Science geek invents machine that makes it rain cheeseburgers, then finds there's no such thing as free lunch: is it me, or is this supposed children's animation really a parable about runaway consumerism?

Bearing in mind that it's set on a mid-Atlantic island with a fish-based economy – Iceland, hello? It's not The Incredibles, but it has a solid gag ratio and good animation (the spaghetti tornado is spectacular).
