Original 8x10 inch British Front-of-House Lobby Card for FANTASTIC PLANET (La Planète Sauvage) – 1973 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 unforgettable surrealist artwork by Roland Topor. Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most visually imaginative animated films ever made, Fantastic Planet became an international cult classic for its haunting imagery, philosophical themes, and psychedelic visual style. The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and remains a landmark of adult animation and European sci-fi cinema. This striking lobby card features one of the film’s most iconic and disturbing images — the giant blue Draag figure surrounded by tiny human “Oms” — perfectly showcasing the bizarre dreamlike aesthetic that made the film legendary among collectors and fans of surrealist art.
