World of Tomorrow Production History

Hertzfeldt had long been interested in science fiction but hesitated to make a film set in a genre partly due to not wanting to be confined by it, noting, "it always seems to mean having to tread at least a little bit through overly familiar waters." Still, aspects of science fiction appeared in his film It's Such a Beautiful Day and his graphic novel The End Of The World. He felt that the science fiction genre would specially make sense for his first foray into digital animation. The design of the film was influenced by science fiction novels and magazine covers of the 1950s and '60s, and by Hertzfeldt wanting the film to have a storybook aesthetic.
