Actually, now that I think about it, there as was a straight to DVD movie that came out about a year ago called “Battle for Terra.” It was an animated movie, but it seemed to have similar elements to this one, including humans wearing breathing equipment in an alien planet. That one was a whole environmental-nutjob orgasm about the evils of modern industrial society.
Don't forget the religious fanatics in that POS....can't forget them.
We just saw “Ponyo”. While Hayao Miyazaki has always made environmental type films (he was a marxist hippy type before it was cool), Disney had to take it one step farther. Knowing what the characters were saying from Japanese fan subs, I had to shake my head when the father of Ponyo spouted humans pollute the oceans, instead of humans take the fish and kill them.
And people wonder why I would rather watch these movies with subtitles instead of the Disney dubs.
