Good Riddance!
Australia 2005. A series of short animated films. 25 min. Eng. Heb Subtitles.
Dir: Nick Hilligos 
 

Five short films about a creative young man who tries out different methods of removing pests from home and the field. Rather than using harmful pesticides, he applies natural methods and recruits frogs, lizards and even spiders to the mission. Not every solution works smoothly and it takes a lot of resource and ingenuity to get the job done. The films are imaginative and thought provoking and are aimed at children and adults 8 and up.
