spook24 : I don't think you're an actor, but you do sometimes have opinion about actors.
This film is great (imho, and i'm not a 3D animator, nor a story-teller). The title, themeplanet, is a kind of clue, I guess ; ) : Themehospital, Themepark...
Although the story is very simple, it does tells me something. A bad guy, a kind of god (a player...), just makes creatures dedicating to work. One of these creatures demands for freedom, and gets it.
So, at least two stories answering themselves : one to laugh at players, who just repeat stupid actions to make stupid creatures, and one (the true one, or more important one) to see this laugh at from a little further, that is, this (our) planet is dedicated to work, and to stupid work : why not have a bit freedom...
Just to confirm, very quickly, the silly "happy worker" at 0:44, and the "days without accident" at the very start and... also at the end, maybe just in case some may misunderstood the intention of the author ; ).
There is more to write, I think, but this should answer to people thinking this is again a empty 3D animation.
