Pánik (Panic) is one of the many experimental animated shorts produced at Hungary's Pannonia Film Studio, a frantic video collage directed by Sándor Reisenbüchler. Made in 1978, the animation used to play before Hungarian screenings of the original Star Wars movie for years, making it one of the most widely watched Pannonia shorts.It is very loosely based on Czech author Karel Capek's satirical sci-fi novel War with the Newts, animated in a similar style to Reisenbüchler's earlier The Kidnapping Of The Sun And The Moon. Like in the novel, humanity discovers and exploits a race of intelligent island-dwelling amphibians. Unlike in the novel, three of them are kidnapped and turned into giant rampaging monsters in an experiment Gone Horribly Wrong. Two get killed but one is left free to wreck humanity's consumerism-driven cities as it tries to find its way back home. While the novel tackles many crucial societal matters, the short is mainly just a giant jab at modern urban life, unethical science and commercialism.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Gone Horribly Wrong: After their abduction, humans zap three newts into giant monsters for some reason. They're shocked as the beasts tear free and wreak havoc on civilization.

Green Aesop: The short's main message is "nature over tech." To drive the point fully home, the last remaining newt monster shrinks back to his original form from the natural sunlight of his home island.

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Monstrous, mutated formerly-humanoid newts. The military and air force of course retaliate to their rampage.
