    I caught this on public access! WEIRD! WATCH IT if you can FIND IT!!!
    I wasn't sure WHAT it was called...at first I thought it was maybe "Perelundra" by C.S. Lewis (hadn't read it).

    70's Surreal and philosophical animation about a future world where man is a tiny savage species amongst the more cerebral big blue people, and is treated accordingly as toys and/or pests. Fantastic :-)
