Animation question


Is the animation style close to that of Fantastic Planet? If so, Im definitely hunting this one down. I didnt even think to look up Laloux's other work until now. Thanks in advance!

Heck no. The animation styles between all three of his feature length movies are significantly different.

Although Les Maîtres Du Temps was animated in same region of Europe as Fantastic Planet, it looks much more "western"; in turn, Gandahar was animated in North Korea, and if you've seen Korean animation, you know what to expect.

It's closeer to Fantastic Planet than Les Maîtres du temps is, but only slightly. The setting, in one country rather than across several planets, in more like Fantastic Planet while the wax crayon shading gives it a "rougher" and less flat look than Les Maîtres, but not by much. The only other feature I know to have used the exact same animation method as Fantastic Planet (albeit helped a little by magnets) is Gwen, le livre de sable. If you want other things which look like the style of Fantastic Planet, you'd best look at anything which involves the designer, Roland Topor, rather than Laloux. His three features have different visual styles because they have different visual designers (each of which, well except for Mœbius, he also did a few short films with in the run-up to the feature).
