  The World Tomorrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following the 1939 World's Fair in New York the broadcast was renamed The World Tomorrow following the theme of the fair which was "The World of Tomorrow".
"The World Tomorrow" concluded with an early Hollywood-produced music jingle over which Art Gilmore gave the program address, which varied according to the country that it was being aired in, or where its broadcast was intended to be received.
Both the radio and televisions of The World Tomorrow invariably informed their audience how to receive the church's magazine, The Plain Truth, the content of which was largely similar to that of the broadcasts.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a film released on September 17, 2004 in the United States.
Some of them are not simply homages/easter eggs, but also hint that the world of Sky Captain is actually a crossover world where several fictional events and elements like Shangri-La and King Kong, coexist as actual facts (a universe similar to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
The War of the Worlds (1953) was produced by George Pál (the second of three H. Wells science fiction stories to be filmed by Pál) and directed by Byron Haskin from a script by Barré Lyndon, and starred Gene Barry, Les Tremayne and Ann Robinson.

 The Zero Point: The World Of Tomorrow
At the end of April 1939, the New York World's Fair opened to the theme of "The World of Tomorrow." The organizers, businesses and countries, sought to cast off the Great Depression and wow the world with miracles of technology that would transform our lives and bring the future right into your home.
But the point is, the actual world of tomorrow had nothing to do with the popular dreams of the future, or how many countries Britain could give away to Germany, and everything to do with the darkness confronting the world at the time, namely Hitler's utterly inimical designs and Japan's quest for empire.
The world is changing dramatically right now, and hysterical experts twitter about a hypothetical decrease in the Antarctic krill that might conceivably possibly happen so far down the road there are unlikely to be any Italian or Japanese enviro-worriers left alive to be devastated by it.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
The story is set in a very cinematic 1930's world based on classic science-fiction.
This is the kind of world where the characters could go head to head against King Kong, see dinosaurs in the Lost World, get shrunk down and go on a "Fantastic Voyage," or even have a "War of the Worlds" against some flying saucers.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Of course, SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW is also a brilliant exercise in synthetic filmmaking, one in which, the actors were photographed in front of blue screens; interacting with simple props and one another, while the film’s extraordinary backgrounds were completely realized in the digital domain.
In fact, the storyline perfectly captures the essence of this lost form of movie entertainment, moving from one exciting moment to the next, as though it were building cliffhanger after cliffhanger, in a multi chaptered tale that would keep its audience coming back to the theater week after week.
The Art Of World Of Tomorrow is an eight-minute program that looks at the film’s stylistic influences and how the drawings are ultimately brought to life on the screen.

 Filmtracks: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Edward Shearmur)
Named appropriately after the motto of the 1939 World Fair in New York City, the film takes the style of an old serial and uses every modern technological method of movie-making to glorify it for a new generation.
With the pace, instrumentation, and themes of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow remaining so consistent in their swagger and enthusiasm, these inspirations become blindingly obvious by the latter half of the score.
Shearmur's employment of chorus and electronics are sparse in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and perhaps had he chosen to employ them --or perhaps more varied instrumentation-- the less uniform score would be able to better entertain even the more cynical film music collector.

And while the world of politics is distant and almost unreachable for most of us, democracy isn't; it's as much a part of our lives as we decide to make it.
So basically, rather than just give a leftie cartoonist a small photo credit, he steals the picture and goes to the trouble of changing a red traffic light to green, flopping the image and altering traffic signs, all presumably in a clumsy attempt to give himself some sort of imagined plausible deniability.
NADER: I think he likes Bush, because Bush is playing right into his hands by inflaming the Islamic world with that crazy invasion of Iraq that's picking off our troops, draining our billions of dollars, and in effect, a magnet for more terrorism.

Famous scientists around the world have mysteriously disappeared, and reporter Polly Perkins (Paltrow) along with ace aviator Sky Captain (Law) are on the investigation.
Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a pastiche of everything from "King Kong" to "The Wizard of Oz," a movie that escalates to a breathless cliff-hanger every 20 minutes or so and reinvents itself with every reel.
Other than the actors, their costumes, and a few props, everything in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is digital illusion, and the effects are often exhilarating.

As it is, it is a very good film that is lots of fun until it kind of runs out of steam just shortly before it runs out of film.
In the meantime, some of the world's most brilliant scientists are disappearing.
After the freshness of the film previously, (and yes, a film that is lovingly retro can still be fresh), it's sort of sad that the movie falls into this old hackneyed storyline.

 The World of Tomorrow (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
from New York, NY John Crowley's documentary about the 1939-40 New York World's Fair recreates both the majesty and the low comedy of one of the greatest public relations triumphs of the century.
Robard is impeccable in his careful narration of the memories of an old man, trying to recreate the escaped glory and promise of the Fair of his youth.
The optimism of the Fair--with its ubiquitous motto, "I Have Seen the Future"--is undercut at every turn both by the knowledge of the impending failure of Western civilization (in the form of World War II) and the long-term loss of the promise of a better world.

Hearing all this alongside the horns is difficult to describe but suffice it to say this that the band do a good job of bringing together a few different worlds to present something very much from a world of tomorrow.
