"Waltopia"

You may or may not know that the EPCOT area of Walt Disney World in Florida is just a mere sliver of Walt Disney's grand original concept for a working, planned model "prototype" community. This is a 24-minute Quicktime video of a presentation of the original EPCOT plans. It's fascinating, and it also happens to be the last thing Walt Disney recorded before his death. I have my doubts as to how the original idea would have actually worked out in reality, but as a person who's still bummed out about how non-futuristic this future we're in actually is, I have to respect the guts and imagination it took to even plan such a thing. If I can't have my flying car or meal-in-a-pill, I at least want to go to work in a PeopleMover.
