Fantastic Planet aka La planète sauvage Original Lobby Card Animation Science Fiction Film directed by Rene La Loux 1973 8x10 inch Near Mint Condition Rare original UK front-of-house lobby card for the groundbreaking 1973 animated science-fiction classic Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage), directed by René Laloux with surreal artwork and visual design by Roland Topor. This striking image features two of the film’s eerie humanoid alien figures interacting with tiny human “Oms,” perfectly illustrating the bizarre scale contrasts and unsettling visual imagination that made Fantastic Planet one of the most distinctive cult films of the 1970s. The stark monochrome artwork is classic Roland Topor — combining surrealism, satire, fantasy, and psychological unease into a uniquely haunting composition that has become iconic among collectors of psychedelic cinema and underground illustration. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Fantastic Planet remains one of the most influential works of adult animation ever produced and a landmark of European science-fiction cinema.
