This haunting and highly atmospheric image depicts two human “Oms” surrounded by strange alien organisms within the bizarre dreamlike landscape of the film’s fantasy world. The scene perfectly captures the unsettling beauty and psychological surrealism that established Fantastic Planet as one of the most influential cult animated films ever produced.
