"I don’t like it because it pretends that animals have emotions."

Actually, emotions is one thing animals do have (often the way they're expressed is different from the way the same emotion is expressed by a human being; hence - we can't emotionally read some of the stuff, that's why we often anthropomorphise animals in art, etc.), it's sometimes missing in humans, though. Oh, and... never heard of animals being depressed? You haven't done your research then - http://www.biopsychiatry.com/animals.htm

However, if you mean that the anthropomorphisation of animals in the video is a bit too sentimental, I do agree with you. It seems manipulative. I don't see a link between climate and depression. With the "if you give up, they give up" line left out it'd make a nice subtext of homo sapiens unnaturaly performing global suicide. But now it's just sentimental...

One way or another it does make a point.
Yet I find the bare statistics much more scarier and disturbing.

oh man oh man oh man. this is such an insane video. it's hard to take seriously. What were the writers/creators of this short thinking!? Haha so ridiculous.

I don't like this film. Not because it's not pretty or because it's too disturbing. I don't like it because it pretends that animals have emotions. And it reproduces the old stupid idea that cute animals are the ones we should worry about.

Sorry.

Ooh... I saw this on MyToons. Yep, pretty disturbing - the part with the kangaroo and the train really got me.

All the animals wouldn't commit suicide
if there really was global warming. They
would just kill all the cows for farting
so much (too much methane in the atmosphere - Ha ha ha!)

The animation is top notch. But the concept isn't really new so it will be hard to stay in people's mind.

This actually made me feel bad... Beautiful movie, really short, extremely depressing, perfect.

yikes, that was depressing and rightfully so
