On the planet Ygam, the Draags, extremely technologically and spiritually advanced blue humanoids, consider the tiny Oms, human beings descendants of Terra's inhabitants, as ignorant animals. Those who live in slavery are treated as simple pets and used to entertain Draag children; those who live hidden in the hostile wilderness of the planet are periodically hunted and ruthlessly slaughtered as if they were vermin.

Time Out,

fresh:
It's not every fancifully encoded cautionary tale that can survive the demise of its historical villains, and it's not every stoner midnight movie that can stand a second viewing in the sober light of day.
– Gary Dauphin,

fresh:
For original, thoughtful, often strong (but tasteful) animation, I recommend Fantastic Planet for family viewing.
– Howard Thompson,

rotten:
The film has a flat quality that cannot entirely be overcome by the sensational animation and the obvious good intentions of its creators.
