A film directed by

It doesn't move.

What a shame we can play with her anymore.

Look out! It's Master Sinh.

Oh, look father. A
female Om and her baby.

Do you suppose she's dead?

I think so, Tiva.

And the baby and why is he crying?

I don't know. It may be
that he's afraid or he's hungry.

We can't leave him here like this.
May I keep him father?

May I father. All take good care of him.

Very well Tiva, we can't
let the poor animal die.

That was the first time I saw
the Draag prime minister.

He saved my life and linked
his fate with mine.

He was unaware of this of
course until much later.

Mother! Mother!

Oh, mother.

Look at the darling baby Om.

His mother's dead. I'm going to keep him.

He so tiny and fragile.

Tiva,

you've disturbed
your mother's meditation.

If you don't discipline this animal,
I'll have to take it away.

But father, he escaped. He needs a collar.

Now you must learn how to use it.
Watch.

Now, put him down.

That's fun. Let me try it.

Not so much power. The animal is delicate.

You might hurt him.

What will you name him?

I think I'll call him, Tiva, like me.

That's no name for an Om. You
must call him Fido or Trusty.

Look how he squirms. He's a real terror.

I'll call him... terr?

Terr?

Terr.

I was forgotten.

After all, of what significance
was a mere baby Om,

in comparison to the extraordinary
importance of meditation.

That mysterious right to which
my Master's devoted themselves

and which seemed to be
their main preoccupation.

Unexpectedly our major
factories on the Uva of Goham

have not even come close to the obtaining
the predicted level of achievement.

It appears that a unusual
degree of wear on the machines

he has caused this decline in production.

Master Taj, have you any idea what
is causing this unusual wear?

Not at present, no.

Meanwhile however we've withdrawn several
machines from our reserve sector.

In order to meet the schedule.

I don't understand.

These machines have always
performed with optimum efficiency.

Have similar problems arisen in other Uvas?

- No. - No.
- No.

Only those machines that were reinstalled
after the Antax Space Mission

have for some reason failed to
complete their assignments.

Master Sinh, our scientists
attribute this strange loss of

efficiency to a rupture in the
emotional compensation system.

They also claim that the
Om's ancestors on the

ancient planet Terra
were quite intelligent.

Of course since they may have
destroyed their entire civilization

I doubt that's correct.

It's evident the animal possesses
certain faculties for adaptation.

But intelligence?

Perhaps we underestimate the Om's.

The tiny animals we caress
between medications

may well surprise us one day.

Extensive studies revealed
numerous traces of organized life.

Their faculty for adaptation
as you say, Master Ka,

might indicate a somewhat
advanced evolution.

Oms may have a far shorter
lifespan than ours

but don't forget, they reproduce
much more rapidly.

Of course, if the animal evolves...

we've not yet ascertained that fact.

But no, one can ascertain that there
was considerable damage and chaos

wreaked by the Oms
in the Uvas of Jext and Telez.

Although the number of domesticated
Oms is easily controllable

it appears that in reality

the number of savage Oms far
exceeds our accepted totals.

We de-Om-ize the savage Oms
every three cycles

but I question if this is adequate?

Unfortunately, our methods
are quite limited.

More stringent measures
must be implemented.

New extermination methods are under study

but I doubt if they'll suffice.

Tiva, go play somewhere else.

Forgive me.

Our commercial visions were
especially vivid today.

Now this pest has disrupted us.

Don't apologize,
our children love these Oms.

I developed rapidly in this slow universe.

For each Draag week was equivalent
to one of my years.

I was only a living toy but on
occasion a toy who dared to rebel.

Terr loves Tiva.

Repeat!

Terr loves Tiva.

Repeat!

Tiva acquired her education by
means of a set of earphone's.

This complicated apparatus transmitted
lessons directly into the brain

where they were forever
engraved upon her memory.

Our planet Ygam possesses a single
satellite: Fantastic Planet.

We utilize this uninhabited
planet for medication.

Ygam is divided into several Uvas.

Two of the Uvas, Strom and Yot,
are natural and symmetrical.

Among the other Uva's, Urtanac the largest

it is completely covered
by blue asconic masses.

Which cause extreme temperature
variations from to laiks

and is therefore inaccessible
to replical exploitation

the Uva, of Goham, is dominated
by a inland fepular sea

which stabilizing the oponic
at about laiks.

Ankleblocks counteract
the process of pontic probation.

While omalleyin globes
regularize the pressure.

All Uvas undergo a cycle of three
pistula seasons of unequal duration.

The season of Gareem
crystallization...

It was only by chance that I was able to
acquire the knowledge of the Draag's.

These lessons were of great interest and
I tried to retain everything I heard.

All preexisting drosks. The
adjacent Sara drosks.

Consequently the topography
is regularly modified

in all non-inhabited areas.

The vesqules cliffs bordering
some portions of the fepular sea

are eroded by torrential rains…

Tiva, Tiva bring your animal.

Jurgal has his.
We can have some fun.

No, he'll only get hurt.
Jurgal's Om is to savage!

The other day he almost
pulled off Terr's ears.

Oh Tiva, he won't hurt him.
Come and play!

Come and see! Come and see!

Make Terr fight,
it'll be more fun.

Terr will win. He's a really demon.

Fight Terr!

- He sings well.
- Terr can also sing..

Sing Terr! Sing sing.

- He's going to strangle him!
- What's got into him?

What a disagreeable Om!

The mabreno or fladic
muscular system of the tark.

It's particularly accessible
since this animal is easily skinned…

Mabreno or fladic muscular
system of the tark.

Is particularly accessible
since this animal is easily skinned…

Listen, you hear the Om.

That's Tiva's lesson.

She's so fond of Terr,
the two are never separated.

Think he understands
what he's saying?

Um, I doubt it.

But regardless, I shall forbid Tiva to
keep the Om with her during her info's.

She must study seriously.

Let us first observed the Siskinian
leg muscle of a tark.

It is a fleshy, fuliform vilok.
Pink in color…

The Molog is an enviparous animal.

It possesses almost a billion lucons.

Given an agrate luconic surface
evaluated at oviers.

The surface of a lucone
consist of minute cells.

Separated by thin plaques of organoid.

Researchers have recently advocated

that these plaques are not
genuinely organoid...

You still have Terr with you
during your info's?

I have forbidden that.

Go to the Om house immediately!

But father, he doesn't disturbing
me, and he's so happy.

It's you who must enjoy your info's.
Now return to your studies.

The day arrived for the Draag children
to participate in their first meditation.

For them the initiation ceremony
represented an essential

step to the development
of their intellectual maturity.

For some time now my intimacy
with Tiva has been waning.

As she matured
into an adolescent,

she gradually
abandoned her toys.

When I could no longer
benefit from her lessons,

I decided to run away.

Mother!

I can't find Terr!

And my earphones are missing.

Then you must use your bracelet.

But if he's far away I'll hurt him.

Never mind put your bracelet
on maximum force.

No mother.

You're not very smart
a typical domesticated Om.

But you have a collar too.

Mine is not real,
it's to fool the Draag's.

And what's that?

A learning device of the Draag's.

A what?

Here I'll show you.

Listen.

Forth info: Valio cycle.

We have noted that
the search for skelonic's

in a tri-dimensional
pernetrope as conducted

in the same manner as a plan pernetrope.

Subsequently, it should be emphasized
that this search is not limited.

Don't be afraid, it isn't dangerous.

You stole this? Where are you taking it?

- I don't know.
- Come with me.

My new companion led me to her friends.

They dwelt secretly in the great
tree, at the bottom of a deserted park.

Since I was a ridiculous domesticated Om

I received a mocking welcome
from the savage Oms.

Don't touch that chest! It's a trap!

Because I had brought to the great
tree the knowledge of the Draag's,

the jealous sorcerer
at once turned against me.

We brought back five chest mighty one.

Why are there only four of them.

One of the chest was a trap
and now Rover is dead.

He knew it was a trap mighty one.

He's a domesticated Om mighty one.

He ran away with this machine of the Draag.

With it he's learned to read their writing.

Ask him what's in that chest over there.

Does he know what's in these chests.

In that one?

Yes, magnetic powder.

It is completely covered
by blue asconic masses.

Which cause extreme temperature
variations from to laiks

and is therefore inaccessible
to replical exploitation

the Uva, of Goham, is dominated
by a inland fepular sea

which stabilizing the oponic
at about laiks.

Ankleblocks counteract
the process of pontic probation.

While omalleyin globes
regularize the pressure.

All Uvas undergo a cycle of three
pistula seasons of unequal duration.

The season of Gareem...

Why did you stop the info's?

The knowledge of the Draag's is evil.

We have no need for it.

We are not domesticated Oms.
Terr is challenged.

He must fight. As the law commands.

Go, bring the animals combat.

You are the victor.

Remain with us in the great tree.
You will be useful to our tribe.

Tomorrow we leave on an expedition.

Thus I participated in my first
incursion into Draag territory.

To steal food.

Courage, we're not far from the great tree.

It's the Band Of The Hollow Log. Watch out!

Why did they attack us?

Because they're bandits. Beware of them.

They are evil. They live
on the other side of the park.

The first peramic civilization
was created by the great Zarek,

in the third millennium
before the era of Crog.

Legend has it, that he still animates
the sphere of life from his tomb.

That his body is invulnerable
and unalterable,

although constantly trans-pierced
by natural and artificial projectiles

and that his spirit is continued

to transverse the skies
of Ygam's regularly.

Ever since the first
invasion of the Jankos

was repulsed by the Draag
armies under his leadership.

Some scholars attribute the origin
of this principle of meditation

to this continued intervention
by the great Zarek.

Others believe that he is immortal
and reemerges from the flames of time

into a whirling reality
infinitely multiplied

to come combat the element
of the Draag's spirit which seeks to die.

In fact after the...

Pyramidic era, the Draags
through their repeated

repulsions of the Jankos
invasions

- developed a high degree...
- The Oms are gradually learning.

If only we could get more info headsets.

Terr.

You know as much as the Draag's.

Me...

I am barely able to write.

Look.

Your not mistaken?

Did you read it correctly?

Yes, de-Omanization was written
on the walls of the park.

What do you think it means?

The Draag's intend to k*ll
all the Oms in the park.

Long ago I witness a de-Omanization.
It was horrible.

But here in the great tree I think
we will be perfectly safe.

What will we do?

It had to come.

In any case, we have time to prepare.

We'll post guards tonight.

The Draag's will m*ssacre us.

They're punishing us
for stealing knowledge.

Let us pray to the Fantastic Planet.

The guards will warn us
when they attack.

Tomorrow we'll see.

What were you doing in our territory? Eh?

I came to warn you.

Tomorrow the Draag's are going
to de-Omanize the park.

De-Omanize the park! Is that so!
How do you know this?

One of our tribe saw it,
written on the wall.

The Oms of the great tree know
how to read Draag writing now?

Don't listen to him!

It's a trap. They want us
to leave the hollow log.

Believe me! The
Draag's will de-Omanize.

Take him away!

One of you, go look at the walls.

- Listen!
- The Draag's!

Silence!

- It smells of Oms.
- What vermin.

The great council should de-Omanize
the park more often.

Owning a domestic Om
is alright there amusing.

But all these savage Om's,
they steal, they're dirty,

they reproduce at an appalling rate.

There's a nest of them there.

A whole colony.

Let's stamp them out.

Mighty one is dead.

Stop crying... like babies.

We must go someplace where
the Draag's won't ever find us

I know of such a place.
I will lead you there.

This road leads to an
abandoned rocket depot.

We will be safe there.

I have always opposed de-Omanizing
only once every three cycles.

The recent events prove
how inadequate it is.

The m*rder of a Draag, it's unbelievable.

Are the Draag's so helpless that
Om's can k*ll them this easily?

The savage Om's are far more
numerous than we had ever imagined.

An examination of the corpse revealed
an incredible number of bites and wounds.

According to the Draag who escaped

the Om's attacked in great swarms.

Everyday they grow more and more audacious.

They reproduce at a frightening pace.

Master Sinh, it is most distressing
to learn, that the Uva of Telez

is not the only place where de-Omanization
has provoked fierce retaliation.

Two other Uvas,
Goham and Urtana,

have experienced similar difficulties.

In the de-Omised park.

Beside the dead Draag.

We found two remarkably
well organized home nest.

Even more disturbing and inexplicable, is
the fact that in one of these nest

boxes of stolen goods were
arranged by categories.

Since they have not been opened

how could the Oms have
known their contents.

I consider it essential that we impose
more drastic measures against the Oms.

I propose that the parks be
de-Omized twice each cycle.

It is also imperative

that we impose strict
controls on the breeding

and the sales
of all domestic Oms.

Much too often they escape again

and join this the swarms
of savage Om's

that infest the parks
and other isolated areas.

In order to de-Omize thoroughly,
we must use all our latest weapons.

We must eliminate all the savage Oms

and I posed the question,

should we even keep are domestic Oms?

We were wrong to consider Oms
as simple harmless animals.

I fear that we have committed an error
fraught with most grievous consequences.

Three seasons had passed on Ygam.

We had constructed our city in the long
abandoned Draag rocket depot.

Our ultimate goal was to reach
the Fantastic Planet.

Both domesticated and savage Oms
joined us in overwhelming numbers.

Knowledge we acquired
through the Draag's earphones

enabled us to use advanced
technological methods.

Thus we could reduce the
components of the Draag rockets

and adapt them to our own dimensions.

Filataseaum is a flasulet substance
that when narrowed into convexeun beams

creates dangerous ultrafelleck
rays that disintegrate

the strongest gamic
material found on Ygam.

We have succeeded, Terr.

The first two rockets
are now ready for testing.

For the others, its
only a matter of time and work.

We must hurry.

Our informants among the domestic Oms

clam that a massive de-Omanization
is already underway.

Any day now, we will probably
be discovered.

The two reconnaissance rockets
must blast off at once.

We have to know if life is possible
on the Fantastic Planet.

We can't wait any longer.

I'm sorry I can't go with you.

But I'm not afraid, I'm
certain you'll succeed.

We'll construct a world where Oms
can live in peace and happiness.

A world far from the Draag's.

The Fantastic Planet
will become our planet.

The world of our children.

You must go.

Go quickly.

You must...

Accidentally, we had discovered
the secret of the Draag's.

By means of their medications spheres

the Draag's arrived at the Fantastic Planet
to meet with beings from other galaxies.

And to join them in celebrating
strange nuptials rights.

They extracted from these
union the vital visionary

impulses which made
life possible for them.

Simultaneously they assured
the perpetuation of their species.

A great fear engulfed us.

The enormous feet of the giant statues
threaten to destroy our rockets.

We must do something Terr.

Yes, activate the disintegration ray.

Never have the Draag's been faced
with such imminent disaster.

Our entire civilization is doomed.

The Oms have taken revenge.

They have incredible technical

- knowledge at their disposal.
- How could they evolve so rapidly.

- They must be stopped!
- We must destroy them.

Yes but how? How?

The de-Omizations have failed.

It's already too late.

The Oms are destroying...

Theirs only one solution,

neither the Oms nor the Draag's
want to destroy themselves.

We must somehow make peace.

Since the era of Sinh,
the period of the masters of Ygam,

our Draag civilization has undergone
a remarkable evolution.

Systematically the Oms have
been given access to our

philosophical and
technological knowledge.

In return they have instilled their
vitality in resourceful work habits

into the imaginative thought
cycle of the Draag people.

Our planet now posses
two satellites:

One natural and one artificial.

The natural satellite, Fantastic Planet,

is reserved for the meditation
of the Draag.

The artificial satellite
was created by the Oms.

They named it Terra,

after their ancestral planet.

The Oms now inhabit vast cities

which they have constructed
on the various Uvas of Terra.
