People go to the zoo and they like the lion because it's scary. But the monkey makes people laugh.

Tiki Tiki (1971, 1hr 11min)
Directed by Gerald Potterton and Jack Stokes
This is truly the product of an era when artists and the general public were keen to push back against the mainstream.
Celebrated animator Gerald Potterton (who contributed to Yellow Submarine and later directed Heavy Metal) combines an animated tale with repurposed footage from the Soviet fantasy Aybolit-66. A counterculture hidden gem, Tiki Tiki is definitely one of a kind.
Presented with Canadian International Pictures.
Fantadroms (1984-1995)
Directed by Ansis Bērziņš
Follow along as robo-cats, farm animals, pink blobs and astronauts tumble through a surreal and colourful cosmic playground. Across 13 dialogue-free episodes, their adventures play out in a world of galactic games, food fiascos, and outer-space encounters. Too bizarre for American children (or so Streamline Pictures allegedly decided in the early ’90s), Fantadroms remains a cult favourite in Latvian animation.
Science Fiction Starter Pack
If you're looking to get a little spacey before the onslaught of horror that October brings, this starter pack provides five great choices from the annals of media-bound space exploration: a colorful animated adventure, a dark look at the end of society on Earth, an unfinished opus shut down by the government, a mod Original Series Star Trek-style space adventure, and an alien visitation story.
