La Prisonnière est un court métrage d'animation fantastique français réalisé par René Laloux et Philippe Caza en 1985, sur des dessins de Caza.
Synopsis
Une voix off accompagne le début du film, en expliquant que deux enfants, un garçon et une fille, ont fui leur pays et parviennent dans une cité dont tous les habitants sont des gardiens du silence. La suite du film ne comprend aucun dialogue. Les enfants sont contraints de se taire et doivent porter des bouchons d'oreilles. De temps à autre, ils parviennent à échapper à la surveillance de leurs gardiens et à aller sur les remparts pour écouter le bruit de la mer. Un jour, les pêcheurs capturent une baleine qu'ils traînent jusque dans la cour du château. La nuit venue, des femmes en sortent. Elles font déferler l'océan sur le château, dont elles ont ouvert la porte, et le château est englouti. Les enfants échappent à l'engloutissement et s'éloignent sur un navire.Comments

L'histoire se déroule dans la Chine médiévale. Enfermé dans le chariot qui l'emmène au palais de l'empereur en compagnie de son maître Wang-Fô, le jeune disciple se souvient de sa première rencontre avec le peintre, puis de la fascination progressive qu'il a éprouvé pour ses tableaux : lorsque Wang-Fô peignit plusieurs portraits de l'épouse du disciple, ce dernier en vint à trouver les portraits plus beaux que son épouse réelle, au point qu'elle finit par se donner la mort. Après ces flashbacks, Wang-Fô et son disciple parviennent au palais et sont amenés devant l'empereur. Wang-Fô implore l'empereur de le pardonner s'il a, d'aventure, réalisé un mauvais portrait de lui par le passé. L'empereur le détrompe, et, pour lui faire comprendre ce qu'il lui reproche, lui raconte son histoire. Dès son enfance, l'empereur vit seul au palais, parmi les tableaux de Wang-Fô dont son père était un admirateur. Après de longues années à grandir parmi les sublimes tableaux du maître, l'empereur, parvenu à l'âge adulte, découvre pour la première fois le monde réel, mais celui-ci lui paraît laid et méprisable comparé aux images qu'en peignait Wang-Fô. C'est là ce que l'empereur reproche au peintre : Wang-Fô lui a inspiré le dégoût de son propre royaume, et le désir d'un royaume d'images sur lequel il ne pourra jamais régner.

In the distant future, the gargantuan blue humanoid Draags have brought human beings (who are called Oms as a play on the French word for "man", Homme) from Earth to the planet Ygam, where they maintain a technologically and spiritually advanced society. They consider them animals, and while some Oms are kept as pets by Draags, others live in the strange wilderness and are periodically slaughtered by the Draags who wish to keep their population controlled. Draags have much longer lifespans than Oms, but reproduce much less.

Centuries ago, the Amazons, a proud and fierce race of warrior women, led by their Queen, Hippolyta (voiced by Virginia Madsen), battled Ares (voiced by Alfred Molina), the god of war, and his army. During the battle, Hippolyta beheaded her son, Thrax (voiced by Jason Miller), whom Ares forcibly conceived with her, who is fighting for his father. Hippolyta then defeated Ares, but Zeus (voiced by David McCallum) stopped her from delivering the death strike. Instead, Hera (voiced by Marg Helgenberger) bound his powers with magic bracers so that he was deprived of his ability to draw power from the aura of violence and death he could instigate, effectively rendering him mortal, and only another god could release him. In compensation, the Amazons were granted the island of Themyscira, where they would remain eternally youthful and isolated from Man in the course of their duty of holding Ares prisoner for all eternity. Later, Hippolyta was granted a daughter, Princess Diana (voiced by Keri Russell), whom she shaped from the sand of the Themyscirian seashore and gave life with her own blood.

Troubled by a strange recurring dream and mourning the loss of her beloved father, nineteen-year-old Alice Kingsleigh attends a garden party at Lord Ascot's estate, where she is confronted by an unwanted marriage proposal, to Hamish Ascot, and the stifling expectations of the society in which she lives. Unsure of how to reply, she pursues a rabbit in a blue waistcoat, and accidentally falls into a large rabbit hole, from which she emerges in a forest, where she is greeted by the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, the Dodo, the Talking Flowers, and Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They argue over her identity as "the right Alice", who must slay the Red Queen's Jabberwocky and restore the White Queen to power, as foretold by Absolem the Caterpillar. The group is then ambushed by the Bandersnatch and a group of playing-card soldiers led by the Knave of Hearts. Alice, Tweedledum and Tweedledee escape into the woods, while the Knave steals the Caterpillar's scroll and the Dormouse leaves the others, with one of the Bandersnatch's eyes. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are then captured by the Red Queen's Jubjub Bird.
