Fantastic Planet

1973, 71 minutes.
Not Rated; rec. for 12 and up

dir: René Laloux

Saturday April 26
2 pm; Free


Hand drawn stop-action animation is used to tell the story of humans who are pets to 40 foot aliens in this distinctive film. A groovy soundtrack and some weighty themes give this film from 1973 a long-lasting reach.
