Recap: Planet Eleven
Who's the biggest fool, the fool or the followers of the fool? The residents of 'Planet Eleven' face this question while running.
...This is the last recap of the Planet animations, tomorrow I will be posting the brand new, final animated short of this project, 'Planet Twelve'.
Recap: Planet Ten
While reminiscing about times long gone, one of the former residents of 'Planet Ten' has a plan to get back to those heady days. But will his hubris be his undoing?
Recap: Planet Nine
The kids on Planet Nine discover that the mix of superpowers and peer pressure is an accident waiting to happen.
Recap: Planet Eight
Food can be a dangerous business for the inhabitants of 'Planet Eight'. But with fruit this tasty they just can't help themselves.
Recap: Planet Seven
We pop over to 'Planet Seven' as two of its inhabitants' are having a little catch up. What exciting adventures have they been up to? What fascinating plans do they have for the weekend?… it all gets a bit much for one of them.
Recap: Planet Six
Those silly inhabitants of 'Planet Six' take things too far in this tale of a petty disagreement that escalates beyond all control. All together now… War, HUH! Good God y'all, What is it good for? (absolutely nothin')
Recap: Planet Five
Something is stirring in the waters of 'Planet Five'. From a single cell, one creature evolves into the next and for a fleeting moment the darkest depths of the sea are transformed by a dazzling display of light and colour.
Recap: Planet Four
What do the robots do after they have taken over the planet. It turns out the ones on 'Planet Four' find harmony and discuss philosophical matters of enlightenment, beauty and magnificence.
Recap: Planet Three
Dealing with themes of death, rebirth and world ecosystems; the neon inhabitants of 'Planet Three' undertake a journey that is both exhilarating and transformative.
Recap: Planet Two
On 'Planet Two' we follow a day in the life of one of it's typical inhabitants... ahh the rat race, a struggle people from all over the cosmos have to deal with.
