Week 9 movie Fantastic Planet

Ive seen parts of this movie before but never the whole thing. its very surrealist and experimental i think film wise. I was very excited to get to watch the whole thing through for once. the concept is neat and i think easy to grasp. the art style is not really my taste but i appreciate it. I really liked the concept of lessons i think it would be neat to have information available like that. I think the environment and landscape is interesting and i liked the gem scene.
 I like the costume design for the Oms they remind me of clown costumes, the colors and shapes of them. the creatures in this world are interesting and scary in a way.  the imagery is really fantastical.
The animation is also interesting and its stop motion-ness and jerky action goes well with the art style and level of surrealist that it is. i think all the technical choices fit very well. The concepts of different Oms societies i think was nice to add too.

Overall my favorite part was definitely the different creatures and animals on the planet, they were very imaginative and surrealist and just interesting to look at and see how they work, what they do, and how they interact with each other and everyone else. the story arc was interesting and very other worldly apocalyptic type thing. its a good foreign film worth reading the subtitles for.
