Stranger yet, as a child I used to watch a program on USA called Night Flight. They showed lots of Avant Garde stuff. The strangest thing I ever saw on it was this odd French animation entitled Fantastic Planet. That is a weird old film. They showed it on Channel 4 a while back in one of those ungodly-hour-of-the-morning slots they reserve for wacky stuff. Speaking of which, they showed "The Wings of Honneamise" on BBC2 the other night, for all those manga/anime fans out there who have any idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, "Fantastic Planet": the wee bloke's attempts to escape from his kindly but mildly bratty alien owner are engrossing. That tracking-device
collar is scary too. > I still haven't seen it a second time. It's very similar-looking to > Light Years, which I saw back then as well.

In the wider animation genre "The Secret of Nimh" has to rank up there pretty high too. > (it puts everything Disney has done to shame), Nausicaa. >>>>>> > The same director also did a wonderful > piece called Laputa: Castle in the Sky, What, Laputa as in "Gulliver's Travels"? Gosh, how literary.
