Fun with Mr. Future

About This Movie

So, 'Fun with Mr. Future' is this quirky blend of animation and animatronics that’s just odd enough to keep you intrigued. The setup features a talking-head Lincoln, voiced by Phil Proctor, which gives it a peculiar charm. The humor is light and family-friendly, making it accessible, but there’s this underlying whimsy that feels very much of the early '80s. The pacing can get a bit uneven, bouncing between educational moments and playful gags, but that’s part of its charm. The practical effects are simple but effective, adding to the overall nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a curious piece that reflects a certain innocence and curiosity about the future, making it stand out among other family animations of the time.
