* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w3r0ARc-To opening chase music.]] It's a funky track that gets your blood pumping for the rest of the film.
** The iconic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNmUNFI75eU ending theme]]. It's a trippy, spine-tingling mix between a funeral march and a lullaby.
* CriticalBacklash: Upon its release, this [[InternationalCoproduction French-Hungarian coproduction]] got trashed by critics in Hungary, who targeted all of its French aspects (writing, direction and mostly art design), arguing they're unfit for sci-fi. [[VindicatedByHistory Ironically, many people nowadays regard Moebius' art influence as the best thing about the film.]]
* CultClassic: According to its editor/sound editor at least, the movie was this in the US, though still overshadowed by ''Animation/FantasticPlanet''.
* IAmNotShazam: The Masters Of Time are an alien race, not the ship's crew.
* OneSceneWonder: The titular Time Masters; their only shown member appears at the very end [[spoiler:attending Silbad's funeral.]]
* UglyCute: The gnomes [[http://eurekavideo.co.uk/moc/images/stills/les-maitres-du-temps/04.jpg Yula and Jad]], and a good number of the odd native animals.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The angels inhabiting Gamma 10 have been analyzed as a TakeThat to Christianity and religion.
** Also, in contrast to the film's critique of Christian/Western religion, symbols from Eastern religion appear in a more positive light: "Mike" is a yin-yang, and the wise, superintelligent Yula & Jad emerge from a lotus.
