[Dead-Air]

I just watched Fantastic Planet tonight and it was every bit as good as I'd hoped. Very surreal visually, but more true to science fiction than I'd actually expected. My wife commented that it was very ahead of it's time for 1973, but I'm not sure that's exactly true as animations such as The Point were contemporary and 2001 A Space Odyssey had already been in the big theaters. Nonetheless it is a very striking piece of film art with a subtle political undercurrent.

Here's a really cool trailer.
