Thirty-five years later, Rene Laloux's surreal animated film remains a singular psychedelic experience.

The film's images are phantasmagorical.

Surreal and wonderful in a way not often seen from Europe.

Grotesque yet graceful, it's a hallucinatory vision quite unlike everything you've ever seen.

It's not every fancifully encoded cautionary tale that can survive the demise of its historical villains, and it's not every stoner midnight movie that can stand a second viewing in the sober light of day.

A jarring examination of racism and intolerance.

an utterly unique film

Roland Topor's graphics create a world reminiscent of two of the greatest artists of the fantastic, Bosch and Odilon Redon.

A patchwork of cutouts from Soviet tech and science magazines pinned into druggy tableaux, with a genuine sense of placid terror to give teeth to its planar allegories

For original, thoughtful, often strong (but tasteful) animation, I recommend Fantastic Planet for family viewing.

There is a strange, dreamlike placidity that hangs - like a silent, terrifying fog - over René Laloux's 1973 animated sci-fi classic.
September 09, 2008
The film has a flat quality that cannot entirely be overcome by the sensational animation and the obvious good intentions of its creators.
