In the 1940's we had cartoons that showed us "Tommorow"



I remember watching these on Saturdays at my mother's house in Miami, at age 8 or 9 or something. Sitting on that terrazzo floor, eating watermelons or chocolate or who knows what watching these, I remember being fascinated. So much so that they stuck with me. I watched a lot of cartoons. A lot. Today, one of my oldest childhood friend, Tati IM's me.

mayochup: lol
mayochup: are you seriously sitting around watching cartoon on youtube?
[T]: yes i was reminiscing with my friend
[T]: the old disney cartoons
mayochup: I always try to find those "house of the future" "Cars of the future" cartoons.

Then I suddenly realized these are probably gonna be on YouTube, and sure enough they were.

They made me laugh. Here's why:

  • The Stove - The bit about the window got me. I guess the fact that a 'window' in your oven a feature of 'Tommorow' is kinda odd to me. But then I looked into it. Turns out stoves looked more like the one here in the 40's. But, still windows in stoves being the cool new thing in 2075? That seemed a little extreme. Turns out the original narration was for 1975, but they changed it in post.
  • Tanning Bulb - Check. We've actually moved past those, towards Organic Spray Tans. Gotta love it.
  • Bacon Straightener - I want that. As Seen on TV.


Oh, the car of Tommorow. LMAO @ the "paris made model". Plunging neckline, superb. I wish they still made TV like this.

Words Of Wisdom

Both reading and writing are acts of supreme faith. They are both, in essence, a call to grace, a belief in the miraculous - that we might come to see through stories what we had not previously seen, that we might come to understand what had, before that moment, remained uncertain, undefined. The mask of fiction, of writing and reading stories, does not, in the end, disguise our faces but instead reveals who we really are. In the, stories acknowledge life's difficulty and sadness but insist that we go on anyway, that we always hold to our faith, to our belief in grace.
