    • Trivia
      One reason the coproduction took so long to complete is that in 1968 the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia which caused a delay.
    • Goofs
      (2016 remastered original, English subtitles.) According to Terr, one week in a Draag's life is as long as one Om (human) year. But he also says that his owner Tiwa (the Draag that raised Terr from infancy) loses interest in Terr "as she grew into her teens". By that time Terr would almost certainly be in his late middle years, at the very least -- yet Terr appears to be still no older than his twenties.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Draag child 1: It doesn't move.

      Draag child 2: What a shame we can't play with her any more.

    • Alternate versions
      In the German version, the humans aren't called "Oms", they are simply referred to as Menschen (humans) or Menschen-Tiere (human animals). Terr's name is also given a different origin. In both the original French and English versions, Tiwa names her pet Om Terr because his father says he behaves like a "real terror". In the German dub, Tiwa settles on the name after his father compares her pet to a struggling termite.

    It's about using your noodle.

    I saw this movie a few years ago on the Sci-Fi channel during a movie marathon they were having. Loved it so much I bought the DVD.

    Based on a brilliant piece of science fiction ("Oms En Serie" by Stefan Wul). The artwork is stunning, and the story line an original masterpiece.

    The plotline of this story is simple.

    You enslave a race of beings and take them for granted, one of them eventually learns your language, and unites all his fellow slaves in an organized attack.

    Suddenly you've been conquered.

    This story line was later ripped off by L. Ron Hubbard and his group of wackos. You might have read the book, or seen the atrocity of a film "Battlefield Earth".
