Terminator Tomatoes is a 5-minute animated film about the dangers of biologically altered seeds and produce. Shot on 35mm color film, and using stop-motion animation puppets and miniature sets, the film tells the story of a small-time farmer who decides to grow a genetically altered tomato in his garden. The film humorously addresses the issues and effects of genetically modified foods and questions where this potentially dangerous technology is headed.
