piece of trash
13 February 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I saw this as part of special presentation of all the Oscar nominees(plus some titles that didn't make the cut but were still "well commended) in this category. This is probably the worst cartoon in the bunch. I assume that it was nominated mainly due to its liberal slant. Centuries of human civilization are belittled as nothing more than a bunch of pollution. Corporations are similarly maligned as polluters. Seem fairly black and white for an ideology that so often loves to dwell on the "grayness" of things. What about the civilized people and the corporations who help make movies like this? Are they nothing but polluters too? What do the makers of this movie want? Should everyone just go live in a cave or something? I really hope this doesn't win. Conserve your own resources-financial or otherwise- but not seeing this garbage.
