Garbage Moon

Garbage Moon is a upcoming American computer animated sci-fi adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is directed by Madeline Sharafian in his feature directorial debut.

Summary
Many years in the future, humans have accumulated so much garbage that they begin to jettison it into space. Over time as garbage begins to collect in orbit, another moon is formed, the Garbage Moon. Some medical/laboratory waste is thrown away, and unfortunately that contains some rats who have been exposed to some such treatment that makes them incredibly intelligent, capable of human speech, and able to exist without oxygen. The lab rats have managed to survive and create a colony on the garbage moon. NASA notices the activity on the new moon, and sends people up to investigate.

Two astronauts (Aloysius and John) are tasked with the mission, and they are friendly enough as colleagues but they are very different men. Aloysius wants to continue observing the rats, but John thinks it's a waste of time and they should kill the rats; unfortunately before anything can be fully discussed, John is accidentally killed. The rats interpret this as Aloysius being their hero, and saving them. They begin a dialogue, and while Aloysius continues to study them, he tells the moon rats how their cousins on earth are treated. He's ashamed but he's honest. The moon rats realize that there is a way to give everyone what they want, and convince Aloysius to take a delegation back to earth. There is division between rats who think their moon should be for moon rats only; classic xenophobic struggle.

The conflict is resolved when the antagonist rats are reminded that they all came from earth originally, and what matters is that rats help other rats. All reasonable concerns about providing supplies and resources for a burgeoning population are addressed when NASA agrees to begin directly shipping garbage to the moon, rather than waiting for it to collect and gather over time. This also ensures an open line of communication for all “future negotiations”, which the rats find very dignified.

When they get to earth, Aloysius explains to his bosses that the moon rats’ plan: communicate a message to all the rats on earth that there is a place for them on the Garbage Moon, that the earth could be free of rats and they could be free to be rats! Rats all over the world, who happen to be passing television sets and radios, hear the message and begin to spread the word. Most earth rats are in agreement and are terribly excited for the adventure. All the rats flood the space program, hop on the shuttles, and go to live happily ever after on the Garbage Moon.
