Fantastic Planet

(La planète sauvage)

Synopsis

Fantastic Planet is an allegorical tale about the struggle for freedom by a race of humanoid creatures called "Oms." The Oms live on the far away planet of Ygam, ruled by a society of blue-skinned giants called Traags, who keep the Oms as domesticated pets for their children. But when one orphaned Om manages to escape with a Traag knowledge device, he unites a society of wild Oms to use the knowledge in a revolt against their exploitive treatment. The wild Oms attack the Traags in their most vulnerable spot by traveling to a strange planet, a mystical moon orbiting around their home world, which holds the secret to the Traag's existence...
