    Its a great late night movie and in my opinion its a animated masterpiece. It has a lot to say about society too. Has anyone seen it and if so what did you think of it?

    Yeah, it's an interesting curiosity, part science fiction,part fable from a time when sci-fi was about ideas rather then explosions. I consider it an interesting companion to John Boormans dystopian Zardoz (another 70's sci-fi curiosity) released a year later. Both are concerned with the macro-socioligical impact of technology and the politics of technology on the human animal. A theme that hasn't been really explored with any depth since Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy.

    Saw it at a screening a year or two ago.The late 60s/ 70s were a great time for thought provoking animated features like this.

    It's recent but I recommend Sylvain Chomet's animated movies. Belleville Rendez Vous and especially The Illusionist are fantastic.
