Kimballesque Animation

Jerry Beck at Animation Scoop was kind enough to send this along:

... This sequence was in the earliest edits of the [the upcoming Tomorrowland], inter-cut with live action actors responding to it. However, I was told, for timing sake the piece was cut out of the picture and is being used for promotional purposes.

It was designed and animated by Teddy Newton, Dan Jeup and Andrew Jimenez; done in the manner of 1940s-50s Walt Disney educational films and in the spirit of Ward Kimball's Tomorrowland TV segments (Man In Space, Mars and Beyond, etc). ...

The Paul Frees/Orson Welles style narration is delivered by (allegedly) Maurice LaMarche.
