''World Of Tomorrow'' is a short sci-fi 2015 film by Creator/DonHertzfeldt, 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.
