It’s funny to think this is how it all began. Footage from the GM pavillion at the 1939 Futurama World Fair imagining the futuristic world of 1960. The future used to look better.
“I watched “The Sunshine Makers” (2015) on Prime the other night. Today I wanted to look at its poster, so I searched for it on Google and stumbled across this 1935 animated short. I didn’t find it particularly trippy in execution, but the idea of bottling and delivering sunshine by happy hippies, er, pixies, sure felt prescient. In fact, their lab at 1:17 (https://youtu.be/84StCRUgG18?t=77) reminded me in no small way of the labs where Scully and Sands made their ‘sunshine’.”
Nothing can hide the amazing genius of Busby Berkeley, the legendary 1930s movie director choreograph who created unbelievable kaleidoscopic forms all created by human dancers. (Below a backup YouTube version in lower quality for those having difficulty with Facebook videos).
