TIME MASTERS - Official 4K Restoration Trailer

[@NukeOTron]

Fascinating art style. Then again, it was the '80s and Moebius, so of course it's fascinating.

[@BarryWarne]

was gonna say this reminds me of Heavy Metal …. Both the magazine and the movie

[@TheMakerHimselfs]

May i ask if this animated movie have ghibli or any Japanese anime studio involvement in it ? Thank you

[@NukeOTron]

@@TheMakerHimselfs Personally, I'm wondering that myself. Moebius has had influence (and possibly a hand) in anime, like Dragon's Heaven and Little Nemo.

[@TheMakerHimselfs]

@@NukeOTron yes,the animation style and fluidity really resemble old Ghibli movie a lot❤️

I saw it forty years ago in a cinema in Hungary. A beautiful and sad work that was produced in Hungary at Pannónia Stúdió IV - of course a completely hand-drawn film. It was released as a comic and later on DVD.

[@lumlum6741]

Je me souviens il y a 40 ans arrivée en suisse. Il l’ont passé sur TF1. Un chef d’œuvre! Merci

[@Bopflix]

I saw this as a kid in the UK in the 80s - I guess it was a dub. It was like a fever dream and I spent decades trying to figure out what it was with a vague recollection of the very weird plot and setting. Finally rediscovered it a few years back. Recently watching Scavengers Reign took me right back to it, must have been an influence.

[@pummeluff230]

Just to let you know this happend to many kids. All over the world. Remembering it like a fever dream, looking for it and then finding posts on the web from others to finally find the name. As if this movie had a sidequest build in.

Same here, german TV in the 80s.

@@mojonoodle amazing. It was in my mind vividly. I’m surprised how well I remembered it.

[@matthewarmitage711]

I saw this when i was a kid in 80's in Hungary. I liked a lot a story and animation but this movie has alot of meanings what i understood as an adult. 2nd shock! Recommended af.

[@atlanteum]

In either December of 73 or possibly early 74, a 9 year old kid went into a theater to watch Fantastic Planet. The kid who went in was not the same creature who came out, and the incredible imagination packed into that film reverberates for me to this day. Imagine, then, my surprise to discover The Time Masters, now, in 2024 - a film I had never even heard of until five minutes ago... and I work in animation [go figure!]. While it looks stylistically and tonally very different from Fantastic Planet, I can't wait to snag a copy of this on Blu-Ray.
