A delicately drawn green fable, taken from the children's book of the same name and illustrated by the director, Varmints tells the story of a rodent-like make-believe creature that sees its formerly peaceful life disturbed by civilization: where green pastures once extended into the horizon, ominous black skyscrapers now sprout up, where nature and sunlight once reigned in peaceful harmony, noise and fumes advance with urban sprawl where indifference now rules.
