This was one of the only marathons where I felt kinda bad about taking a nap, which is strange because it's the one where all the content is still available so I can go back and catch up on the stuff I slept through. But I was glad to get that sleep, no doubt about it.

One thing I've been struggling with over FANTASTIC PLANET is the banal cruelty of child Tiwa towards baby Terr, whose pained facial expressions every time he gets collar-dragged or food dumped on him contrast so sharply with Tiwa's bland, vacant, eerie smile. Children can be obliviously cruel to small animals (usually, hopefully, they learn some empathy and compassion) and boy was that point driven home hard to me. Terr's facial expressions really disturbed me. The film did a good job.
