Watch World of Tomorrow For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"World of Tomorrow" (United States, 17 min.) – This film tells its story by animating stick figures and laying them over simple, but colorful and imaginative backgrounds. A little girl who sounds like she's 3 or 4 is visited through her television set by a clone of herself (a few clone generations removed) from 200 years in the future. The future Emily tells "Emily Prime" about life in the future and how all this came to be, as well as taking Emily Prime into the TV so she can see a place called the "outer-net". This film is silly, but inventive, deriving its humor from the quirkiness of people in the future, their whimsical references to death and from the reactions of a toddler hearing and seeing things that adults would have a hard time understanding. The script also works in some social commentary and even a couple deep thoughts such as, "You only appreciate the present when it's the past." Enjoyable, but weird. "A-"

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.

Don Hertzfeldt has become one of my favorite filmmakers! "Rejected" was always one of my favorite short films, and "It's Such a Beautiful Day" moved me more than any animated film since "Grave of the Fireflies". I'm glad to say that Hertzfeldt has absolutely amazed me yet again with his masterpiece "World of Tomorrow"."World of Tomorrow" is a truly mind bending experience, and one of the greatest short films I've ever seen (along with greats like "A Trip to the Moon", "La jetee", and "Zero for Conduct"). It manages to always be thought provoking, hilarious, and bizarrely moving and emotional. It is an experience that I won't soon be forgetting, and I highly encourage seeing it as soon as possible, for this is one of the greatest films of 2015, short or feature!

It's been 20 years since a then not even 20-year-old Don Hertzfeldt made his very first short movie. Next year he turns 40 and this year it's the 20th anniversary of his career. After he has not made a new film for 4 years now, it's really nice to see him back with "World of Tomorrow", a 17-minute short film and his take on science-fiction. As all his movies, there is a great moral and lesson to take from this one here as well. I would say it is neither among Hertzfeldt's best or worst films, but somewhere in the middle. The main character, a little girl, meets her future self and goes on a journey with her and even if the 2 voice actresses were good, I was missing Hertzfeldt's voice as a narrator. He is just so much fun to listen to. Emily is an interesting character, but not even close to Billy in my opinion. Other than that, it's the usual Hertzfeldt again: his very own brand of humor, smart writing especially in terms of the dialogs, his usual simply style of animation, which is always very effective nonetheless, and the topic of loss and dealing with it, which is a dominant factor in many of his movies. I thought this was a good watch. One of the better 2015 short films I have seen so far.
