World of Tomorrow

 

World of Tomorrow is an animated sci-fi short film by Don Hertzfeldt. He recorded his four-year-old niece Winona Mae while she was drawing and playing and used the recording to help create her character in the film. I found this over the summer on Netflix — I thought it was a little strange at first, but it’s actually really interesting/oddly cute and kept me watching for all ~16 minutes of it. The use of Winona Mae’s natural sounds and dialogue is super cool and is kind of connected to our first project.

Here’s the trailer: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/worldoftomorrow

You can watch the whole thing on Netflix if you have a subscription, or you can check out this semi-sketch website I found online: click with caution!
