World of Tomorrow is a short sci-fi 2015 film by Don Hertzfeldt, and is the first of his works to be animated digitally. The story is told using a simplistic line-drawing style and is about a little girl who is contacted by her clone in the distant future. What follows is a strange mix of a young girl's blind enthusiasm and an ancient clone's robotic descriptions of the very doomed future.The film has received many accolades for its simple, yet deep and heartfelt presentation.In 2017 Hertzfeldt released a sequel, "World Of Tomorrow Episode Two: The Burden Of Other People's Thoughts", where Emily journeys through the memories of one of her future self's back-up clones. A third installment, titled "World Of Tomorrow Episode Three: The Absent Destinations Of David Prime", was released in 2020, and involves Emily sending a message through time to try and save her husband from his untimely death. | |

Black Comedy | |
| World of Tomorrow / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Much of the humor is derived from young Emily's blithe reactions to horrible news, like the pretty shiny stars that are actually dead bodies being burned up in space through failed time travel. | |

Clone Degeneration | |
| World of Tomorrow / int_38326b11 | comment |
Clone Degeneration: Emily explains that the clones get worse with each generation. The final David clone was in such a state that his line was ended. The Emily clone also seems to have more defects than she realizes, as she is prone to random eye spasms and is emotionally stunted in a way Prime!Emily is not. | |

| World of Tomorrow / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Inverted. At the very end, the young Emily is transported back before humans existed in a rather dark Brick Joke. Her smile slowly slips away as the shot holds for a long, long time. Just as we think the film will end with Emily stranded and left to die, she's teleported back into her own time and current home. | |

Time and Relative Dimensions in Space: Future Emily explains that time travel is still very unpredictable and extremely dangerous in her time: "If the position of the orbiting earth is not accurately calculated, a person can be sent off the planet. Many of our brave test clones are also still regularly crushed beneath the ground, or accidentally deposited hundreds of thousands of years into the past." | |
