Felix Colgrave (previously at Neatorama) brings us a surreal and rather colorful animated video with a delightful retro vibe. This cartoon starts out following a shipment of discarded toy parts to the bottom of the ocean. You assume it’s some kind of an allegory for microplastic pollution. But they start to take on a life of their own, and self-assemble into weirder and weirder creatures. You then realize this is an experimental animation, and you may as well enjoy it for what it is. Colgrave tells us this is an “exploration of ocean plastic, avatars and adaptive bottom feeders. The musical!” It was inspired by a collection of toy parts belonging to his two-year-old son that he calls donks. Thrown together, they make some pretty interesting toys.

At the end of the credits, he acknowledges the Wurundjeri and the Boonwurrung people who once ruled the part of Australia where Colgrave lives. -via reddit
