Simply fantastic..........2006-09-09
I have been awaiting the release of this dvd ever since seeing Neil in concert earlier in the year.
It's amazing to be able to see the real passion and commintment that Neil puts into this performance, showing a genuine love for the music and standing on stage performing his own creations. The dvd is made a whole lot better by the guest appearance of Tony Christie for a one-off duet of Amarillo along with a special surprise presentation to Neil himself.
All of the wonderful hits that Neil has rolled out over the years can be found on this dvd, and whilst I admit he's not as youthful looking as he once was, his voice and his piano playing are better than ever!

Psychedelic animation.......2008-01-04
I remember this movie when I was a child, then I felt that it was too depressing to watch. Now after many years it's nice to see it again. The movie is very melancholy but still amazing.
The movie itself is 10+ but the quality of the DVD is terrible. The FORMAT IS NTSC not pal I had to watch it with my computer. The (USA)english dub track was interesting to hear, but I prefer the french audio track more. Nice bonus was the soundtrack on the DVD.
Animated genius!.......2006-09-02
Fantastic Planet is a creature very much of its time ie 1973. It is an animated film for adults which, like its contemporary 2001: A Space Oddysey, is a 'trip' as much as a movie. It was surely created with the help of hallucinogens and many would argue that it is best viewed under such circumstances, as it undoubtedly would have been by much of the original audience.
The movie also speaks to a radicalised generation. Despite its quite literally 'fantastic' setting it is very much about revolution. Don't forget that Paris had been in flames in 1968 during the student uprising and Hippy culture still prevailed per se.
The designs for the movie are amazing and the dubbing surprisingly good for a change if that is how you wish to view it. Whilst the animation itself may seem tiresomely primitive to those brought up on CGI, for me it is a reminder of a more intelligent age - Miyazake excepted -when the animated movie could also have soul.
