GREEN ANIMATION is a compilation of short, fresh animated films about environmental issues. Under the sponsorship of the World Wide Fund for Nature in the UK, animators and musicians- some student, some professional - combine talents to prompt laughter, anger, indignation and action for an ecologically sound future. This collection of 11 short films is accompanied by a teacher's guide, and has reference markers to help discussion leaders have easy access to any particular film.
