Planet
dir.
Rene Laloux, Czechoslovakia/France, 1973, DVD, 71 mins, color
 This
spellbinding animated marvel focuses on the Revolt of the Oms
— descendants of the survivors of Earth, now kept as pets by
the giant blue-skinned Traags who live in a faraway solar system.
The story features Terr, an Om who escapes from his owner, joins
a band of wild Oms and ultimately leads a revolt against the
Traags. A beautifully conceived, much loved, work by Czechoslovakian
and French animation wizards, suitable for children and adults
alike.
Bring
your chairs and blankets for this special outdoor event.
The screening will move into the theater in case of rain.
