The Gigantic Change: An Animated Short by Passion Pictures for Extinction Rebellion

The Gigantic Change is an animated short film produced by the British studio Passion Pictures for the international movement Extinction Rebellion. Released on June 5, 2020, World Environment Day, the film is set in 2050 and features a grandmother, voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, telling a bedtime story to her granddaughter. The story describes a world on the brink of extinction due to human actions—polluted rivers, deforestation, and animal killings—but stops before the ending, leaving the child to imagine a hopeful future. The film is subtitled in multiple languages, including Italian, and aims to inspire change despite signs that society is reluctant to alter habits.
