Varmints

Summary: 

The story is about a small creature trying to preserve nature from urbanisation and recklessness. Thoroughout the film, it showed the characters' indifference to others and nature.


Reaction:

This film emphasised on the consequences of industrialisation and deforestation. For instance, toxic gas and animals/civilians becoming sick and dying.

I have two interpretations about the jellyfish.

The first one is that the jellyfish represents heaven, and the animals are dead. Inside the jellyfish, it is bright, fillled with nature, looks warm, and it simply looks like what people imagine how heaven is like. After the protagonist gets taken by the jellyfish, he looks down the city from above. He also was able to meet his crush again. The dandelion seeds from the jellyfish could represent reincarnation or new generation of animals because seeds=new life.

The second is that the jellyfish represents nature conservation organisations like the WWF, and the animals are taken to a much healthier environment. At the very end of the film, the jellyfish emit dandelion seeds into the city. This could represent the actions by the nature conservation organistions, environmentalists, and animal-rights activists, etc.
