In her article "The Ecological Posthuman in Lee's Tarboy and Tan and Ruhemann's The Lost Thing" Basak Agin analyzes the posthumanist and ecological elements in two animated short films, James Lee's Tarboy (2009) and Shaun Tan's and Andrew Ruhemann's The Lost Thing (2010). Agin posits that the two animated short films display a disanthropocentric worldview through the enmeshed relations between humans, techno-sentient beings, and naturalcultural hybrid bodies. The intermingled fusions of these biotic and abiotic forms are inherently characterized by a sense of posthuman ecocriticism. Basing her arguments on the notions of agential realism and new materialisms, Agin contends that Tarboy and The Lost Thing present portrayals of posthuman entanglements.
