Topic: Movie Reviews!
Well, well, well...
I'm like, really bored.
I watched this movie last night...

Weird as Hell.
It's about these big, blue giants who keep humans as pets and the humans revolt.
It's actually supposed to represent the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslavakia is the 1960's. (The film was made in 1973) Kind of a political statement film.
It's like the Yellow Submarine but 10x weirder.
BTW: It was all in French. Great.
Here an "official review"
FANTASTIC PLANET (or translated literally from the French—THE SAVAGE PLANET). It is the home to two races: the Oms (a homonym for the French word for Man—"Homme"), who appear to be like us in every respect, and the Traags, blue-skinned giants, who keep Oms as pets and consider them no more than clever animals. FANTASTIC PLANET is the story of one Om, a boy named Terr, who enters the story as a baby when his mother is accidentally killed by a group of young Traags engaged in a bit of rough play. He is adopted as a pet by Tiwa, another young Traag who treats him as kindly as she knows how. Terr grows quickly relative to his "owner"—each of his years are like a week for the Traags—and begins to learn about the world he lives in. When he is old enough, Terr escapes into the outside world where he joins a clan of wild Oms, who face dangers of all kinds—not the least of which is a periodic attempt by the Traags to exterminatate the rapidly reproducing wild Oms. Ultimately, Terr and his fellow Oms find themselves in a fight against total annihilation.

Well, enough with weird-ass French films.
