SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Fantastic Planet, try these.

Son of the White Mare poster 01

Movie / 1981 / Adventure / Animation / Fantasy

Son of the White Mare

Why this pick

Its hand-drawn imagery is even more ecstatic and alien than Fantastic Planet, using mythic symbolism, cosmic scale, and boldly unreal color to create a singular animated dream-world.

Angel's Egg poster 02

Movie / 1985 / Animation / Anime / Drama / Fantasy / Horror / Science Fiction

Angel's Egg

Why this pick

A spare, enigmatic animated fable with monumental strange architecture and an unsettling sense of ritual. Like Fantastic Planet, it trusts visual atmosphere over explanation.

The Wolf House poster 03

Movie / 2018 / Animation / Drama / Horror

The Wolf House

Why this pick

Its continuously mutating stop-motion world turns oppression into tactile nightmare imagery. It shares Fantastic Planet’s unsettling beauty and allegorical view of domination.

Belladonna of Sadness poster 04

Movie / 1973 / Animation / Drama / Fantasy / Musical

Belladonna of Sadness

Why this pick

A visually radical adult animation whose flowing watercolor psychedelia and cruel fairy-tale logic echo the surreal, confrontational artistry of Fantastic Planet.

The King and the Mockingbird poster 05

Movie / 1980 / Adventure / Animation / Family / Fantasy / Romance

The King and the Mockingbird

Why this pick

This French animated classic pairs fantastical architecture with a sharp anti-authoritarian fable, offering a more lyrical but similarly imaginative cousin to Fantastic Planet.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In the distant future, the gargantuan blue humanoid Draags have brought human beings (who are called Oms as a play on the French word for "man", ''homme'') from Earth to the planet Ygam, where they maintain a technologically and spiritually advanced society. The Draags consider Oms animals, and while they keep some as pets, others live in the wilderness and are periodically slaughtered by the Draags, who wish to control their population. Draags have much longer lifespans than Oms, but reproduce much less.
