World of Tomorrow (2015)
Fuck Bear Story, aka. the bullshit short film which seems to have hypnotized everyone into believing it’s greatness when it’s worse than most pre-film Disney shorts.
World of Tomorrow is great. It’s funny, bizarre, even surprisingly atmospheric at times. Most of all, I didn’t feel like a first grader being read a storybook by his teacher who proceeded to give him a sad lip pout at the end, which is even worse because the teacher who did said lip pouting is going to get an assload of awards and praise for doing nothing at all but telling a story with a fucking music box and not even attempting to try anything and I know that this is going to seem really really badly written but I’m in such a blind fucking rage that I don’t fucking care because I want people to know that the Oscars have always, and will likely forever be, on the wrong side of history maybe not every time but especially this time because I’ll likely always remember World of Tomorrow for being great but I’ll just remember Bear Story as that stupid, sappy, manipulative piece it really is I mean I didn’t think Richard Williams’ new film was anything special story-wise but it’s Richard Williams so it looks fucking amazing because he has fucking talent that extends past knowing how to badly puppeteer some bears across the screen and I know I’m trivializing the work of people here but I don’t care because good work goes into bad films constantly so there.
Yeah. World of Tomorrow. That guy from “Rejected” has come a long way. Or maybe not. I don’t know. Where’s the Tylenol…
