Description:

The masterpiece "Fantastic Planet," based on the original story by French science fiction writer Stéphane Urre and illustrated by painter Laurent Topol, known for his fantastic style, was adapted to film by animator René Laloux, who had previously made only short films, and has many enthusiastic fans around the world. The DVD, which has sold more than 10,000 copies over the past decade or so, is already out of print. The story takes place on a planet somewhere in the universe. The Drag race, giant humanoid aliens who control advanced science, and the Om race, human beings similar to earthlings who are oppressed like insects by the Drag race. A full-scale confrontation between the two races finally begins before a large-scale cleanup operation by the Drag race. ......! The characters and creatures are unparalleled, and unlike Japanese animation, the detailed illustrations with their touch and colors seem to move as they are, a style of art. The audio of the film has been newly remastered by world-class engineer Seigen Ono (Sidera Mastering)! The music was composed by Alain Goraguerre, a highly acclaimed jazz pianist, who further enlivens the fantastic visual world with electronic music that makes extensive use of synthesizers, which were the most advanced at the time of the '70s.As usual, Ono Seigen's careful mastering of this audio, which was recorded in mono but in very good condition on the master, further polishes it up.
