Rare original UK front-of-house lobby card for the groundbreaking 1973 animated science-fiction masterpiece Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage), directed by René Laloux with extraordinary surrealist artwork by Roland Topor. This striking card features one of the film’s most memorable and unsettling images, depicting the oppressed human “Oms” beneath the towering alien Draags. The haunting monochrome artwork perfectly captures the bizarre dreamlike atmosphere that helped establish Fantastic Planet as one of the most influential cult animated films ever made. Produced in France and Czechoslovakia and released internationally to critical acclaim, the film won the Special Jury Prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and remains a landmark of adult animation, psychedelic science fiction, and surrealist cinema.
