I just got finished watching one of thee most coolest and the most awkward animated films in the history of animated films. It's called "Fantastic Planet" or "La Planet Sauvage"

While watching it I got the idea in my head that it'd be cool if a NiGHTS game was as surreal as this movie. Some say the movie was "creepy" but I didn't think so. I think it would be an interesting take on the Nightmare part of the dream world. I've always loved the surrealistic features in NiGHTS games and that's what I love about the series but this movie just seemed to have stepped up my view of surrealism on a whole new level.

To see what I'm talking about if you have never heard of this film I've provided a few links:


The trailer:

Ugh, how could you watch that creepy strange movie... I'll bet it was my fault for posting it in the archive of WEIRD thread. D:

Yeah that's how I saw the trailer from your link. At first I was just confused but not afraid. I'm not as scared of things as I used to be. Akira scared me and that was the last animated movie that ever scared me.

Yeah, I've seen that. WEIRD, man. WEIRD. And this is from MY standards. Damn, that movie scared the bejeezus out of me and I've no idea WHY.

I'm sure Fantastic Planet wouldn't scare me now like it did when I was a little girl. I mean, everything scared me when I was little, but one of my worst fears was aliens. Hence why that particular movie creeps me out.

But I see Nightmare as more of a different sort of surreal place... Idk...

But if I happened to wander into Nightmare I may just find a gigantic blue alien there anyways...

2 words, ******* messed! ******* messed! When teletoon 1st aired in canada it was a pure cartoon channel (i was about 10 maybe). For SOME reason at a reasonable hour they played that movie! I watched, i was confsued, i cried, i ate pizza, i cried more and i went to bed. Don't know why I cried, i wasn't sad, more disturbed and stunned it was all i could do. And why did i keep watching it? I dunno.

Hmm... I've never actually seen this movie just the trailer at first I thought it was some kinda weird messed up movie from a messed up mind but I suppose I can't judge till I've seen it... I'll watch it when I have time and I'll post my response to it...

hmmm, I've just watched the trailer, and I don't think that that's right for NiGHTS. If you really want to increase the weirdness of NiGHTS, I think it would be better to take insparation from Rez, but you could've guessed that based on my avatar.

I laugh in the face of semi-poor animation quality. This is nothing compared to Giygas.

Ok, now that I've seen the whole think, I find the ending somewhat disappointing. Kinda like a Gianax ending without the ambiguity. But now I know where the plot from Battlefield Earth comes from.

And the whole movie is a major downer, with it's muted colors and massive body count. And as for being surreal, there wasn't really that much surreal stuff, at least not since Star Trek. NiGHTS seems way to light hearted for this brand of surrealism. My favorite kind?

E: come to think of it, NiGHTS into Dreams... (NOT JoD) was pretty surreal already. The 3D stuff was meant to blend strait into the background, making it hard to keep your barrings. Very dreamlike.
