History Animation / MissDaizi

''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRrIu3NOejs Miss Daizi]]'' is a 2009 animated short film by the Chinese animation company Pingpig Studio. ''Miss Daizi'' chronicles the story of a plastic bag and a cup, which ends on very sad note, when the cup dies and dissolves and she doesn't, as she can't biodegrade, leaving her with a horrible reminder.

* SingleTear: Miss Daizi in the beginning [[spoiler: when she leaps off of a building]]

* DrivenToSuicide: The titular Miss Daizi[[spoiler: when she realizes that she cannot biodegrade (like the Cup did)]]. She fails.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: This comes naturally considering the titular's circumstances.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: [[spoiler:The whole message about this otherwise sadistic cartoon is that plastic doesn't biodegrade, but the truth is that not only does plastic biodegrade (it takes 1,000 years, but it still happens), but plastic bags biodegrade much, much quicker than many other forms of plastic at about 10-20 years.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Plastic bags can be quite durable but, durability aside, they can get worn out, thus, when Daizi gets a hole, she gets tossed out. [[spoiler: Later played with by meta example - plastic bags DO biodegrade after about 20 years, however, that's if they're exposed to elements and, by sealing herself in a box, Miss Daizi delays this]]

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: This comes naturally considering the titular's circumstances.[[spoiler:Though the reality is she would have had to wait about 10-20 years to decompose (which is pretty long, no doubt) if exposed to the elements long enough and join Cup but this still applies as she delays that process by sealing herself up in a box.]]

This makes the film seem much more an exercise to be dark and cynical than anything about pollution.]]

* RealityEnsues: Plastic bags can be quite durable but, durability aside, they can get worn out, thus, when Daizi gets a hole, she gets tossed out. [[spoiler: Later averted by meta example - plastic bags DO biodegrade after about 20 years, so the cruel story, ending and idea that she will be heartbroken forever is nonsense. This rather upends the cartoon's message about pollution when it inaccurately shares that plastic does not biodegrade and turns it into a film where a cute character turns into a suicidal mess for no other reason than just because.]]

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: This comes naturally considering the titular's circumstances.[[spoiler:Though the reality is she will only have to wait 10-20 years to decompose and join the paper cup whether objects go in the afterlife. That's a pretty long time to suffer, no doubt, but much more merciful than the way the film makes it seem like she will never be able to die.]]
