Morlyn Sbwriel / Litter Lagoon

Morlyn Sbwriel / Litter Lagoon

A team of USW animators, 3D artists, sound designers vfx artists and an illustrator have been working on an 3D animated short to highlight the issue of plastic pollution on our beautiful Welsh beaches. 

We follow Dylan, an intrepid but mischievous little boy who finds a rockpool and fills it with his garishly bright plastic toys- only to find that this rockpool is in fact a magical portal to the litter filled lair of a very disgruntled merman named Llyr.
