[Solved!] Looking for the name of a surreal sci-fi movie similar in art style I believe to Fantastic Planet. I recall a bunch of scientists in some kind of airship. (leminal.space)

Not really much to go off of here. I feel like I recall some kind of upper class manor/hotel/castle at the start of the movie and some kind of change occurring. Maybe some kind of social revolution or people mutating. I recall an airship with some kind of scientists on board. I think the protagonist was a woman possibly looking for her son.

I say it's like Fantastic Planet but it might not be fully animated. It could be something a long the lines of human actors with heavy amounts of CG or just very out there sets.

Solved: It was The Congress (2013). A bit harder to find because not all of the movie is animated. The change I mentioned was about 1/3 into the movie after the transition to animation.

First thing that comes to mind is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Angelina Jolie also starred in another movie called Changeling where she's looking for her son. I wonder if you're combining the two movies together?

It was The Congress. There are airships and people mutating into birds.

Heavy Metal (1981) is often compared to Fantastic Planet. There's no son, but lots of the other things you listed match.
