Fantastic Planet

"In 1973, filmmaker René Laloux stunned the world with 'La Planète sauvage', an adult and experimental animation that won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival that year. The story takes place in a distant future, in which a race of humanoid serfs coexists with spiritually and technologically advanced beings. However, the relationship between these two societies collapses, in a story that works as an allegory for the fight for civil and animal rights. It is certainly a unique specimen of a great moment of French cinema, as well as one of the best - and most experimental - adult animations ever made."
