Minuscule’s Cicada do Brazil

Filed under: Pop Culture — by @ 7:06 pm

Minuscule’s Cicada do Brazil is a cute CG cartoon starring cicadas. Cicada experts will note that the life cycle of cicadas is in no way accurately depicted, but is it "just a cartoon". Thanks to Phoebe for bringing the video to our attention.

[The video was taken down by YouTube.]

More Minuscule TV.
