Yo Sheep,
Time Masters (Les Maitres Du Temps in french) for what I recall from my childhood is nice, but the soundtrack is not that good.
I remember a TV anime serie called "Les Mondes Engloutis" which is pretty on the same veine too, maybe by the same director/artist..
Are you talking about the David Cronenberg film from 83 w/ James Woods and Deborah Harry?
It is pretty whacked out! Its worth checking out
it was a good movie... really dug it. the soundtrack is nowhere near as fresh as fantastic planet. id recommend it.
id be interested to know of some more animated in the same vein as well
His best known short is called Harpya.
There's an animated short called Topor et Moi directed by softsex diva and a friend of Topor Sylvia Kristel which has some sequences in which Topor's drawings are animated.
but im guessing its some weirdo shit. so look up these dudes.
brothers quay
jan svankmajer
bolex brothers
these are mostly stop motion animation but the shit is seriously how they say "whacked"
Oh yeah, I dug the animatrix as well.
I was living across the street from a comic store when I was reading it. I bought the first two trades, read them in one sitting, ran back to the store and bought the next 5. Read the whole thing in 3 days.
I got the first trade janked by someone I lent it to (hence its missing from the picture), which has prevented me from lending it out. Something I recommend to anyone who is a fan of miyazaki and/or comics.

Ugh, just saw his newest film Lunacy. It's terrible. Only the animated parts are great although they are reworkings of the short he did for MTV.
Check out stuff by Trnka. His film The Hand is a must see.
co sig, had to read one for a class, then read about 4 more directly following.
additionally, i would reccomend the triplettes of belleville, as well as some stuff by topor's early collaborators, alejandro jodorowsky and fernando arrabal. cult epics recently released a box set of arrabal's stuff, ltd to 4000 copies, grab em now before they get too
good for a 5 year old? This is in the previews to all other Studio Ghibli releases and my kid has been begging me to watch it, but I don't know, the trailers look a bit too intense. More intense than Mononoke?
there's some freaky looking giant bug things in that flick. its not scary, but i dont know, kids might get nightmares off the freaky bug things.
how about totoro? this is by far my favorite miyazaki flick and is very kid friendly. or that kiki's delivery service is nice nice for the kids.
Freakin' RULE! they RULE!!!
yeah, i think that's the one, need to check it out.
Anyone seen Salad Fingers? That shit is wacked out in a delusional, psychotic, ether-huffing sort of way
i like al lthe miyazaki's... Porco Rosso is my personal fave.
watched Pom Poco last week... racoons who can change shape and also inflate their scrotums into giant balloons...
needs to be seen to be believed!!!!
only miyazaki movie where he didnt create / write the story
