I saw discussion of World of Tomorrow on Twitter (because it was nominated for an Oscar) and checked it out. I enjoyed it. It is only 16 minutes long and is a weird and funny (but very dry humor) short sci fi (sort of) animated film. I think it would be right up the alley of several people here so I thought I would start a thread.

Yup, don hertzfeldt’s work is incredible.

[it’s such a beautiful day](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2396224/) is also on netflix and worth watching, but world of tomorrow was better.

Here is another short he did that I love [the meaning of life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMsyOowMaEY)
