The Garden of Écos

In this animated short, animals and plants are living peacefully together in a large garden until predators attack and ravage their habitat, stealing food and destroying plants. This creates an imbalance that leads to war. A fable that poetically describes how conflicts between 2 different groups in the same community can upset the natural balance of an ecosystem.
Directed by Co Hoedeman - 1997 | 10 min

Amazing animation and storyline. I actually got emotionally involved.

Dang, it's been a while since I've seen a animation that kids can watch that has a depressing ending.
