This animated tale follows the relationship between the small human-like Oms and their much larger blue-skinned oppressors, the Draags, who rule the planet of Ygam. While the Draags have long kept Oms as illiterate pets, this hierarchy shifts after an Om boy becomes educated, thanks to a young female Draag. This leads to an Om rebellion, which weakens the Draag control over their race. Will the Oms and the Draags find a way to coexist? Or will they destroy each other?
For a human being or a group of human beings, there's a lot of aliens around them - animals, birds, people of other classes who are inferior to them according to the social hierarchy, etc.
This is an animated feature film which shows all of that, in a way which is perfect to grasp.
Re-watching again and again will reveal more and more layers of subtext.
This film will be great to know how animation was back in early 70s. Every frame looks just like a pure hand-drawn picture - how it was back then.
A must watch. Eye opener.
