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.

Brings back great memories
What a great movie! I had completely forgotten about this film -in fact, I hadn't seen it in over 20 years. Well, I rented 'The Cell' and while I was watching the scene where Jennifer Lopez is in her house with the television on, I noticed those blue aliens and the memories came rushing back! Of course, I came to IMDB to figure out what the title of the film was (it was in the trivia section of 'The Cell' review), and I was pleasantly surprised to find the title. I went and bought the DVD, which is truly outstanding! The basic premise of the movie is that a race of aliens keeps domesticated humans as pets, while eliminating their feral brethren in the wild. The story centers around Terr, who is rescued from a pack of cruel alien children by the daughter of a high-ranking official. Eventually he runs away and ends up meeting the humans living in the wild. They become tired of the treatment they suffer at the hands of the alien race, and seek to exact revenge on their captors.
This movie was made nearly 30 years ago, so the animation is not really comparable to modern-day animation, but the story and the plot transcend time. The premise of the film is as valid today as it was in the 70s.
The DVD edition of the movie comes with three additional animated shorts by Rene Laloux, and they are just as entertaining. This is a real gem of a movie...truly beautiful. My kids love it as well. A true masterpiece.
9/10.
