    An excellent satirical outtake on society and animal rights. The film sees a world of reversed control where humans (Om) are subservient pets to the planet's native alpha species, the Draag.

    For a film that talks about racial equality this film fails to even hide its own racism. We are given an almost perfect black man as the protagonist (which sets the standard of acceptability for Black people in a white gaze), the supporting character of Miss Tillie is the most racist element of this film, a stereotypical mammy character (it's giving Sam Jackson in Django Unchained).
