With environmental issues being seen, environmental ethics have become a well-known topic, and people start to notice the importance of living with nature in harmony. Also, with the growth of the social media, it’s more common for people to receive messages rapidly; using videos to deliver environmental subjects has become a common method for people. Although many of the videos take specific issue as their descriptive object, they have already used environmental ethics in their own creations.

At first, this animation creation will elaborate the definition and classification of environmental ethics, and also look into the development and extension of it. Furthermore, we will discuss the well-known animated short films which are themed with environmental issues to analyze their background and central ethics. By using Bremond’s narrative analysis, we can find out that environmental films use a lot of deterioration in order to deliver the environmental issues while improvement is used for the twist in the story. Therefore, in this animation creation, lots of deterioration will be used and improvement will be shown only once for giving the audience hope. After that, story will end in deterioration in order to bring about the audience’s respect for the issues. This animation creation will focus on the environmental issue that Taiwanese lantern culture causes, and describe the good and damage it brings to the nature. I hope that this animation creation can transmit awareness and introspection to the audience.
