    Hey,
    Was watching a movie in a bar last night which looked really interesting, but I kept falling asleep so I had to go! (it was late and I was drunk:o).

    I'm pretty sure it was a French animation, dubbed in English. By the music, it sounded like it was from the 70's.

    It was about giant human-like aliens with big red eyes that held humans captive for their amusement, as pets. The aliens would call the humans "Ohms" or something.

    The humans were tiny in comparison and could be held in the hands of the aliens. The aliens would talk in really soft voices to each other.

    I got about half way through but had to drag myself out of there!

    Thanks

    Do you know the channel it was on? If so check the TV listings.

    An Inconvenient truth tbh.

    Germany, Berlin. The movie was quite surreal, the first scene is of a woman desperately clambering over rocks carrying a little baby, trying to escape from one of the aliens who was playing with her as we would a spider or something. She drops the baby, and is picked up and killed by the alien and then the alien 'adopts' the baby, who is then the main protagonist and narrator.
