A Cartoon Alpaca Voiced By Amy Poehler Explains Economic Inequality

Ever dream Amy Poehler would explain economic issues to you in the form of a cute alpaca? Well, you’re in luck.

Directed by Adam McKay, a new video for We The Economy called “The Unbelievably Sweet Alpacas” features Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Sarah Silverman. The trio voices adorable alpacas who have just graduated from their sweetness schools and are about to enter the work force for the first time. Unfortunately, their quest to the lollipop factory in search of jobs takes a turn when they’re met with the harsh realities of the current economic climate. Systematic inequality and social immobility have never been quite so … rainbow.
