Doomed, by Guillermo García Carusi.

Natural Selection is Cruel: a series pilot by Pocoyo co-creator Guillermo García Carci. This short film was produced through El Señor, Calusi's Madrid studio. Like his earlier series Pocoyo, the world of Doomed finds virtue in restraint. A stark white background sets the stage for a parade of modestly designed creatures (the cubefish says it all) that move in unexpected ways (the latter is a credit to animation director Txesco Montalt). The only embellishment is the hyperreal rendering style, a perfect whimsy in this novel approach to CGI.
