Trivia

Originally, the Draags were to be 12 meters tall, which is the height given in various press descriptions for the movie. They were enlarged considerably for the finished film, and as evidenced by the giant Draag skull in the abandoned park, there could have been even larger ones. See more »

Goofs

When the Oms pass by the whip-like plants as they cross the desert, at times the plants moving in the background overlap the ones in the foreground. See more »

Quotes

Excellent sci-fi movie.
8 February 2000 | by – See all my reviews

La Planète sauvage is a fantastic sci-fi movie. The story is great. Its about a planet called Ygam, where human-like creatures called Oms live as pets for a race of blue giants known as the Traags. An Om steals a Traag knowledge device and helps the other Oms revolt. This is just the beginning of this fantastic tale. Even tough the animation is only okay, the fantastic drawings are perfectly suited to this exceptional movie. They are beautiful are alone worth the price(and time) that will give you the chance to see this extraordinary film, but the story is also exceptional. Its hard to find but its worth it.

10 out of 10. An animation masterpiece.
