WUD Film presents a single screening of Fantastic Planet (1973) for our Animation is Film festival!
France | 71 min | PG | DCP | Dir. René Laloux
   
"On a faraway planet where blue giants rule, oppressed humanoids rebel against their machine-like leaders." - (IMBD)
 
"This animated tale follows the relationship between the small human-like Oms and their much larger blue-skinned oppressors, the Draags, who rule the planet of Ygam. While the Draags have long kept Oms as illiterate pets, this hierarchy shifts after an Om boy becomes educated, thanks to a young female Draag. This leads to an Om rebellion, which weakens the Draag control over their race. Will the Oms and the Draags find a way to coexist? Or will they destroy each other?" - (Rotten Tomatoes)
 
 

For information on available assistive content for WUD Film screenings, please visit the Assistive Movie Screenings in the Marquee Theater page.
 
 
This event is intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff, Wisconsin Union members and their guests. Anyone can become a Wisconsin Union member.
