A Songbird who is forced to flee her deforested home accidentally clips her wing on a robotic facility antenna, plummeting into an underground scrap bin. Her collision caused an error within the facility: an obsolete robot is activated.
Seeing the mistake, the facility’s Master AI dumps the obsolete robot into the scrap bin, where he and the injured Songbird meet. After the robot interprets her solemn song as a wish to fly free again, the two form an unlikely symbiotic relationship.
Their directive: [ESCAPE].

We are aware that Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence.They cover 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. But then I wonder how we have not been responsible enough and managed to cause tremendous damage to these precious resources. It's time we think. It's time we take action to protect this precious resources. Just because this precious resources and the various species that lay within cannot speak, it's absolutely unfair to that we leave them unattended, when they need help
I CAN HEAR THEM CRY
I CAN FEEL THEIR SIGH !!
IF NOT PROTECTED
THEY ARE SURE TO DIE
We all share the planet and thus have a responsibility in striking a balance and maintaining harmony. We are in some way interdependent so it's our duty to protect, and preserve the beauty of nature to any extent. We must protect them by eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and protect all marine life around the world.

A contemporary cartoon satire, in the form of a burlesque action musical tragi-comedy, leads us into a delirious whirlwind of chain reactions as chaotic as they are grotesque...
