Prompt 2- Marcelle

One of my favorite movies is “Fantastic Planet” This 1970s sci-fi film with amazing world building and eye catching animation. We watch a planet sometime in the future; rabid animals unlike anything you can imagine roam free hunting and eating each-other connected by this beautiful setting filled with wild almost sentient plants. The film plays on themes of: slavery, animal cruelty, the connection between the fear and stigma of education within lower-class communities, corrupt or ill informed government officials and the impact on everyone they lead-all within an hour and 12 min movie about this little alien girl, her human pet, and “government official” father.

Fantastic Planet (French: La Planète sauvage; Czech: Divot planeta, lit. ’The Wild Planet’) is a 1973 French-language experimental independent adult animated science fiction art film, directed by René Laloux and written by Laloux and Roland Topor, the latter of whom also completed the film’s production design.

Prompt 2 – Genaro Sotomayor

One of my favorite movies is “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” This film is a prime example of how 2D animation techniques can be blended with live-action performances, making it one of the best-animated films in American history. The animation quality is exceptional; the cartoon characters feel like they truly exist in the real world. Remarkably, this film features a unique moment where Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Donald Duck appear together.

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” won Academy Awards for film editing, sound effects editing, and visual effects. The animation director, Richard Williams, is a three-time Academy Award winner, while the legendary voice actor Mel Blanc provided the voices for both Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The movie was released on June 22, 1988, and was produced by Disney’s Touchstone Pictures.
