‘World Of Tomorrow Episode 2’ Trailer Brings You The Burden Of Other People’s Thoughts
One of the best films of 2015 was only 17 minutes long.Don Hertzfeldt’s brilliant, funny, heartbreaking animated shortWorld of Tomorrowpacked more nuance and emotion into its brief running time than most feature length films, and received an Oscar nomination in the process. Now Hertzfeldt is returning to theWorld of TomorrowwithWorld of Tomorrow Episode 2: The Burden of Other People’s Thoughts, and there’s a new trailer to get you excited. Watch theWorld of Tomorrow Chapter 2trailer below.
Don Hertzfeldt rose to prominence with his series of animated shorts calledRejected. The funny, strange stick figure based animation, broken up into brief snippets, went viral back in 2000, being shared to the point that most people were likely aware of the animation while perhaps not knowing who Hertzfeldt was. Hertzfeldt continued making shorts, and moved on to make the animated feature filmIt’s Such a Beautiful Day. His true masterpiece, however, was 2015’s surprising and delightfulWorld of Tomorrow.
World of Tomorrow Episode 2 trailer
InWorld of Tomorrow, a young girl named Emily (voiced byWinona Mae) is visited by a clone of herself (voiced byJulia Pott) from another era. The clone takes the younger Emily on a trip through her future, the journey unfolding in a mix of Hertzfeldt’s traditional hand-drawn animation style and bright, vibrant computer animation.
World of Tomorrow Chapter 2:The Burden of Other People’s Thoughtscontinues Emily’s story, but to reveal more would give away the film’s power. Take my word for it, though,World of Tomorrow Chapter 2is funnier, more emotional and even better than the first film, while also opening up the world Hertzfeldt created in the original. The new trailer gives very little away, and is very quote heavy with critics issuing much-deserved raves about the film. Of the film’s subtitle, Hertzfeldtsaid:
