We are insect, mammal, reptile and fish. We are the LANIMALS!

At the start of 2020, with the spread of COVID-19 throughout the human population globally, we watched our brethren take to the streets – goats in Wales, deer in Japan, boars in Europe, monkeys in Thailand and birds everywhere. So we took to the streets of Melbourne.

The humans retreat. The city is ours!

LANIMALS: the MOVIE

Responding to the subterranean call of the a thousand hyphae, the LANIMALS emerge from beneath rocks and out of the ocean, converging on the metropolis. Their mission, to release the spores of wisdom and herald a new dawn for all creatures on Earth.
