visually interesting film, the narrative of which has some philosophical and political implications. it's short and easy to keep watching because of the occasional vignettes of Om and Tragg life (the "imaginations", the "meditations", the hunts and what seems to be a fertility ritual), which are left largely unexplained, which saves this from being one of those science fiction pieces that feels like a cheesy crash-course on quickly developing an impossible setting. though some summaries describe it as being set in the future, "Fantastic Planet" cleverly doubles as an earth-creation myth, in my opinion. wrap your head around it.
