La Planète sauvage (The Wild Planet) is a cartoon from 1973. It is based on the book Oms en Série by Pierre Pairault (1957).
action
The Om, a human race, live on the planet Ygam, and some of them are kept as pets by the giant Draag, especially their children. Tiwa, a Draag girl, is allowed to keep the Om boy Terr after some Draag children played his mother to death and Tiwa discovered him afterwards.
Tiwa receives daily lessons through a device that she places on her head. Since Terr Tiwa disappears again and again and both disturb the adults, Tiwa's father makes a neck ring for Terr, which prevents his escape, which draws him to this device through a kind of call device like magnetism. Terr's neck ring comes into contact with Tiwa's learning device, allowing him to learn her lessons.
When Tiwa is away from home for her first meditation one day, Terr, who has meanwhile grown into a young man, manages to escape with the learning device. He is found by an Om girl who lives with a group of free Oms (called "wild" Oms by the Draags) and freed from the neck ring. After the initial resistance of the free Om, they use the learning device to acquire the knowledge of the Draag.
The Om live undisturbed for a while, but then the regular extermination against the Om in the nearby park is due and many Om lose their lives. While the Om are fleeing, they are discovered by two strolling Draag who attack them. The Om fight back and can kill a Draag. Knowing that killing the Draag will have serious consequences, the Om decide to flee very far and after a long time they reach a kind of technology cemetery. While the Draag decide on more drastic eradication measures, the Om develop a variety of techniques for their size using the Draag technique. The surviving Om fly with two rockets to a satellite, where they find dancing stone couples. These are used by the Draag for their daily, vital meditation and reproduction. When the Om fear being discovered or stepped on by the dancing Draag, the Om begin to destroy the stone figures with their lasers and the Draag has no choice but to seek peace negotiations. The Om get a new home with a new artificial satellite, which brings the war to an end.
The planet Ygam appears in the film as a surrealistic world. In the forays of Terrs and the free Om, scenarios are repeatedly presented in which there are downright absurd, sometimes Dadaistic -looking processes in nature: For example, a mother animal eats her newly hatched cub shortly after she has caressed it.
Time and again, parts of the story are explained and reported from Terr's first-person narrator perspective.
production
La Planète sauvage is a French-Czechoslovak co-production ; the drawings were made exclusively in Czechoslovakia.
Reviews
“The world that this film shows is extremely fantastic indeed. Every new setting fascinates with creepy absurdities, and yet the symbolic meaning remains recognizable. Hardly any spectator will be able to escape the magical effects. "
“The animation lacks a bit of dynamism by today's standards, but the psychedelic jazz soundtrack by Alain Goraguer is a real blast. [...] Conclusion: A wild miracle of early animation art. "
