Scavengers is a beautiful animated short that premiered on Adult Swim’s Toonami block in late 2016. The animation is about two humans surviving on an alien world while longing for the civilization they left behind on planet Earth. It’s a captivating feat of fictional ecology that provides a poignant message about the power of nostalgia and longing. Join me as I dissect this beauty and explore the biological concepts and inspiration behind the creatures scavenging around and surviving on Vesta Minor.
