Les Maîtres du Temps (France, 1982)

The French René Laloux won a Palme d'Or more than 15 years ago with his original animation films. In "The Masters of Time", Laloux works with the best cartoon designers from Europe, creating in this way a world of strange planets, where cosmic sounds merge with water-spurting plants and animals. It is like a cartoon for adults, although there is no sexual content or violence. The concept of invading planets by stopping their time and going back 60 years is quite strange, and at times difficult to understand, so you might better pay close attention if you watch this animation film.
