I thought of one of the Ghibli series movie when I first saw this video.
I do not know if I am right but I have a feeling that the main character of this video was a creature that looked similar to Willie. The Willie-like creatures lived at a place with nature. However, the other Willie-like creatures destroyed the nature and built a metropolis instead. The natures, especially the plants lost their place to live. Since the main character probably wanted to save the nature, he took away one of the stems from the tree and took care of it at home.
Then, a creature (probably the varmints) grew along with the plants. The fully grown varmints saved the Willie-like creatures from the eroding town.
The main character represented for hope and bravery. Although some people might not agree, the message of this movie is that the good will always return.
