An agrarian family are getting by when three bored gods decide to have some fun. Rain, Fire and Wind descend upon the farm and reduce their industry to ashes. These folks are resilient, though, and their response is a little like the "Three Little Pigs". The gods can huff and puff, but they can't blow down their new homes and factories of stone and metal. Thing is, the people haven't really thought through the ramifications of their developing science and so gradually the pollutive effects of their machines impact far more globally than their three mischievous gods could ever have done. Can they dial it back in time? Though I didn't rate the quality of the animation so much here, some of it is quite bland and indistinct, the Hubley's were certainly on message about matters environmental with this. It's worth ten minutes, but maybe not a film that will stick in your mind.
