Going Places (1948): A Cold War-Era Animated Short

Описание: "Going Places" is a Cold War-era animated short from 1948, aimed at promoting the idea that increased productivity leads to greater purchasing power. The film follows a young boy who dreams of escaping the drudgery of helping his mother make soap. He believes that inventing an easier way to produce soap will allow him the leisure to do anything he wants. However, the boy finds himself continuously competing with others in the business, never truly able to enjoy his success. This animation provides a unique, albeit dispiriting, perspective on capitalism and free enterprise, wrapped in amusing and well-crafted animation.
