Fantastic Planet
Fantastic Planet is one of my favorite movies. It's a 1973 hand drawn French film directed by René Laloux. Though the trailer could be a million times better the movie is worth watching! Extremely trippy.
" The film depicts a future in which human beings, known as "Oms" (a homonym of the French-language word hommes, meaning men),
are creatures on the Draags' home planet, where they are seen as pests
and sometimes kept as pets (with collars). The Draags are an alien
species which is humanoid in shape but a hundred times larger than
humans, with blue skin, fan-like earlobes and huge, protruding red eyes.
The Draags also live much longer than human beings – one Draag week
equals a human year. Some Oms are domesticated as pets, but others run
wild, and are periodically exterminated. The Draags' treatment of the
Oms is ironically contrasted with their high level of technological and
spiritual development." wiki
