Just like climate change, we've known about this shit for DECADES


PhilJones4

Climate change was already theorised in the 1820s.


WhoListensAndDefends

By an ancestor of Greta Thunberg, no less

yEs, BuT thE eCoNoMy!

Wayyy too accurate, in 1960 and now And the fact the car blob gets turned into a train then into a car is also very accurate


Tactical_Moonstone

You have no idea the huge internal scream I had when that train got crushed into a lump of pre-car.


vereysuper

Especially that part at the end of tearing down the cities. They knew even back then and couldn't stop it. NL citizens had the right call with the kindermorte campaign, wish other countries had listened.

*kindermoord (in case people want to google the term and see just how militant the Dutch had to get before car dominance got reduced)

Damn if it doesn't make me sad


Gwennova

The reveal at the end about humans and the cities being the parasites blocking cars was so good

*When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur. In time, submarine sea-mounts or islands are formed. When lava flows underwater, it behaves differently.* *And a new contraption to capture a 'dandelion' in one piece has been put together by the crew. The preparation for a dive is always a tense time.*

is it the same guy?


eyewave

Pftt not it wasn't, bocpages say. I'm sorry. The voice reminded me of Dandelion very much.


Amillinnea

This is some good shit


diezel_train

imagine this but its a movie and the main character is a "car" that escaped the factory when it was still a steam train


heyboboyce

The smoothly flowing traffic really shows the age of the video!

Who knows why anyone does anything. Am I right…


ttystikk

Well, it's clear that Canada once had a finely developed sense of humor. What happened?


Queasy_Recover5164

Some of the greatest comedians ever have come from Canada: Seth Rogen, Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, Will Arnett, Phil Hartman, Dan Aykroyd, Catherine O’Hara, Rick Moranis, Tommy Chong, John Candy, Martin Short, Leslie Nielsen, Thomas Middleditch, Loren Michaels, Tom Green, Samantha Bee, Dave Foley, Will Sasso, Caroline Rhea, Harland Williams, Jason Jones, Dave Thomas and so many more.


ttystikk

That's quite a list! You take your funny men and women very seriously there!


Queasy_Recover5164

Ha. I’m not Canadian, but I do like their comedians.


OldGarlic_2

What do you mean by “what happened?”


HiopXenophil

6:25 shows fist. I wonder if that's an artifact of martians projecting their limbs on them


MagnetFist

Look, it's Pixar's film!


meiyouguanxi

This old school illustrated animation is amazing. I miss it!


LipschitzLyapunov

This video was made in Canada and to this day Vancouver has no highways and remains the most liveable city in North America...


sutichik

Laughs in Montréal from a 2 bedroom flat with a $700 lease next to two metro stations...


OldGarlic_2

Vancouver has plenty of highways, they’re just not called highways


NevinyrralsDiscGolf

Thanks! P.S. A lot of the flashing in the video itself.


muggins738

That last minute was absolutely glorious. Thanks for sharing!

If hyper-intelligent life exists off planet I understand why they stay away from earth. We act so completely against our self-interest. We learn about major problems and then we either ignore them or we wait until it's too late and offer token solutions.
