I have seen World of Tomorrow more than any other film of (or in) 2015, and each time it triggers new emotions while coloring both previous experiences (and those yet to come). For this incredible reason, no other film can truthfully top my list.

8/10

A must-see short, as dour as it is hilarious, expertly mining pathos and awe from the preposterous and the imaginative alike.

5/5

When a film can be prophetic, humorous, elegant, simple, quirky, and ambitious all at once, without ever devolving into incoherence, that's something worth viewing.

Has just about the densest screenplay of any film of any length made in the English language in the 21st Century.

Densely packed with insightful visuals, dark humor, and Don Hertzfeldt's signature themes about humanity, mortality, and mankind's relationship with the universe, World of Tomorrow is an astonishing short that deserves to be a feature-length film

Another poetic, sad, funny, brilliant, minimal work from Don Hertzfeldt. He never miss a shot.

Short, cute, and very intelligent. A brilliant short sci-fi animation that well deserved its Oscar nomination.

It's way more interesting and unique at 17 minutes than most films are at 120, but it didn't do much for me personally.
