A soft sci-fi hand-drawn cartoon co-published by Czechoslovakia and France. The concept of transcending the times and the idea of equal progress make this cartoon not out of date even after more than 40 years. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that these whimsical creatures are likely to be the product of another evolution. Perhaps the mind of the painter has never been troubled by rigid natural education and biological evolution theory, which is why this mysterious and spectacular cartoon is created. There are too many strange details such as genetic structure and majestic metaphors of biological evolution. This is not just a carefully created animation, this is a complete world at all.
In a certain era, on this great planet, there were many kinds of creatures, including planetary beasts with the most advanced thinking, technology, and body shape, and human beasts with primitive, backward, and body shapes most similar to humans. The highly developed civilization of planetary beasts determines the prosperity and demise of other creatures on this planet. Human beasts are not only their pets, but also the pests they want to eliminate. A newly born human beast was adopted as a pet by an equally young planet beast. When the human beast gained knowledge through the planet beast's learning equipment and had his own mind, he successfully escaped and helped his clan to defeat the planet beast. .
From the artist's point of view, the small contrast between human beasts and planetary beasts makes them look like insects. Guaranteed not to be exterminated. At the beginning of the animation, when the planetary beast put on the "knowledge collar", there was a description of human civilization. Scarecrows, broken walls, abandoned cars, collapsed giant statues and other things appeared in the picture, which means that the planetary beast is actually It is a civilization established after the elimination of human beings, and the remaining human beings have to learn from the primitive civilization because of the gap in knowledge.
This collar, which can be activated by itself as long as it is touched, the reason why I call it a "knowledge collar" rather than a "wisdom collar" is that its essence is to mechanize the existing knowledge to the audience, rather than to guide the broad and profound thoughts. to his students. Although the humans who have obtained the collar have obtained the science and technology to defeat the planetary beast, it does not mean that the victory based on revenge and fear is equivalent to a higher civilization. This open collar also means the continuous influx of knowledge, updating and elimination, but the human beast's appearance of ignoring emotions is not much smarter than the planetary beast. An interesting plot, when a young child accidentally touches a collar that is teaching knowledge to a group of people, the collar is turned off, and the group of people neatly glares at the young child until he touches it again to turn it on. Its rigid and tidy posture is very straight-forward like a student under the education system. Of course, only this wave of human beings whose thirst for knowledge has conquered everything can reach the pinnacle of the mystery of knowledge.
A slave who escaped from the planetary beast wants to lead the human beast to the road of "learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians", and the revolution in the human beast world is also written in blood. The traitor in the planet beast pet and the heresy in the human beast can only be left after brutal elimination and transformation. In the war between the planetary beast and the human beast, the backward and jealous leader of the human beast was killed, the hero's idea of changing his fate with knowledge was recognized, and the human beast who endured humiliation used technology to block the reproduction of the planetary beast.
And the human beast and the planet beast are equal, or did they just use force to prove their indestructibility? The planetary beast is holding the lizard and listening to the knowledge in the knowledge collar. Does it mean that the next species that absorbs knowledge will also rise to form a "three-legged confrontation"? Under the premise of having nothing to do with environmental protection and resources, etc., what is the difference between our behavior of eliminating insects and promoting the extinction of other species and planetary beasts? Like two opposing races in a ring, they have evolved technology to new heights in constant struggle, but each other is firmly imprisoned in this ring.
In the process of refusing to treat other creatures as equals, a series of twisted and cruel games of cockfighting, cricket-fighting, dog-fighting, and even man-fighting emerged. Human life is not worth cherishing under the inertial drive of other life being regarded as a mustard. Life has achieved a strange and great equality under this absurd evolution. If the war between races based on desire and prejudice is not considered too emotional, in fact, the earth is beautiful in any form, and its self-healing ability and creative ability exceed the most magnificent imagination of any self-proclaimed high-level creature.
Although the style of the film is colorful and bright, in fact, most of the pictures are composed of dark colors, giving people an indescribable gloomy feeling, and the colors are also a clever metaphor for devouring life and reorganizing genes. A bat with a face that looks like a pig's beak but a penis can end up just by its looks, a plant that takes pleasure in catching and then smashing goldfish and flies, has a worrisome taste, and a planet full of diamonds that just needs to whistle. The fish that can smash diamonds, vomit when they drink too much, use their bubbles to knit you unceremonious jerseys... it's almost like the adventurous and unattainable people created hundreds of years ago. The fantasy story makes people seem to see the crazy world that the primitive ancestors experienced thousands of years ago. It is unimaginable how interesting a person's brain must be to draw so many strange and cute creatures.
