The born optimist that is "Mother Earth" is having an observational chat with the rather more stoic "Father Time" whilst they look at some of the choices mankind has made over the years. From early camp fire settlements to full scale modern-day warfare, it demonstrates the ability of society to polarise, to isolate and to never make the right decision even for their own benefits, much less for the protection of the planet! Time and Earth are discussing ways to stop this impending catastrophe - but neither feel they can intervene. This features quite a witty and enthusiastic narration that offers us an entertainingly written potted history of humanity whilst the animation is lively and effective at developing the plot. Fifty years on, are we more or less likely to live in a metaphorical box?
