Time Masters (''Les maîtres du temps'') is an 1982 Franco-Hungarian animated film by Rene Laloux and {{Moebius}}, based on Stephan Wul's novel "L'orphelin de Perdide".
Piel and his father are on a distant planet, Perdide, frantically fleeing giant hornets before crashing. Piel's father gives him a small communicator before dying, telling the small boy that its name is Mike and that he needs to listen to everything it says. On the other end is Jaffar, a space captain. On his ship is Bella and her fiance, an exiled prince named Matton and a technical wizard named Silbad. They take on [[FireForgedFriends each other]] and the perils of space's bizarre alien worlds while searching for Piel, and when they find him, the story goes from wacky {{nightmare fuel}}eriffic space escapades to a TearJerker. Be warned.
The film encompasses a great number of themes Laloux is fond of: MindScrew, SceneryPorn, and NightmareFuel.
