Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and people who need a good giggle, this one's for you. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 3 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The salutary tale of a genius mathematician who discovers that mankind is heading for environmental disaster. Ignored by all, he sets out to prove it — however the proof, represented by “a little black box”, is taken up by those previous doubters and exploited.
