Original title (FR): Les maîtres du temps (The Masters of Time)
On planet Perdide, an attack of giant hornets leaves Piel – a young boy – alone in a wrecked car with his dying father. A mayday message reaches their friend Jaffar, an adventurer travelling through space. On board Jaffar’s shuttle are the renegade Prince Matton, his fiancée, and Silbad who knows the planet Perdide well. Thus begins an incredible race across space to save Piel.
From René Laloux, director of Fantastic Planet and Gandahar (aka Light Years).
Oh sick! Fantastic Planet was really good and I was just watching his short The Snails last night and the poster for this movie caught my eye. I’ll check out the restoration.
