Let's Pollute (2009)
4/10
Good premise, unconvincing execution

"Let's Pollute" is a short film from 6 years ago and it got a Best Animated Short Film nomination at the Academy Awards. You can watch perceive this film from two different angles. The first would be the educational value. "Oppositism" combined with heavy exaggeration can be a good way to deliver a message. Sadly, this message was not displayed particularly convincing in my opinion, even if it was a good message that makes totally sense. The concept I just mentioned is also used frequently in comedy. And so it is here. however, here I wasn't convinced either. I did not have one moment where I had to really smile or even laugh while watching these 7 minutes. So as a whole I have to say Geefwee Boedoe's film fell flat for me personally. The animation is obviously a parody of older educational films, but I did not find it too appealing either. This did not make me curious about the director's further work. Not recommended. Oh yeah, people who like "Wheel of Fortune" can maybe give this one a chance for a familiar voice. The rest really can do without it. Glad to see it did not beat the superior "Lost Thing".
