What once was just imagination is now real; what was once the distant future is now around the corner. The "Science Fiction" of the past has now simply become "Science". And the science of the future was strangely prophesied by a group of visionaries whose dreams once may have deemed them renegades and "mad scientists," have become reality! In 1950, the term "Robotics" was coined by author Isaac Asimov in his book I.ROBOT — and our collective imagination reeled.

Genre : Animation, Science Fiction, Aventure

Les Maîtres du temps est un film d'animation réalisé par René Laloux sur des dessins de Moebius, sorti en 1982 et inspiré du roman de science-fiction L'Orphelin de Perdide de Stefan Wul.

Peu connu en France, les Maîtres du temps a en revanche connu un relatif succès aux États-Unis. Il s'agit d'un space opera empreint de mystère et de poésie.

Transposant à l'écran le roman de Wul, René Laloux et Moebius ont amplifié les références aux contes de fées, le petit Piel perdu dans la forêt écrasante des Dolongues devenant une sorte de Petit Poucet dont le seul lien avec la vie est désormais le micro, nommé Mike, que lui a légué son père. Face à lui, Jaffar l'aventurier, Belle la princesse et Silbad le vieux baroudeur constituent de bons génies qui le guident à travers la forêt, alors que le prince Matton, lui, essaie de le noyer…

La Planète sauvage
(UP) Audio French MP3 - 135 kbits | 01:08:46 | 640x366 | PAL (25fps) | 738 MB | XViD
Genre : Animation, Science Fiction, Aventure

La Planète sauvage est un film d'animation de science-fiction réalisé en 1973 par René Laloux sur un scénario écrit par René Laloux et Roland Topor d'après le roman Oms en série de Stefan Wul et coproduit par Les films Armorial (Paris), Le Service de la recherche ORTF (Paris) et le Československý Filmexport (Prague).
Les images du film sont créées à partir des dessins de Roland Topor dans les Studios d'Animation Jiří Trnka de Krátký Film à Prague.
Il obtient le Prix Spécial du jury à Cannes en 1973 et un Prix Saint-Michel à Bruxelles en 1974.
L'animation de La Planète sauvage est à base de découpages. Il s'agit du premier long métrage d'animation tourné par un réalisateur français (après les trois premiers courts métrages de Laloux : Les dents du singe en 1960, Les temps morts en 1964 et Les escargots en 1965) et d'une adaptation à la fois fidèle et poétique du roman de Stefan Wul.
Ceux qui ont vécu la sortie de ce film d'une grande poésie s'en souviennent comme d'un défi lancé aux cartoons américains, mais aussi comme un des premiers films d'animation adulte de l'époque. Représentant des humains ravalés au rang d'animaux domestiques des gigantesques Draags, Laloux met en scène une réflexion sur l'intelligence, la société, la politique et finalement sur la nature même de l'humanité
