Time Masters

About This Movie

Time Masters, directed by René Laloux, is quite an atmospheric piece. The animation has a unique, almost surreal style that pulls you into the bizarre world of Perdide. It’s not just an adventure; it dives into themes of survival, friendship, and the weight of choice. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, but it oddly complements the chaotic adventures of Piel and Jaffar. The practical effects, especially for the hornet attacks, lend a tangible menace to the otherwise whimsical visuals. The characters, particularly Matton and Silbad, have their own layers, which adds depth amidst the vibrant backdrops. It’s distinctive, a blend of storytelling and art that really sets it apart from typical animated fare.
