Fantastic Planet (20 points) Nominated by: Place (0/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgCxCZNkQ9E Importance: 6 Fear: 5.5 Snake: 8.5 A landmark of sci-fi and animation, Fantastic Planet from the outside can look like an insurmountable wall thanks to its weird, eerie, and surrealistic visuals that range from the whimsical to the off-putting. You can take it at face value if you want, and enjoy it from a distance, and I'll admit, there's plenty of enjoyment you can get out of this just by merely looking at any single frame of this animated masterwork. However, you'll find looking deeper is both just as satisfying and really not as complex as it may seem. See, at its core, Forbidden Planet is an all-too-relatable allegory for racism, animal rights, and just the harmony of humanity in general. You will be surprised at just how much the impressive animation doesn't hide or muddle that fact in any way. In the film, you have the Draags, a giant race of humanoid aliens, and Oms, actual human beings taken from planet Earth. Despite the Draags' technologically advanced and philosophical society, they treat humans merely as wild animals and pets, even hunting them for sport occasionally. I'm sure I don't need to spell out how this relates to our society. One Om, named Terr, is taken in by the Draag daughter of a grand master, and though kept as a pet, Terr manages to learn a lot about Draag technology and society, and eventually leads an Om revolution against the Draags. It's pretty easy to draw comparisons to the civil rights movement at the time, or for a more appropriate French comparison, the Algerian War a decade prior to Forbidden Planet's release. But also, it draws from the entirety of human history and our constant struggle to fight against oppressors in whatever shape or form they may come in. Fantastic Planet is an impressive package with simple but deep roots that's worth watching for many reasons, be it a reverence for the animation and its influence on future works, or for those looking for a connection to archetypal characters that can easily stand as substitutes for any comparable modern situtations in our life. --- What I am about to do has not been approved by the Vatican. https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:929805858] in Snake Rank...
