Halas and Batchelor did some great work. This is a stylistically beautiful,very imaginative cartoon satirizing mass consumerism,social status through materialism,and overpopulation. Animation was a true art form back in this time.

One thing that's interesting is the mention of companies bringing you food (Food Inc). Since car dependency makes small businesses hard to start and maintain (you just end up with big box stores) you end up with a few big companies providing you everything. In these places there is, in fact, a Food Inc, a Tobacco Inc, just has a different name.

Impressed to see such a clean, decent copy for once! This one was always very grainy and slightly worn out due to duplicate prints being used over the years.

This isn’t true at all. People aren’t living in cars stacked up to the skies,nor are helicopters delivering drivers alcohol and we aren’t eating food pills and don’t have cars that reproduce themselves. It’s just a very imaginative cartoon satirizing mass consumerism,social status through materialism,and overpopulation.

It's always a little odd when they don't credit for narration sometimes (an earlier Halas & Batchelor short "The History of Cinema" would credit Maurice Denham for commentary).
@MarkMcCluney6 жыл бұрын
Christopher Sobieniak i think Maurice would have been a 'name' - wasn't he in Much Binding in the Marsh? Ed was just a jobbing actor with an American accent and not worthy of credit perhaps. He had a good voice and did a fair bit of v/o work, even The Two Ronnies at least once!

Materialism. Everyone wants more than they have we have become a culture of consumers that does nothing but buy stuff just to have stuff.
@Anime-Trash3 жыл бұрын
??? The point of the short is that society does things without examining the results of their actions. Scientists and big business sit in literal ivory towers designing items without thinking for themselves (computer does the work) and people down below buy and do things without thinking about the greater consequences outside themselves. Instead of cleaning up the cars and solving the issue, they refuse to change their worldview and instead put more cars on top of the pile. Consumerism/materialism is a tangential point.
