Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne reason the coproduction took so long to complete is that in 1968 the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia which caused a delay.
- Goofs(2016 remastered original, English subtitles.) According to Terr, one week in a Draag's life is as long as one Om (human) year. But he also says that his owner Tiwa (the Draag that raised Terr from infancy) loses interest in Terr "as she grew into her teens". By that time Terr would almost certainly be in his late middle years, at the very least -- yet Terr appears to be still no older than his twenties.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Draag child 1: It doesn't move.
Draag child 2: What a shame we can't play with her any more.
- Alternate versionsIn the German version, the humans aren't called "Oms", they are simply referred to as Menschen (humans) or Menschen-Tiere (human animals). Terr's name is also given a different origin. In both the original French and English versions, Tiwa names her pet Om Terr because his father says he behaves like a "real terror". In the German dub, Tiwa settles on the name after his father compares her pet to a struggling termite.

Featured review
Cult movie in France, not about future ... but about past ...
This is the masterpiece of René Laloux. Was an almost big success in France, was shown only 2 or 3 times in the past 20 years and is now a kind of "Cult" movie for sci fi addicts. This sci-fi movie is far much better than the two other from the same director: "Gandahar" and "Les maitres du temps" (Time Masters). René Laloux always works with great and original comics artists. He worked with "Moebius" Aka Jean Giraud on "Les maitres du temps". This artist is also credited on "Alien" , he created the space suits. He worked with "Caza" an other great comics artist for "Gandahar"
He worked wit "Topor" on "La planète sauvage". Roland Topor is a french artist with a great sense of fantasy. He designed most of all you can see on the screen. The animation was produced in Czechoslovakia because there always have been excellent animation studios in this country, and also because producing in France was far too expensive. This story takes place in the past. It is a metaphor of the man's history. The small characters are called "Oms". This word is pronounced like the french word "Hommes" that means "man". It tell us when man had to leave the original heaven. Man had to fight against his old masters to be independent and free, then he had to find his place in the universe. This is the universal story ... and that's why this movie is timeless (despite the 70s Wha Wha guitars ... ;o)
