Past and Present (or Big to Little)
This movie shows the earth in the universe, and on its surface first we see life in the water, illustrated by fish in a pond. Then it shows life on land as birds in the distance and trees forming a forest, culminating with flowers and insects. There is only music for background but the film uses children's art in the animation. You can tie this into ideas for classroom art and early nature awareness or science projects.
