Tomorrow: animated short film on climate change
Ratul, a young boy, lives with his father in a beautiful house near the beach in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Gambling-loving Ratul is surprised to see his father’s love for nature and biodiversity.
One night, Ratul met an old man of the wind in a dream, who showed him two different forms of the future. In a future, Ratul sees the catastrophic state of the earth due to the misuse of natural resources; while the other future shows the contours of a self-sufficient Bangladesh using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.

Importance of Tomorrow in Global Entertainment
Climate change has always been a big problem. Small and large organizations were formed at different times to save the world from the greenhouse effect. Even then, the condition of the world is getting worse by the day. It is becoming impossible to stop the degradation of the biodiversity situation due to a lack of knowledge of populations from all walks of life.
With the development of technology, the means of communication are becoming more and more accessible to people. So, cinema can be a great way to educate people. In other words, awareness can be made more dynamic if it is presented in the form of entertainment.
The short film Tomorrow will show the new generation that to make the earth livable, we must be aware of the environment and act accordingly. Thus, the animated film will participate in the nature conservation course. Previously, popular animated films like Ice Age and Happy Feet did a similar job.

Stand of Tomorrow in the Bangladesh Film Industry
Bangladesh is still at the stage of making 3D animated films. In the field of television commercials and short videos, several good productions have won the hearts of the public. But the film industry in Bangladesh demands more creative 3D animation works to flourish. In this sense, the animated short Demain has set a milestone.
Not to mention that making 3D animated films is a daunting task. Besides the need for adequate technical knowledge, the time constraint is another big challenge in preparing 3D animated films. The good news is that the animation genre has a big market in the film world and its audience acceptance is huge. Therefore, production houses should invest heavily in producing quality animated films featuring innovative ideas and creative storylines.
In a word
Overall, the Animated film of tomorrow is a blessing for Bangladesh in two ways. First, Bangladesh obtained a 3D animated film. Then, an adapted communication element was created to publicize climate change. The success of Tomorrow film is expected to encourage the most talented Bangladeshi animators to make 3D films. At the same time, the new generation will grow up with an awareness of the environment, climate change and biodiversity.
