Weird and Wild Disney Production

Fun with Mr. Future is a bizarre combination of live-action footage and traditional animation. Narrated by an animatronic robot head, the film purports to describe what the future will look like. This narration is intercut with humorous clips from old movies and what appears to be footage from Disney Theme Parks (this film was originally developed as part of an Epcot Centre exhibit), as well as animated sequences that are very reminiscent of Jetsons episodes. This all plays like a parody of a 1950s education film and is really quite funny.

A truely bizarre and utterly unique short film. No masterpiece, but fans of the absurd will enjoy it and it's certainly a curiosity for hard-core Disney fans.
