I find it’s cool how everyone kinda seems to have gotten something different out of it. I noticed how no one actually cared about the pig, just what the pig could do for them. The society crumbled because of what it was morally built on. Everyone for themselves, except the pig who was for everyone. And in the end, they didn’t learn from their mistakes. That’s what I got out of it at least. An example of what not to do.
good summary of how society treats men: not for their inherent personhood, but only on what they can do. and they are starting to turn their backs on society. good luck 👍
The wealthiest 1% should have used 90% of the pig and then give the 99% of the population 10%. Everyone knows the rich are much smarter than us common folk.
Pig Deflation should truly be our highest concern asa society. But on a serious note, I'm glad the animation didn't end with them coming together and saving the pig or something like that.

The ending reminds me of the whole infinite growth vs finite resources debate and how the infinite growth side believes that they'll always be able to outrun the consequences by finding more resources elsewhere.
I don't know where you've seen that recently... Nowadays it's more like, let's half world's population since otherwise, we can't supply it...! (World could still produce enough food for more than 50 billion people...) Haven't you seen new European Union law where they destroying dams to "recover original ecosystem"? It basically destroys it all but you get support from idiots who don't use internet more than for Tik Tok or such.
The infinite growth supporters do acknowledge finite ressources. It's not about creating more by farming asteroids or some bullshit, but using the existing ones including human workforce more and more efficiently, thus creating growth in productivity.
That's not what growth is. Growth is not a matter of finding new resources. They talk about growth in GDP as an indicator, but it doesn't account for what is lost. It's just a useful but flawed metric most people don't understand. The real growth is in Net Domestic Product, when a society has more than what they stated with. Someone produced something valuable to society. But things are also replaced, that's part of the growth. It's a positive sum game where society grows by a few percent every year.
yes but that's eventually going to happen due to entropy, the best we can do is halt our consumption of resources until we can build rockets to fly to another habitable planet
Did anyone else expect the pig to suddenly wake up and either walk off or get angry over being used? If Studio Pupil ever makes a sequel to this, I hope the elephant does that
The danger isn't so much in the resources being bad, but it's when we become completely dependent on those resources to survive, that's when things get super shaky.
@@Patrick-gm3fbBecoming complacent and expecting it to always provide. Humanity will toss its bucket down the well, and when it draws it back, it will be empty.
It's definitely more about exploiting resources without maintaining or conserving them. The animals could live with taking turns using it, which was sustainable. Their dependence came from everything they built, which isn't inherently bad as long as they fed the pig and limited their use of its electricity. It's not that they couldn't live without the pig. They couldn't live with the pig. Same with current sustainability issues. The problems don't stem from our lack of primitive survival skills (which includes sustainability at scale). It comes from our resistance to any short term discomfort to invest in maintaining our natural resources until there is an immediate crisis, which is usually too late.
Just wait until the lights turn off in about 50 days. If im wrong, ill quietly eat my mistake If im right ill quietly eat my steaks. Cause im ready for the impending doom.
Moral of the story: greed is bad, capitalism is bad. You can't have infinite growth in a finite world. This system needs to change but they have the cops on their side.
I think the moral of the story is resource conservation and management. had they kept feeding the pig they could have had infinite energy but they didn't so it ran dry and they had to move to the next fuel source.
@@lewisheasman oh we do, huh? How quaint. And do you eat the sun? Are there these sun units you put in your appliances? Hmmm? Solar panels need OIL to be crafted.
Really cute. Also, poignant. I like how at the end, they found a new energy source, suggesting that our crisis isn't a "one and done" mistake, but a redundant error of us blowing through not one major resource, but all of the major resources.
I’m uncertain about your conclusion… After all, there was nothing produced when they “plugged into” the elephant. All that was left in the end was an allegorically “over saturated political ideology” with everything and everyone else left out to dry. Nothing is “purrrfect”… Perhaps a flying donkey wearing a flag for a cape could have saved the day? One thing is certain… It’s long past time to step out of the imagined and deal with the mess we’ve inherited.
Renewable sources of energy may have a worse environmental impact than the previous choice of energy. Coal=smog, Gas=CO2, Batteries=Acid poison. Oil is still needed to lubricate Wind turbine engines, and our roads and highways still contain tar.
@@Eowyn3Pride this is like saying you don't see the point in buckling your seatbelt because you'll get hurt either way if you crash. Renewables are already provably better for the environment than fossil fuels, and getting better by the year.

@@speedymaqing In this video the pig is meant to represent the planet, so you could technically say that they would have made a farm and use up all the nutrients in the ground.
@@cr4yv3n I don't think so. I think it shows the risks or overusing a limited supply while ignoring the Problem. If they had fed the pig throughout, there would have been no problem. It wouldn't have been very hard for them to set up infrastructure for that, but they didn't.
Really shows how we turn away from reality for the sake of convenience and how society is built so much on convenience that we dont know how to live without our hand being held. Fantastic video!
*I love how the animals and their behaviors are metaphors/allegories for various segments of society.* I like how the orange cat symbolizes business/energy interests given how the little guy was the first to suggest using multiplugs and how it was the first to respond to the pig's plight. In this regard it also symbolizes the 1%, not to mention the fact that it was the only one who had the means to (attempt to) escape the chaos that unfolded at the end. Like the cat, the goose, the small bird, and the rooster probably symbolize the oligarchy and the 1%, too, given how frantic they are in trying to maintain societal order, the fact that they don't show up in the streets most of the time, and the fact that they were part of the first animals to industrially exploit the pig as a source of power. Not to mention this other fact that the rooster was trying to sacrifice the goose to the pig, symbolizing the natural self-consuming selfishness of the 1%. The dog might symbolize the government, as well as state capacity to enforce order and the state's monopoly on the lawful use of force. Gotta love how the victory of anarchy and lawlessness over the government and the lawful use of force was represented with the police dog getting beaten up. The fox and the rabbit symbolize commoners who know no better; the fox being a pleb all too happy to take advantage of the chaos and the rabbit a decadent, materialist consumerist who was seen earlier to have engorged itself on food and TV advertisements. Speaking of decadent, materialist consumerists, the anteater is implied to be just like that as well, given its apathy and its laziness to do anything else but indulge in mass-produced supermarket ants. The sheep is the more innocent of the bunch, just wanting to finally touch up its messy woolen fleece and pursue a music career. The raccoon (and his family), quite obviously, are thieves, but even then, it seems that they just wanna live a decent life, but they are caught in the crossfire of anarchy when the fox decides to pull off a lil' bit of trolling. The turtle with a top hat and a surveillance camera is probably one of them cynical, off-the-grid doomsday preppers who know a bit better (which the turtle probably tries to portray through the top hat, a symbol of class, refinement, and intelligence), have the means to defend themselves from government and society (what the turtle shell symbolizes), and the ability to just comfortably watch them all when crap finally hits the fan (as implied by the surveillance camera on its shell). In the end, however, nobody learns. Nobody changes. From the patrician to the plebeian, EVERYONE still wants a piece out of whatever electrical lard they can get their dirty plugs on.
@@Archiva1-k2o I regret I have but one like for this. Notice as well how no one feeds the pig until it’s too late: a critique of human laziness in general. Notice too the mosquitos who waste their power on a rave and go back to raving when the power flickers back…symbol of the unproductive in society. You’re one of the few that gets it…it’s less a critique about renewables or government or economic system than of humanity and tribalism. It’s no accident the pig is a pig…it’s a direct call out to animal farm. Interestingly the animals try out neither capitalism nor socialism. In capitalism you could have rationed by having animals draw as much power as effort as they take feeding the pig. The rawlsian critique could be that’s unfair because the mosquitos cannot carry as much as the chickens. The socialist solution would be to ration power but that would lead to the dog having to use violence to keep the chickens working and the chickens resenting the mosquitos. Brilliant film on the human condition and response to scarcity.
@@luthienyesinia1955 Thank you, and on point as well. "As long as everything is fine and I'm loving it, I don't care" is pretty much a classic societal attitude. Yes, they never seem to try either capitalism or socialism, which to me is a critique of the fact that, if you think about it, economic systems and theories are simply ideas on how to consume stuff efficiently and sustainably. Consumption (and not temperance or the like) is considered one of the highest goals, if not THE highest goal, of human society.
at this point it's a critique of the human race as a whole. our whole entire species is doomed unless you can have large swathes of people from multiple generations in a row who actually put forth effort to slowly shift how the human mind works in future generations, but people are too greedy and too self absorbed for that. all of us are. and if we're not, then we're losing our minds because of people that are.
Considering the recent event where one small bug in Cloudstrike bootlooped many computers, maybe we should have more backup solutions that are more relyable.
the problem was that it was too little too late. since they were all sharing it, nobody wanted to be the one to sacrifice in order to keep it going, so they all ignored the obvious looming problem until it was too late to fix anything.
@@aidenaune7008 it’s interesting that neither leftism or rightism is presented as a solution to this either. The choice of the pig is deliberate. It’s a call out to animal farm. The rightist solution would be you only get power if you work for it…feed the pig get some power…but the problem there is everyone is unequal…the mosquito cannot feed the pig as well as the chicken. The leftist answer is to ration : force the chickens to work for the mosquitos…the problem is the dog would have to be paid more to enslave the chickens….because the chickens will resent not only having to work harder than the mosquitos but also that the mosquitos are unproductively wasting their energy on raves. The bottom line problem is scarcity which means neither solution comes to an adequate answer. It’s also no accident the animals are all different species which is an allegory for human tribalism…if they were all dogs cooperation might have been easier.
I like how this story metaphorically tells about our current scenario. Pig - nature/environment which is constantly endangered Cats - scientists and intellectuals who gave altruistic ideas and also knew what to do during societal collapse. Owl - is some discovery/nat geo documentary journalist who tells about the endangered environment. Rabbit - common people who knows about environmental challenges but refuse to act Dog - govt who knows the problem and have the solution but chose not to Elephant - new world full of resources (north & south america, Australia and Antarctica during renaissance and Extra-terrestrial planets in future).
rather, a pig and an elephant are veins of minerals and trees, and when people have stolen one vein, they stick to another and so on until all the veins run out
Moral of the story: greed is bad, capitalism is bad. You can't have infinite growth in a finite world. This system needs to change but they have the cops on their side.
Centralized authority simplifying millions into the will of a few makes it to where we are many with the processing power of essentially just one. Humans learn just fine. It's just centralization that makes us seem stupid.
@@kjj26k I said literally that. Though I probably should have written humanity. Because as shown our species is making the same mistakes over and over again. And it will most likely continue to do so. Only a minority of people change their ways instead of going that route.
Change "human" by "neurotypical" and your sentence will be perfect. They can learn, but don't really want to because they like to live in delusion, making superficial/dangerous stuff the center of their lives and thinking that their acts have no consequences. They love to ignore how impacting they can be. They believe themselves so superior and invencible to everything else to be scorned by Nature. They're cyclical and tribal, stupidly ready to start a big mess and close their eyes.
And this is why basing your entire society/economy on a single power source/resource that is inherently finite will always lead to regression and collapse when that resource eventually runs out.

@@powerfulgamer1379Nowhere near enough though I’m afraid. I feel guilty for bringing my children in to the world quite often.

Magnificent Short Film I've ever seen. Great editing and perfect climax to describe the corruption of every character greediness. Thank you for brilliant arts to inspire us everything.
They should have stored the energy the pig was releasing in batteries and maintained a constant supply of food to give to the pig instead of ignoring everything! Silly animals 😅
It doesn't matter when you use more than the source can produce. Which is the whole point of this animation. It wasn't about the misuse of the ressource, it was about greed.
No no no, you are very wrong. You need to use your elephant and your pig at the same time, that way there is more energy to be had, so more people can be supported! What? That will make both of them run out? How is that possible? We are using two sources at once, which means they deplete slower!
This summarises how short-sighted humans are. I'm obviously more focused on the environment, but we do it with everything. We find something useful to us, use it until it is gone or destroyed and then we move on. We don't think about living within our means, caring for something or even planning ahead to prevent disaster. Look at the "city" they built, a haphazard construction of buildings with wires running everywhere built on scaffolding. No planning, no thought to safety or the fact that the resources would run out someday. Even when we don't have a disaster happen, we go back to exactly what caused it. We are insane, repeating the same action expecting a different result
0:26 - is that a reference to that Phineas and Ferb episode where you expected them to be behind the curtain and it turned out to be a rabbit and his musical blender?😂
Considering the number of sequential power boards they plugged into the pig I'm amazed none of them caught fire and created electrical faults around the city they'd built!
The point here is that we are rather dependent on non-renewables for energy; if those run out, society breaks down rather quick. We can tap reserves and such, but eventually we will run dry. There is an analogy here, as this short film PERFECTLY symbolizes the oil crisis (the elephant is coal and natural gas, if you’re wondering). Stay aware, people. (Edit: Controversy bubbling up in replies, so proceed with caution.)
@@melanimatejak6821 yes and they were right, when talking about the(at the time) known reserves. What you forget is that there is such a thing as finding NEW reserves, which obviously can't be predicted by those studies and as such is not included in them. At some point we are gonna find every last bit of oil and use it all up. The question is just when, not if.
This is such good work. I’m glad people are commenting about the subject material, but the work itself is first rate no matter what. They actually bothered to write a score and perform it with ACTUAL musicians. GOOD ones. Really outstanding
6:05 we see the society is entirely living off the ground. No more connected to the floor where they come from. One of the pilar colapses, the energy pilar I assume... what would the two others pilars represent ?
Very thought provoking. Humans will use a resource until depleted, turn to chaos and repeat the cycle when another opportunity presents itself. They did nothing different in the end 😢
I really feel like everyone missed the actual moral of the story... It was how the pig brought everything in the first place. Nobody understood what they had and took it for granted - everything else was just the result of their actions, or complacency.
When the people realized that the power source wasn’t unlimited, they ignored it and just went forward anyway, if they would have done something earlier they would’ve still had their society.
@@Sandman_IX Most people have instead been taking it as malthus as @cr4yv3n points out. Most starvation and poverty in the world can be attributed to the greed of the few at the top and overall supply chain disruptions that happen due to world conflicts. Its true the 'society' in the video ignored the problem, and chose not to seek an alternative out or solve the problem with the current energy provider(the pig), until it was to late. And a major problem with malthusiasm is all it will do is inevitably lead to suffering all in the name of kicking the can down the road. I keep wondering when they turn to fascism in the name of trying to save the environment with the thanos strategy. When ultimately, not only will it not work but I'm pretty sure it'll turn the world against environmentalism at large. Make people associate environmentalism with brutal fascism. When environmentalism done right could be associated with beauty and prosperity of society and longevity for both the environment AND society.

The ending reminds me of the whole infinite growth vs finite resources debate and how the infinite growth side believes that they'll always be able to outrun the consequences by finding more resources elsewhere.
I don't know where you've seen that recently... Nowadays it's more like, let's half world's population since otherwise, we can't supply it...! (World could still produce enough food for more than 50 billion people...)
Haven't you seen new European Union law where they destroying dams to "recover original ecosystem"? It basically destroys it all but you get support from idiots who don't use internet more than for Tik Tok or such.
The infinite growth supporters do acknowledge finite ressources. It's not about creating more by farming asteroids or some bullshit, but using the existing ones including human workforce more and more efficiently, thus creating growth in productivity.
Yeah welcome TO LIFE.
LIFE needs energy. Weird right?
That's not what growth is. Growth is not a matter of finding new resources. They talk about growth in GDP as an indicator, but it doesn't account for what is lost. It's just a useful but flawed metric most people don't understand. The real growth is in Net Domestic Product, when a society has more than what they stated with. Someone produced something valuable to society. But things are also replaced, that's part of the growth. It's a positive sum game where society grows by a few percent every year.
yes but that's eventually going to happen due to entropy, the best we can do is halt our consumption of resources until we can build rockets to fly to another habitable planet
Did anyone else expect the pig to suddenly wake up and either walk off or get angry over being used? If Studio Pupil ever makes a sequel to this, I hope the elephant does that

The danger isn't so much in the resources being bad, but it's when we become completely dependent on those resources to survive, that's when things get super shaky.
It's more than becoming dependant on them, it's taking them for granted and exploiting them.
@@Patrick-gm3fbBecoming complacent and expecting it to always provide. Humanity will toss its bucket down the well, and when it draws it back, it will be empty.
It's definitely more about exploiting resources without maintaining or conserving them.
The animals could live with taking turns using it, which was sustainable. Their dependence came from everything they built, which isn't inherently bad as long as they fed the pig and limited their use of its electricity.
It's not that they couldn't live without the pig. They couldn't live with the pig. Same with current sustainability issues. The problems don't stem from our lack of primitive survival skills (which includes sustainability at scale). It comes from our resistance to any short term discomfort to invest in maintaining our natural resources until there is an immediate crisis, which is usually too late.

I like how at the end, they found a new energy source, suggesting that our crisis isn't a "one and done" mistake, but a redundant error of us blowing through not one major resource, but all of the major resources.
I’m uncertain about your conclusion… After all, there was nothing produced when they “plugged into” the elephant.
All that was left in the end was an allegorically “over saturated political ideology” with everything and everyone else left out to dry.
Nothing is “purrrfect”… Perhaps a flying donkey wearing a flag for a cape could have saved the day?
One thing is certain… It’s long past time to step out of the imagined and deal with the mess we’ve inherited.
Renewable sources of energy may have a worse environmental impact than the previous choice of energy.

*I love how the animals and their behaviors are metaphors/allegories for various segments of society.*
I like how the orange cat symbolizes business/energy interests given how the little guy was the first to suggest using multiplugs and how it was the first to respond to the pig's plight. In this regard it also symbolizes the 1%, not to mention the fact that it was the only one who had the means to (attempt to) escape the chaos that unfolded at the end.
Like the cat, the goose, the small bird, and the rooster probably symbolize the oligarchy and the 1%, too, given how frantic they are in trying to maintain societal order, the fact that they don't show up in the streets most of the time, and the fact that they were part of the first animals to industrially exploit the pig as a source of power. Not to mention this other fact that the rooster was trying to sacrifice the goose to the pig, symbolizing the natural self-consuming selfishness of the 1%.
The dog might symbolize the government, as well as state capacity to enforce order and the state's monopoly on the lawful use of force. Gotta love how the victory of anarchy and lawlessness over the government and the lawful use of force was represented with the police dog getting beaten up.
The fox and the rabbit symbolize commoners who know no better; the fox being a pleb all too happy to take advantage of the chaos and the rabbit a decadent, materialist consumerist who was seen earlier to have engorged itself on food and TV advertisements. Speaking of decadent, materialist consumerists, the anteater is implied to be just like that as well, given its apathy and its laziness to do anything else but indulge in mass-produced supermarket ants.
The sheep is the more innocent of the bunch, just wanting to finally touch up its messy woolen fleece and pursue a music career. The raccoon (and his family), quite obviously, are thieves, but even then, it seems that they just wanna live a decent life, but they are caught in the crossfire of anarchy when the fox decides to pull off a lil' bit of trolling.
The turtle with a top hat and a surveillance camera is probably one of them cynical, off-the-grid doomsday preppers who know a bit better (which the turtle probably tries to portray through the top hat, a symbol of class, refinement, and intelligence), have the means to defend themselves from government and society (what the turtle shell symbolizes), and the ability to just comfortably watch them all when crap finally hits the fan (as implied by the surveillance camera on its shell).
In the end, however, nobody learns. Nobody changes. From the patrician to the plebeian, EVERYONE still wants a piece out of whatever electrical lard they can get their dirty plugs on.
@@Archiva1-k2o I regret I have but one like for this. Notice as well how no one feeds the pig until it’s too late: a critique of human laziness in general. Notice too the mosquitos who waste their power on a rave and go back to raving when the power flickers back…symbol of the unproductive in society. You’re one of the few that gets it…it’s less a critique about renewables or government or economic system than of humanity and tribalism. It’s no accident the pig is a pig…it’s a direct call out to animal farm. Interestingly the animals try out neither capitalism nor socialism. In capitalism you could have rationed by having animals draw as much power as effort as they take feeding the pig. The rawlsian critique could be that’s unfair because the mosquitos cannot carry as much as the chickens. The socialist solution would be to ration power but that would lead to the dog having to use violence to keep the chickens working and the chickens resenting the mosquitos. Brilliant film on the human condition and response to scarcity.
@@luthienyesinia1955 Thank you, and on point as well. "As long as everything is fine and I'm loving it, I don't care" is pretty much a classic societal attitude.
Yes, they never seem to try either capitalism or socialism, which to me is a critique of the fact that, if you think about it, economic systems and theories are simply ideas on how to consume stuff efficiently and sustainably. Consumption (and not temperance or the like) is considered one of the highest goals, if not THE highest goal, of human society.
at this point it's a critique of the human race as a whole. our whole entire species is doomed unless you can have large swathes of people from multiple generations in a row who actually put forth effort to slowly shift how the human mind works in future generations, but people are too greedy and too self absorbed for that. all of us are. and if we're not, then we're losing our minds because of people that are.

@@aidenaune7008 it’s interesting that neither leftism or rightism is presented as a solution to this either. The choice of the pig is deliberate. It’s a call out to animal farm. The rightist solution would be you only get power if you work for it…feed the pig get some power…but the problem there is everyone is unequal…the mosquito cannot feed the pig as well as the chicken. The leftist answer is to ration : force the chickens to work for the mosquitos…the problem is the dog would have to be paid more to enslave the chickens….because the chickens will resent not only having to work harder than the mosquitos but also that the mosquitos are unproductively wasting their energy on raves. The bottom line problem is scarcity which means neither solution comes to an adequate answer. It’s also no accident the animals are all different species which is an allegory for human tribalism…if they were all dogs cooperation might have been easier.

Humans learn just fine. It's just centralization that makes us seem stupid.
@@kjj26k I said literally that. Though I probably should have written humanity. Because as shown our species is making the same mistakes over and over again. And it will most likely continue to do so. Only a minority of people change their ways instead of going that route.
Humans as a whole have improved society a million times over.
Change "human" by "neurotypical" and your sentence will be perfect.
They can learn, but don't really want to because they like to live in delusion, making superficial/dangerous stuff the center of their lives and thinking that their acts have no consequences.
They love to ignore how impacting they can be.
They believe themselves so superior and invencible to everything else to be scorned by Nature.
They're cyclical and tribal, stupidly ready to start a big mess and close their eyes.
And this is why basing your entire society/economy on a single power source/resource that is inherently finite will always lead to regression and collapse when that resource eventually runs out.

This summarises how short-sighted humans are. I'm obviously more focused on the environment, but we do it with everything.

We don't think about living within our means, caring for something or even planning ahead to prevent disaster.

There is no moral here.
It's the dusty corpse of Malthus haunting this video.
When the people realized that the power source wasn’t unlimited, they ignored it and just went forward anyway, if they would have done something earlier they would’ve still had their society.
@@Sandman_IX Most people have instead been taking it as malthus as @cr4yv3n points out.
Most starvation and poverty in the world can be attributed to the greed of the few at the top and overall supply chain disruptions that happen due to world conflicts.
Its true the 'society' in the video ignored the problem, and chose not to seek an alternative out or solve the problem with the current energy provider(the pig), until it was to late.
And a major problem with malthusiasm is all it will do is inevitably lead to suffering all in the name of kicking the can down the road. I keep wondering when they turn to fascism in the name of trying to save the environment with the thanos strategy. When ultimately, not only will it not work but I'm pretty sure it'll turn the world against environmentalism at large. Make people associate environmentalism with brutal fascism. When environmentalism done right could be associated with beauty and prosperity of society and longevity for both the environment AND society.
