SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Laloux’s earlier animated science-fiction fable shares Gandahar’s alien ecosystems, surreal organic imagery, and deceptively gentle visual style surrounding a darker, politically charged conflict.
02
Why this pick
Another Laloux vision: a spare, dreamlike animated odyssey through strange planets, where unusual creatures and melancholy imagination matter more than conventional action.
03
Why this pick
Its blazing, psychedelic hand-drawn worlds and mythic quest offer the same pleasure in animation unconstrained by realism, with fantastical beings and a singular visual imagination.
04
Why this pick
For Gandahar’s hushed otherworldliness and enigmatic beauty, this near-wordless animated fantasy creates a similarly haunting, meticulously imagined civilization.
05
Why this pick
A foundational French animated fantasy with elegant surreal architecture, authoritarian menace, and a poetic resistance story beneath its storybook surfaces.

01 / THE STORY
The peaceful people of Gandahar are suddenly attacked by an army of Autonomous robot known as the Men of Metal, that march through the villages and kidnap their victims by turning them to stone. The resulting statues are collected and then transferred to their base. At the capital city of Jasper, the Council of Women orders Sylvain to investigate. On his journey, he encounters the Deformed, a race of mutant beings who were accidentally created via Genetic engineering by Gandahar’s scientists. Despite their resentment, they are also threatened by the Men of Metal and offer to help Sylvain.
