just for accuracy's sake in general.

| 476.6 | try a LARGE video store | DDMAIL::ANDREWS | Just living a life of illusion | Tue May 26 1987 19:51 | 12 |
| (Back to the subject)
I was in a video store this past weekend and saw this film for rent
there. Try the bigger stores, as I have never seen it in the smaller
ones. (I live in the north 'burbs of Chicago so it won't help you
to tell you the store name)
As I recall, it will probably be shown sometime this month again
on USA. Check the cable guide. It is always shown late at night
Saturday night.

| If you're really anxious to see the film, you can buy it for under
ten bucks. I just saw "Fantastic Planet: on VHS for sale for $9.99
at the Purity Supreme grocery store in Nashua, NH.

| 476.8 | Le Planete Sauvage | MXOV00::ZAJBERT | | Mon Jun 08 1987 20:13 | 17 |
|
This week they were showing it in some local moviehouse (in Mexico
City) and I happened to read about it in a magazine. Here is what they said:
Le Planete Sauvage - France and Czhecoslovakia, 1973 - Directed by
Ren� Laloux and Roland Topor.
The authors present the disturbing vision of a world inhabited by
strange creatures whose pets are no less than humankind's ancestors.
Filmed in collaboration with Jiri Trnka's Czhec team, this film -
specially for the beauty of the grafical designs by Roland Topor -
constitutes a magnificent example of the development reached by
the animation moviemaking.

| That should probably read "mankind's descendants" since the humans
use a lot of advanced technology. Does anyone remember a similar
novel by William Tenn called "Of Men and Monsters"? Here, humanity was
reduced to mice scrabbling in the walls of the 600 foot alien Monsters.
Was done more for satire, though, rather than for evoking the alien.
Both are probably ultimately derived from Swift's "Gulliver's Travels".
