story identification - Old animated film with bald blue people




  • What is it? An animated movie, full length (I think)

  • What it isn't: It's not La Planète sauvage/Fantastic planet and it's not Gandahar

  • What made it memorable: Animation was very trippy (at least in my memory) and main protagonist was a child with blue skin and bald head.

  • When and where did you see this film?: Late 80's, early 90's. I saw it in the cinema, so I guess it must be a full length film but in that time and in my country they could actually be showing several glued together episodes of a TV-series.

  • Other details:


I went to the cinema with a babysitter who knew French. She translated the title to me roughly as "Lue, child of Earth" (although I'm not sure that it was written in French, she didn't know English and could have read that in French by mistake). I was able to find this French TV-show called Blue, Child of the Earth/Bleu, l'enfant de la Terre which looks painfully close apart from it being a TV-series and not a full length movie. And not actually having any child, at least, not in the first episode.


I also think that the movie started with a child being born in the core of a planet.


Movie was dubbed in Russian and I sort of remember something that the main villain (?) was saying about "отбойные барабаны", some mixture of jack-hammer and musical drum.


I'm sorry for being so vague, I'm pretty sure that my memory is hazy and I'm mixing different things into one.




Answer



Bleu, l'Enfant de la Terre


Bleu, l'enfant de la Terre (Blue Child of the Earth) was a 1986 French animated series that ran for thirteen episodes. For cinema showing, the last 4 episodes were usually recut as one feature length movie.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
