If you have not watched the animated short, "The World of Tomorrow" you really should.

It has a very pointed reference to the potential horrors of having your mind uploaded by someone who is trying to control costs.

No, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Tomorrow_(film)

The child's doodles make it seem like a lighthearted thing. It is not.

A grownup is attempting to explain some fairly dark things to a very young child. Mercifully, the child cannot absorb what it is being told. You may not be so lucky. But there is some biting social commentary and the absurdity of the whole thing makes it work.

I saw this a while ago and I haven’t been able to remember the name for the life of me, thank you. It’s a really, really good short.

The creator has a Vimeo on-demand page, where I learned he's turning it into a trilogy.

I respect the work enough (I expect it's even harder to make money on short films than feature films) that I didn't bother tracking down any free copies. I know some people will, but I don't have to help.

I saw it on Netflix, but I doubt it's still there.
