FANTASTIC PLANET — THE CRITERION COLLECTION

Beautiful French animated surreal dystopian sci-fi flick will mess you up.

René Laloux's 1973 classic is full of surprises. 

Simplistic animation soars to Salvador Dalí levels of bizarre imagination over a funky jazz score by Alan Goraguer.

Big alien people oppress small human people as if they were on par with gerbils.

Agitprop storytelling spells out dangers of "conformity and violence" with a biting satiric wit, writ large.

Trippy baby. Trippy.

Do your own thing.

Not Rated. 72 mins. 

Groupthink doesn't live here, critical thought does.
