Langlois - Bambi (1942) The classic animated film tells the story of a young deer and his friends who live in a forest threatened by hunters. When Bambi is still a fawn, his mother is killed by one of those hunters, and he must grow up without her. Bambi and his friends get older and he falls in love with another deer, Faline. Everything is peachy until the next day, when the forest goes up in flames and Faline is attacked by hunting dogs. Bambi is able to save her, and the couple eventually escapes to an island in a lake, where they live (at least we expect) happily ever after. The scene where Bambi’s mom dies would make even the most hardened hunter think about setting down his gun.http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Bambi_(character)

Dean- Biodegradable products help the environment because they get broken down naturally to their component parts. If you take a non biodegradable product such as a soda can, it can take up to 350 years to break down. A biodegradable product such as a notebook paper can be broken down within 3 months. Some advantages to biodegradable products are fuel efficiency, less pollution, and compostability.

Gardner - The Lorax: This movie had the environmental message of deforestation. This movie reflected the time period in which it was wrote. It was based off of people cutting down trees and destroying the environment for supplies. To show this, the Lorax lived in an area where no flowers or trees grew. He had to travel to an area in search of his special tree. There was even a point in the movie where it showed trees chopped. See the image below.

Gigliotti: The movie 'Happy Feet' is not just about tapping dancing penguins, those who watch the movie will get a glimpse of over fishing and pollution. For example, in one scene you see a beautifully feathered penguin with its head stuck in a canned beverage holder. The bird thinks of it as a 'talisman' until he begins to choke. This shows people the sad truth behind their littering and how it effects not only the waters of the world, but its inhabitants.

Quinones (Wall-E): This movie focuses on land pollution happening on Earth. A little robot is left to help save Earth all by himself when it becomes one ginormous landfill. The humans trash the planet so bad that it cannot sustain organic life anymore. Throughout the movie it shows how the human race becomes so useless and careless. They abandoned the dirty Earth to live in a space-cruise ship and leave the robotics to clean up their mess.
