Indie animation legend Don Hertzfeldt has this month released WORLD OF TOMORROW: THE FIRST THREE EPISODES on home media. Marking the director’s second blu-ray collection following on from 2016’s It’s Such A Beautiful Day/shorts package, the release focuses on the trifecta of half-hour films that have kicked off his ongoing WORLD OF TOMORROW series as well as an array of bonus material. Embraced by audiences and critics alike and described as “what might be the crowning achievement of modern science fiction” (The Film Stage), Hertzfeldt’s latest series of films follows such similarly acclaimed work as his independent feature It’s Such A Beautiful Day, the graphic novel The End of the World and a successful shorts filmography including the Academy Award-nominated Rejected.

Also included is the animated short film INTRO, a 32-page booklet, a deleted scene, and a new animated special feature called ON MEMORY.
