Does Anyone Know??
Back in the 70's (I think), there was an amimated short movie about a planet, a young boy, his father and it was absolutely superb. I remember an "orb" was in it. Does anyone know which short/movie this was. It was shown on television in Canada. Thank you.

Are you thinking of The Point http://www.uk.imdb.com/title/tt0067595/, which had music by Harry Nilsson and featured the voices of Ringo Starr and Dustin Hoffman? It's the first one that sprang to mind.
Re: Does Anyone Know??
thank you, but it's not The Point. Very similar, it could have been from the late 60's as well. A phenomonal
sci fi fantasy animation, I only saw once, but have never been able to get out of my head. Is there a web site
that can direct me to sci fi fantasy shorts/animations? so I can search from the 60's or 70's or perhaps it's
not listed anywhere
Again, planets, a father (maybe a king) and a son.
Thank you.

Then maybe it is La Planete Sauvage (AKA Fantastic Planet) by René Laloux. http://www.uk.imdb.com/title/tt0070544/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Planet

Re: Does Anyone Know??
Glad to be of help. You can get it from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/red ... B000FOT6YM. And don't be shy about visiting the forum or the main site. We try to keep it as up-to-date as possible and of course there are all those fabulous competitions, not to mention the movies over on sci-fi-london.tv. Hope to see you at the Festival in May.
