Tomorrowland	comment	Tomorrowland is a 2015 film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and directed by Brad Bird and produced by Damon Lindelof. The film stars George Clooney, Britt Robertson, and Hugh Laurie, and is inspired by the Tomorrowland area found at the Disney Theme Parks. The first teaser trailer was released on October 9, 2014.In 1889 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, a group of visionaries put aside their differences to discuss how to make the future happen: Jules Verne, Gustave Eiffel, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. They established a secret society, known as Plus Ultra, to figure out how and where to change the world. Eventually, Tesla's experiments uncovered an alternate dimension, which would become their living laboratory: A realm that would become known as Tomorrowland. The Tomorrowland we know in the parks was a cover story/orientation space created by later member Walt Disney, who was also giving lucky Plus Ultra inductees the opportunity to visit the real thing via a portal hidden beneath the 1964 New York World's Fair installation of "it's a small world".In the present day, a young aspiring astrophysics student and daughter of a NASA scientist, Casey Newton (Britt Robinson), stumbles upon the secret when she is given a mysterious pin by a youth named Athena (Raffey Cassidy). She leads her to a jaded ex-boy genius named Frank Walker (George Clooney), who first journeyed to Tomorrowland at the World's Fair. Evading agents seeking to maintain a post-60s masquerade of Plus Ultra's activities, they set out to Tomorrowland to find just what's been keeping the world away from the future.A prequel novel, Before Tomorrowland was released in April 2015. It tells the story of a mother and son who stumble into a conflict between Plus Ultra, Nazi scientists and an embittered cyborg around the 1939 New York World's Fair.(Note: Tomorrowland is not connected with a Disney Junior animated series, Miles from Tomorrowland.)

Tomorrowland / int_129074bf	type	Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate
Tomorrowland / int_129074bf	comment	Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Besides the idealism debate, the level of inevitability the future has is a major plot point, with Nix being firmly on the Fate side of the scale, and Casey on the Free Will side. The events of the film, particularly Casey's ability to make the supposedly inevitable Apocalypse How future (which is itself a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy) "flicker" to a better one, and Athena changing a tachyon vision by Taking the Bullet for Frank, suggest that the Free Will viewpoint is more accurate.

A deleted scene explains that Nix was able to turn Frank's invention into the best clean energy source ever discovered, and it is now Tomorrowland's primary source of power. This neatly explains why he doesn't want to turn it off.

Tomorrowland / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Tomorrowland / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: You cannot extract DNA from hair. Hair is all protein. Justified, though; if there's a skin cell on the hair, it can provide DNA, and the scanner in question is from Tomorrowland (which is centuries more advanced than the rest of the world). Losing "90% of your blood sugar in 1/100th of a second" is survivable. The highest ever recorded in someone who survived was 2,656 mg/dl, and people are known to still be conscious at 27 mg/dl - let's just Hand Wave that powder Frank and Casey ate beforehand was some kind of ultra-tech "hyper sugar" meant specifically for this purpose. The catch is that climbing back up again is a living hell; Frank warns "You're gonna wish you were dead" but people usually have to lie very still for some time while their body assimilates the cup of honey or whatever they gulped down to save their lives - in many cases people have had to be hospitalized.

Tomorrowland / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
Tomorrowland / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer makes Casey's dad out to be a Jerkass Fantasy-Forbidding Father when in the actual movie he'sâ€¦ a NASA engineer who's facing unemployment as Cape Canaveral is getting closed down, but still is a loving and supporting father despite being left a tad embittered and bearing a somewhat fatalistic viewpoint over being on the verge of unemployment. His angry outburst seen in the trailer is entirely justified because he just bailed Casey out after she gets caught breaking into NASA and sabotaging the demolition efforts, and he plans to ground her for it. There's also an in-universe example that doubles as Leaning on the Fourth Wall a bit, especially given that some of the footage was also used in the trailers: The lapel pin that apparently transports Casey to Tomorrowland is actually playing a sophisticated interactive promotional short, and the real Tomorrowland is largely run-down and mostly abandoned. In relation to the above, one might view the trailer and get the impression that this was going to be a sci-fi movie about a parallel world existing on top of Earth Ã la The City & the City - and while it technically is, the movie is more of an adventure film that just happens to involve some sci-fi elements (the titular Tomorrowland only makes up a small portion of the story).

Additionally, the continued decline of NASA is a major part of Casey's story, with Neil Degrasse Tyson's "We Stopped Dreaming" speech being one of the major points of inspiration for the film's writers.

Tomorrowland / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Tomorrowland / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The pin is a reference to the pins sold at Disney Parks. Jetpacks were demonstrated at Disneyland's Tomorrowland during the 1950s and early '60s. Much like another Disney film about the future, Space Mountain appears as part of Tomorrowland's skyline. People have also spotted nods to Epcot's Horizons and the Disneyland episode Magic Highway USA. During the end credits, Space Mountain and EPCOT's iconic Spaceship Earth appear side-by-side as part of the landscape. Tomorrowland's transportation is run by the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, a nod to the Magic Kingdom's version of the Peoplemover. In a rather obscure reference, there is a scene where Frank and Casey sit under glowing trees which appear to be being used as a power source. This may be a nod to the Magic Kingdom's version of Tomorrowland, namely the in-universe Tomorrowland Light and Electric Company that uses metal palm trees as a light source. Plus Ultra's origins at the Exposition Universelle and their membership including Jules Verne, who's known as the Father of Science Fiction and inspired H. G. Wells (who, in turn, invented nearly every SF trope) brings classic Tomorrowland attraction The Timekeeper to mind, along with the much-loved attraction for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Tomorrowland / int_30d2ae29	comment	Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Discussed when Frank asks Casey a hypothetical question in which, if it were possible for her to know the exact moment of her death, would she want to know. Casey ponders this, thinking out loud about whether accepting your death would be what brings it about in the first place. She comes to the conclusion that the correct response is that she should know, but refuse to believe. This answer is what causes the 100% probability of doom to go down by 0.0006%. Frank later refers to the trope by name upon the discovery that not only is the Monitor, the machine Frank built, predicting the end of the world, it is also actually the thing that is making it happen. Governor Nix, in an attempt to prevent disaster, zaps the prediction into people's minds so that they can try to keep it from happening. Instead, it made people accept the idea and even embrace it, thus ensuring that the disaster does happen, much to his disgust.

Tomorrowland / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: Kind of. Governor Nix casually dismisses Casey as a "flicker" and in many ways, he's absolutely right. Her wide-eyed idealism only has the smallest of impacts on the probability of the world being destroyed, reducing it by less than a thousandth of a percent. However, this was the entire point of her character: She's just one little candle flickering in a sea of darkness, but as the old proverb goes, it's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

She later realizes that Governor Nix has been broadcasting apocalyptic images in people's minds, causing them to "feed the wrong wolf". Frank at one point describes the T-pin as "an invitation to a party that never happened." At the end of the movie, Frank says that they should "put the party back on and print out new invitations."

Tomorrowland / int_6bda9a30	type	Meaningful Name
Tomorrowland / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Athena, named after the goddess of wisdom, inspiration, artisans and strategic warfarenote (As opposed to Ares, god of violent war) among other things, who was born from the head of Zeus. She is the one who seeks out dreamers, encourages them to act on their ideas, and is a pretty decent fighter when she needs to be. She's also the one to come up with the final means to destroy the Monitor at the end. Casey's family name is Newton. Likely after the famous scientist Isaac Newton (although her father, Ed Newton, could double as a nod to Brad Bird's frequent collaborator Ted Newton). Her first name comes from Cassandra, the prophetess whose admonitions were never believed. Even more style points, Casey's name comes from Isaac, when spelled backwards is Caasi (pronounced as "Casey"). Hugo, the robotic proprietor of the Blast to the Past store is named for Hugo Gernsback, creator of Amazing Stories and the namesake of the Hugo Awards. His wife, Ursula, is named after Ursula K. Le Guin, winner of multiple Hugo Awards. David Nix. "Nix" means "nothing" or "to end." He's content with doing nothing to prevent the end of the world.

At first he believed showing humanity a possible apocalyptic future would scare them into trying to prevent it. However, he lost faith when instead of trying to prevent the apocalypse, humanity embraced the idea of it. How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? Even better, why would you want to interact with them in any way, shape or form? This is why the killer robots attempted to assassinate Casey, Frank and Athena; after it became blatantly clear that Earth didn't want to be saved, it was simply a manner of survival - if the nihilistic masters and masses could get to Tomorrowland, they'd almost certainly destroy it too. Secrecy was its shield. The robots were simply operating on orders received decades earlier.

While the founders of Tomorrowland went so far as to travel to another dimension to be able to work in peace towards a better tomorrow, once they found solutions to all the problems back home they decided not to share them, so essentially that "better tomorrow" is relegated to the tiny elite of Tomorrowland while the Earth is left to rot. Casey calls Nix out for isolating Tomorrowland instead of revealing the existence of the fantastical realm to the world as its founders originally planned and not doing anything to help prevent it; Nix reveals that they did try - just as people on Earth are trying - only to be rebuffed by the rich and powerful, who only care about business as usual and status quo. So he modified the Monitor to directly broadcast that information to the world at large... only for them to turn it into a genre, which they proceeded to idealize even as the signs of it approached. This drove Nix right past the Despair Event Horizon, which is why Tomorrowland turned its back on the world it came from.

Tomorrowland / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Literally all over the place when Casey visits the Blast From The Past shop, as sci-fi/fantasy collectibles of every type fill the place, and the Star Wars theme plays when Hugo steps out of his room. Notable are the figures of The Iron Giant and Mr. Incredible, since their films were directed by Brad Bird. The Monitor is essentially a disproportionate homage to the Trylon and Perisphere of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Some of the futuristic images during the end credits animation resemble images from either Metropolis or another film called Just Imagine, or possibly both films. And another image even seems to refer to The Jetsons. Athena adjusting her translator by turning a dial near her neck, during which her voice switches to speaking different languages, including Japanese, harks back to the scene with Dug the dog's translator collar in Up, from Brad Bird's colleagues back at Pixar. A very small, easy-to-miss one is during Athena's playback of her journal recordings in her final moments. The year of Frank's banishment from Tomorrowland was 1984, also the signature title among dystopia fiction.
