Streszczenie:
This paper is an analysis of four different pieces of animation, connecting their
themes to existing arguments in philosophical discourse. The analysis is divided into three
distinct sections, each concerning a different branch of philosophy: environmentalism,
philosophy of religion and spirituality and, lastly, nihilism. Breaking down the philosophical
undertones in each of the narratives allows for a thorough study of existential dilemmas in the
twenty-first century. Though the paper mostly focuses on the philosophical analysis, it is also
an attempt to define animation’s contemporary association with entertainment, as well as
understand its vast potential as a medium.
