Viruses (The Animated Movie)

Yes, it’s Viruses, the 3D computer animated movie for kids! It will teach kids all about viruses and what they do and how they operate; something kids need to know, what with all the viruses floating around out there, some of which are incurable.

So the plot of Viruses would show a family of viruses in someone’s body, and the father virus gets up every morning to go to his job making shingles or whatever, and the mommy virus would drop off her little viruses at daycare and elementary school and high school before going to her job of making herpes sores or something like that, and then we’d have a few different plot lines with the different characters, and the gist would be that each virus has a special gift for some type of infection-making ability, and they have to choose the right path in life to be successful. And everyone would have to go through adversity and survive the onslaught of anti-viral medications and stuff.

And then there would be the romantic high school couple of viruses who nobody understands, man, and so they decide to run off secretly and start their own life together by jumping across onto another person during some sort of person-to-person infectious interaction; and they have to get the timing exactly right, so they sneak out of their homes and try to elope, but someone notices them leaving, so the family chases them and tries to stop them; but it’s too late, and they make the leap across to another body, which is very perilous looking, like some long jump or unstable bridge thingy. But after suffering adversity for a while roughing it and dodging antibodies, the young couple gets used to the new environment, and they have a family of their own. And luckily for them, the new body is in a relationship with their old home body, and so they can jump back across the human-to-human connection when it occurs (like a kiss or whatever else people might do to allow viruses to be passed between them), and so they get to go visit their families every Thanksgiving, Christmas, Summer vacation, etc.

It’s the movie that’s destined to “go viral”, with the most infectious laughs of the year; it’s Viruses: catch it soon at a theater near you!

(And if the movie is good enough, maybe kids will love the characters enough to go protest anti-viral medication companies and such.)
