This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster for Time Masters (Les Maîtres du temps / 時の支配者), René Laloux’s cult science-fiction animation with designs by Moebius (Jean “Moebius” Giraud). Produced in 1982, the film’s first Japanese theatrical release is recorded as 22 September 1983, with a later revival release on 20 January 2001 handled by Cable Hogue—and this poster matches the Cable Hogue-handled campaign (the distributor name is printed on the sheet).
Design
A superb, graphic B2 that leans into the film’s bande dessinée DNA: the bold French title LES MAÎTRES DU TEMPS dominates the centre, paired with the Japanese title 「時の支配者」 beneath. The imagery is pure Moebius-era space fantasy—strange planetary forms, drifting cosmic debris, and a stylised sci-fi “set” perspective that feels like a comic panel expanded to cinema scale. The credits on the sheet spotlight René Laloux and Moebius, making this a highly displayable piece of European/Japanese animation crossover ephemera.
