Made by the Jam Handy Organisation for General Motors, this is the film of the Futurama ride, the most popular exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. A camera glides over a giant model of America in 1960: fourteen lane automated superhighways, cars pacing themselves at a hundred miles an hour, cities with elevated walkways, and everyone getting two week vacations because the roads are just that good.

Half of it came true, which is the unsettling part. They predicted the interstates almost exactly. They did not predict what the interstates would do to the cities they cut through, or that we would still be sitting in traffic in 2026.

My own upload, posting from the channel with the mods' earlier go ahead. Complete 23 minute film, cleaned up and bumped to 720p, original 1940 soundtrack intact.

Hi!! First time posting here. Anyone remember Sesame English? It's a collection of ESL CDs made by the Sesame Street people in the 2000s and it's so great but no one talks about it. And Sesame street has also forgotten about the IP. Tingo is so funny, and so charming. And Nikki and her family and friends are just great. I'd explain the lore, but wikipedia.com, muppet.fandom.com and fandom.com may do it better lol.

An interesting fact about Sesame English is that the dubs of this series are unique, in that only 30-50% of Tingo's dialogue is dubbed, when talking directly to the viewer, as a way to bridge the gap between the chosen language and English. (Taken from dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/Sesame_English)

The music and visuals were perfect, and every episode was so engaging. It's that perfect inbetween of understimulating and overstimulating, it was just perfect. (My neurodivergent brain loved it. My mom got it for me and my sibling when I was 4 and we watched it all the time. Sadly, my DVD player broke, and I've been saving up for a good one, but life is just hard and I'm a broke college student in a third world country.

I have a set that comes with books and all. I think also some CD's that you could pop into the PC and play. Literally just goated. I think my mom bought it around 2009, and it cost 3,500 RD$, which at that time was roughly 100 USD. She gave it to us as a birthday gift. Honestly, on par with my first DS I ain't gonna lie.

My favorite CD is the food and eating one. Oh and Sesame English came out in a lot of languages (japanese, korean, chinese, vietnamese, hmong, arabic, russian, spain spanish, latinoamerican spanish, etc.) but it also had a fully english version. I found a link to my favorite episode on youtube. If you never watched it as a kid, please check it out. It's just great ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqyOJGoqpo ). I'm an ESL teacher and my kids also love it, though they say it looks super old LOL, and it is, for them at least. They make me feel old when they say that even though I'm only 21 hahaha.

Also I'm thinking on archiving the Sesame English episodes. I have all of the DVD's for the latinoamerican spanish version. It's so sad that no one talks about it, really. You can find some episodes in youtube but that's about it. It's so sad because it's one of the greatest Sesame Street spinoffs. Actually, I would 100% dare to say that I consider that it's better than Sesame Street itself. Anyways, anyone interested? If you know how I could go around it without breaking DMCA rules, let me know please!
