Magnificent, morbid and to the point. A very deep story that intricately and very successfully explains the purpose of human life in the current universe as we know it. This short film is an excellent expression of how life on earth is experienced by a people who are enlightened without the presence of Jesus Christ in their lives. I enjoyed every moment and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely a must see.

World of Tomorrow is a beautiful movie even if its story is pretty ehh. Every square inch of this film is pure eye candy. each character is drawn in such a unique way and the water color back rounds make the colors pop straight of the screen. The music was also pretty cool. It was a nice mix of retro and pop music creating something really cool. If you do watch this movie it would be pretty much a sixteen minutes of eye candy with cool music to it. The story is clearly not much of a focus in this picture but that thankfully does not hurt the short film so much seeing how it knows what it is and doesn't try and take itself to seriously . This allows the movie to be much more entertaining. Overall I recommend this movie for its beautiful animation, and unique music. 7/10!

i first saw this at the IFC Center as part of a Oscar nominated short thing. i was very touched by the main character, Emily. i liked the animation and the story of World of Tomorrow. it was very amazing and somewhat emotional. i really hope this wins the Oscar because it touched me and i bet it will touch you heart too and i recommend going to see it because you will not regret seeing it and it will make you feel like a kid again. i also want to add that the actress who plays Emily did a very good job. i also liked the whole techno theme of the short. i loved the basic overall plot and i just loved everything about it. if you want something funny and sweet this movie is for you.

I know it may be strange to do a full length review on a short film, but I felt this one deserved it. Don Hertzfeldt is one of my favorite animators right now and he's done other work that I loved like "It's Such A Beautiful Day" (which I will review at some point in the future) and the disturbingly funny "Rejected". "World Of Tomorrow" is his most recent work, and probably his most critically praised. What do I think of it? I think its absolutely fantastic. Personally, I don't think its as good as "It's Such A Beautiful Day", but still great. Anyways lets continue.One thing to note is the animation. Hertzfeldt is known for using a somewhat minimalistic but unique style for most of his work, and this is probably his most visual work, since it presents other planets and parts of space. It does use a lot of techniques to create this style like using live action, special blur effects and so on. The short also has an amazingly creative and original story, so creative that it kinda reminds me of those famous short stories from Phillip K. Dick. It does bring up these great concepts, but also has time for emotional and funny moments. There is also some nice voice acting with the clone of Emily and her younger self. So in the end "World Of Tomorrow" is a creative, funny, and touching animation that makes you think long after you have viewed it. Honestly guys, go watch it now, its on Netflix its only 15 minutes long and I promise you that you won't regret it.Final Score: 8.5/10
