''Fantastic Planet'' (French title: ''La Planète Sauvage'') is a 1973 Czech/French animated, experimental film. The story is set on Ygam, the alien homeworld of the Draags (or Traags), where humans -- known as Oms -- exist as both a population of troublesome vermin and also as pets. The film follows a young Om as he is captured by a Draag family and kept as a pet by a young girl, who inadvertently teaches him about Draag culture and technology. After escaping from the Draag home, he joins a clan of wild Oms, bringing with him the knowledge to reshape their society and relationship with the Draags.

trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** The natives of the planet are called "Traags" in the original French version. The English dub calls them "Draags."
** You'd be forgiven for thinking that Tiwa's name is spelled "Tiva" since they pronounce the 'w' like the English 'v'. Justified in that the movie was animated and partly produced in Czechoslovakia, and both languages (Czech and Slovak) in that country pronounce the letter that way.

Adding sexophone link


* Sexophone: Alain Gorageur's eerie jazz fusion score mostly consists of synthesizers, guitars and flutes. When the Oms engage in semi-ritualized sex, the music is a deep saxophone.

* DeathWorld: Pretty much everything on Ygam is an active threat to Oms, be it flying monsters, bizarre weather, rival tribes and of course the Traags' systemic culling of their population.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Draags aren't truly evil, but see Oms(humans) the same way we would small creatures like Hamsters and Mice. While some keep Oms as pets, Om reproduction forces the Draag government to cull the wild Om population every so often.

* BodyHorror: The Draag meditation ritual apparently involves the participants' bodies(sans head) morphing and melding into bizarre shapes, including disembodied nervous system. Tiwa's dad is a little embarrassed when Tiwa and Terr walk in on him and his peers in the midst of one such ritual.

* ShoutOut: The whole film can basically be considered one big shout-out to the work of medieval painter Hieronymous Bosch, but RecycledInSpace. The washed-out colour palette, charcoal shading, uncanny humans and gigantic [[StarfishAlien starfish aliens]] heavily ressemble his notoriously bizarre works, which were seeing a revival amongst drug users of the time.

Where the Hell are you getting this from? The Drags don't leave and are living in peace with the humans at the end of the movie. Keep in mind the planet has two moons by the end which Earth doesn't.

* TheUnblinking: As part of their BizarreAlienBiology, the Draags have no eyelids, and therefore don't blink. When they sleep, their eyes go blank.
