Funny flash movies on factory
farming, hunting and animal rights
The battle
against factory farms is not always dull. Some
flash movies are amusing and very effective.
People that saw The Matrix immediately will
recognize Morpheus, here portrayed as "Moopheus".

movie.
The Godfather changed his mission to save the
veal. Say
no to veal!
What we like too is
this anti-hunt

The war between supermarkets and it's thread
to organic food is compared with star wars in

Another example is Cows
with guns, a clever animation by Bjørn-Magne
Stuestøl with a nice song by Dana Lyons.
A
4-minute Flash™ animation that spoofs The
Matrix films and highlights the problems of factory
farming. Instead of Keanu Reaves, The
Meatrix stars
a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family
farm ... he thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad
cow, Moopheus, who shows him the ugly truth about
agribusiness, complete with a send-up of the "stop-motion" camerawork
immortalized by the Matrix.
CIWF action to ban the battery cage. Animation of the song "Stuck here with no room in this cage" .

Chicken Run [2000]

The movie invites
us into the Plasticine-world of Tweedy's farm,
a far-from-free-range egg factory ruled with an
axe of iron by greedy Mrs Tweedy. One intrepid
chicken, Ginger sets
her sights on breaking out the whole flock, a cast
of beautifully individuated chicken characters
including ditsy Babs,
matronly Bunty and practical-minded
Mac. Each effort is thwarted, and
Ginger repeatedly reaps a spell in the coal bunker
for her troubles, prompting the first of many allusions
to The Great Escape. When an
American rooster named Rocky literally
drops in from the air, the hens are set all a-flutter
with excitement thinking he'll help teach them
to fly away at last. But Rocky is not all he seems.
