Union Body (The Animated Movie)

Some guy in some ad for Humira talks about making things work in his body, and I thought maybe they would work better if he paid them a living wage, and so his organs and hormones and bodily fluids and such ought to unionize. And then I thought: Hey, this idea could make a fun didactic healthy food and exercise animated movie for kids!

So here’s how this movie would work: Some kid just eats junk food all the time and plays video games and watches TV, and his internal organs start having a hard time, and so they revolt and form an alliance, creating a union of working body parts to rebel against the brain, forcing it to cause the kid to eat a more healthy diet and get some much needed exercise. (It would make a good propaganda film for the government Let’s Move program. And actually, as such, it would make a good ad or promo for the program, wouldn’t it?)
