Varmints



Summary:
The short animation Varmints from year 2008 by Studio AKA is about the destruction of nature  through urbanization.
Rabbit like creature's living environment which is rich in beautiful nature, is destroyed when a big  city is build there. Luckily,  the creature had the chance to rescue a little green plant before the surrounding nature was destroyed. Having no other place to live, the creature works in the new built city like the others. With time passing by, it gets more and more sick due to pollution caused by the urbanization. One day however, the creature's plant   evolves and seeds become gigantic jellyfish like spaceships with vast nature inside. Soon the creature and many other migrate there to live in nature again. 

My opinion:
This video has a very important message about human impact on nature. Human are destroying nature in extreme and also the life of animals.I liked how this kind of extreme negative influence was illustrated through color contrast. The nature is illustrated with abundant colors and beautiful graphics , on the contrary the city is dark and monotonous. The creatures in the animation had human like features like going to work or living in the city. I think these animals are representing human since both are living creatures of the earth and dependent on nature. So, the message might be that human destroy their own living environment but there are some who try to save it like the one creature. It is important to  restore nature but as one could see at the end of the animation, once nature is destroyrd it cant be revived( dust and ashes of the destroyed city remain)
