a true masterpiece indeed.

Yes, "Light Years" looked really great like most of his work, but the visuals of "Time Masters" was the closest to my heart, because I was only 9 years old when I saw it in the movies. The inprint/experience was very deep (wathcing TV or movies was not a common thing for me).
I think I will never forget the style. Iirc, his shades and the shapes formed my dreams for months, but they certain did for several weeks at least. He was really gifted, me thinks.

I watched Light Years when I was young, and Time Masters in my teens. I think Light years is the film that has the deepest impact because of what you mention

Sadly, I only saw Light Years at the first time when I was an adult:(

RIP

One of the great comic artists of our time. My fave French one, alongside Enki Bilal.

If there ever would've been a graphic novel version of Dune, Moebius would've been the perfect illustrator for it.

He also inspired Neuromancer one of my favorite book ever, and also the movie Bladerunner, which I really like.

Time Masters is fucking awesome! Must see!

I just watched it yesterday again:)

While the story feels a little simple now, it's understandable because the children were the target audience, and I still enjoyed it a lot tbh (perhaps because of the the good memories).
The visual style is truly remarkable indeed. Every new area and every new creature is full of imagination.

I was 8 when i saw it the first time and just like with you it made a huge impression on me. One of the most inspiring sci-fi i have ever seen. Maybe cause i was a kid back than.

I go and watch it again.

While it's clear that they did not have the money to hire 200 "slaves" for the animation department, - but apart from that - it won't disappoint:)
