Animals Save the Planet

Directed by

Animals Save the Planet is an innovative series of animated shorts that chronicle the lives of cute little animals living an eco-friendly lifestyle. Produced for "Animal Planet" by Aardman Animations, the Oscar-winning studio for Wallace & Gromit, Animals Save the Planet is a collection of eleven films created using innovative clay animation, ranging in length from 20 to 40 seconds. The animals, in their natural habitats, demonstrate how everyone can make a difference by adopting a greener lifestyle. As humans continue to damage the environment, viewers will see their favorite characters offer helpful tips for living a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
