I actually just happen to stumble upon this today, and I was very impressed. It’s a bit lengthy however I highly recommend watching the whole thing. Its very funny and entertaining while simultaneously interesting and very, very informative. The comedic and animation/design and movement style is reminiscent of Family guy and many other Seth McFarland animations. There are bunch of parody references to other works of art. Sounds are high quality. the main character Piles, has a very Jerry persona about him.(Rick and Morty reference). But most importantly it addresses and focuses on one, if not the most important and unknown understandings of our time. It brushes on important historical facts and concepts most are surely unaware of and it provides it in such a way that doesn't seem too scary as to be rejected. The creators took a daring risk by publishing this. It will have you watching until the end. which is epic by the way. Highly recommend watching this all the way through. Although I already was aware of the lessons learned in this animation. It is one of the best animated narratives on the subject that I personally have ever seen.
