Looking for some ideas of things to watch I like: animated, SF and comedy movies :)

    Weird 70s animated sci fi: Fantastic Planet. The original is in French (which I prefer) but it also has an English dub. It’s French sci fi from the 70s so this probably goes without saying, but in case anyone was considering a first watch with their parents or small children: there’s a fair amount of nudity and sex.

    If you haven’t seen Wolfwalkers it’s also worth a watch. It’s by the same studio that made Secret of Kells, and takes place during the Tudor conquest of Ireland. This one is kid friendly, but I’ve watched it with a group of adults and we all enjoyed it.

        Fantastic Planet’s score was also sampled heavily on Quasimoto’s “The Unseen”.

      I’ve been reading a lot of Stefan Wul lately. Fantastic Planet was an adaption of one of his books. Great stuff. So weird.

      (You know the scene where the Oms in the park take down two Draags? In the book, they don’t have weapons (and they’re not as tiny). It’s more like an attack by a pack of dogs. They bite the Draags to death.)
