From Romanian animators Mircea Toia and Călin Cazan, the team behind DELTA SPACE MISSION, THE SON OF THE STARS is an even more wildly ambitious and surreal outer space adventure, a mid-1980s mash-up of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, ALIEN and Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan. In the year 6470, a husband and wife team of explorers receive a mysterious distress signal from a female astronaut who disappeared decades earlier. They leave their son, Dan, on board their ship while they go searching for the missing woman -- but fate intervenes, crash-landing the ship on a jungle-like planet populated by bulbous, telekinetic aliens and eerie stone gardens of frozen space creatures.
