This next clip wasn’t picked for a specific trait or quality as far as digital animation goes, but simply that this film was my introduction to digital animation other than cartoons or anime. Its provocative messages, stretching from adolescent rebellion of music and sub cultures, to larger issues such as war in the middle east, to social political issues like homosexuality. Being able to express the strife of ones life in a culture under such extreme guidelines without using actors or actresses, but instead animated characters, was unique in itself.

Both entertaining and enlightening, I would highly recommend this film to anyone not just interested in these topics, but to a person who has no prior knowledge or relation.
