December 10, 2024 Video Release - Baby General
in honor of
International Animal Rights Day
Released on International Animal Rights Day, Baby General serves to indict so-called bargain markets and their surplus of cheap, often non-essential goods’ impact on the environment. IARD seeks to honor animals as sentient beings who deserve the same protections as people. Are the well being of humans and animals inextricably linked to the well being of our planet? What will we do for the things we want?
“This song is about wanting what you cannot have.”
Visualizer video for Non-disparagement made by Dr. CynCorrigible using Midjourney for image creation and Neural Frames for animation and features a series of realistic renderings of cats shopping like people in a bargain market. Mice are depicted as singing the choruses to represent the voice of the oppressed. They are joined at the end by a band of punk rock cats who see they are the same and join the mice to also call for change. The video cover picture shows a grey striped cat wearing a red santa hat and holding a round, red Christmas bulb tree decoration. The cat is standing in a Christmas tree display area in a store and you can see several Christmas trees and shelves with other products for sale in the background.
The song was created by these humans:
