Giant Snails!

This is probably the only film ever made about an invasion of Paris [well, some French city or other] by rampaging giant snails! A farmer cries!  The population flees, screaming! Bare-breasted women run, screaming! It’s all rather cute and delicately meaningful. Very French.

Les Escargots [aka The Snails] (France-1965; animated short; dir. René Laloux).

And it’s got giant rabbits, too!

    Surely there must be a ‘Night of the Lepus’-style movie out there with snails sliming all over scale models of cities? I feel its B-grade lack in my life…

    Not that I know of. You’d think it was obvious though. Giant snails might lack something in ferocity, but they would make for an awesome sight.
