LA PLANETE SAUVAGE, FANTASTIC PLANET ( Masters of Cinema) HD DVD Trailer

René Laloux s mesmerising psychedelic scifi animated feature won the Grand Prix at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and is a landmark of European animation. Based on Stefan Wul s novel Oms en série Oms by the dozen, Laloux s breathtaking vision was released in France as La Planète sauvage The Savage Planet; in the USA as Fantastic Planet; and immediately drew comparisons to Swift s Gulliver s Travels and Planet of the Apes (both the 1968 film and Boule s 1963 novel).
