About This Movie

Machen im Jahre 2001 alles die Maschinen is a curious piece of animation from 1968 that captures the anxieties of a rapidly mechanizing world. The narrative follows a boy who, in his mischief, breaks into a computer station, leading to a comical yet chaotic series of events at a cooperative farm. The film’s tone dances between lightheartedness and an underlying tension about technology overtaking human skills. Its practical effects lend a certain charm, while the pacing keeps you engaged without feeling rushed. It’s a unique snapshot of a time when the future seemed uncertain, offering a blend of cautionary tale wrapped in playful animation. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors looking at the theme of technology’s impact on society, if you catch my drift.

This film is a bit of a rarity in the animation section, not commonly found in mainstream collections. Its distribution was limited, and copies in good condition are increasingly hard to come by. Collector interest seems to be growing, particularly among those fascinated by early depictions of technology and its implications. It's a distinctive piece that definitely sparks interest during discussions, especially with its blend of humor and cautionary themes.
