Plastic pollution looms as one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time, a threat as urgent as it is invisible. Enter The Lords of Water—a vibrant, mixed-media animation project brought to life through a dynamic collaboration with longtime creative partners ilovedust. Blending bold illustration styles, from retro cel animation to punchy motion graphics, the film bursts with color and creativity, weaving a compelling tale that doubles as a cautionary fable. Its message is clear: abandon single-use plastic bottles, or risk awakening the wrath of aquatic deities hellbent on defending their polluted realm. Elevated by a pulsating soundtrack and the unmistakable narration of legendary actor Matt Berry, the project reimagines environmental storytelling with a playful, avant-garde edge. Part mythic warning, part eye-catching spectacle, The Lords of Water flips traditional water marketing on its head, swapping bland messaging for a kaleidoscopic call to action. It’s a reminder that saving the planet doesn’t have to be dull—sometimes, it just needs a little animation magic and a lot of creative rebellion
