I love the whole style of this film. It feels a bit like what Gerry Anderson might have done if he'd got into steampunk, there's a real charm to it. Also, AIR TRAMS!
To all the people that criticize the "logic" of flying bikes with wheels or an anchor in space, etc. etc.... you CLEARLY missed the point of a "futuristic" film envisioned from the standpoint of the 1800's and have no clue of history or the "logic" that you dare speak of. GOOD FILM!!! GOOD JOB!!! IMAGINATIVE ANIMATION STYLE!!!
"The moon is now a colony of Gwait Bwitain!" So awesome! Please! Will someone make a full length animated movie from this? 0:31; "Ladies and gentle-MEN!" And when the guy's monocle pops off his eye when he hears the word, 'horrify'! Is anyone else watching this in 2018?
"Tha mune is now a colony of Gweat Bwitain!"
Terry and Tim Burton should get together on this one.
Terry Gilliam doing steampunk. A childhood dream I never knew I had has been fulfilled.
I can remember Tim working on this way back in the mid 1980s, before "Steam Punk" was even a thing! Tim invented this style single handed. Glad it's finally getting somewhere. What an amazing artist he is.
This is too bloody brilliant to be an animation test!
Dazzling! A celebration of the imagination! That's what it's all about!
I like this kind of steampunk. Not everything is dark and gothic.
That's something I've never understood. The Victorian Era was all about optimism for the future, but almost all steampunk media is gloomy.
Victorian Era isn't all about glory and sunshine, to working class and lower who lived in filth and contaminated environment(like somewhere in China now), they can't share the happiness this era posses.
Jasan Chou I know, but even the darker parts of steampunk media don't focus on the poor. It's usually just a plain "dark" story about a "dark" person.....being "dark". Rarely the poor. That would actually be interesting.....
What I'm trying to say is that it seems to not focus on the actual time period, just antique ascetics. Just look up "steampunk" in Google images. Do any of those people look like lower class workers or jolly adventurers? The factory workers or the pith-hatted colonizers? All I can see are models in improbable dresses.
EpicLuigi24 First I want to say that both you and Jasan Chou make value points. Now if you like I can suggest (and provide links for) a steampunk web comic and/or a steampunk short film that is available on CZcams. Both are of a lighter side of steampunk I think you are looking for, but I will make the suggestions if you are interested.
netwolfe Sure, sounds interesting.
EpicLuigi24 Okay. The short film is called Tea Time, (Full title of the Video: "Tea Time" Steampunk Short Film) it’s about eight and thirty-six seconds long. To avoid spoiling too much I’ll just say the plot is about an inventor. The video was posted by the CZcams channel J. Derek Howard. Here is the link.

The webcomic I would recommend is Girl Genius. Follows the adventure of woman who is a mad scientist. Okay, the term they use is that is a spark, but for all intents and purposes, sparks are mad scientists. But she’s a good mad scientist that helps people.

Brilliant as always Terry!
I absolutely LOVE this....I can watch it over and over...I wish I could be there Full steam ahead!!!!!
The coal powered projector reminded me of when I started teaching.
"terry gilliam". well,......there you have it.
Anyone else reminded of H. G. Well's The First Men in the Moon from this.
“Good evening, ladies and gentle-MEN.”
In the 10+ years since I first saw this short, Ive probably thought of this line at least once a month.
Anyone else get recommended this after watching Last Exile? Great recommendation CZcams. I'm ok with this.
The mouth 👄 moving along with the sound, which is known as voice work or lipsynching, whatever... Is top notch! 😍
Superb. Terry Gilliam is one of the few true artists of the film industry, in my opinion.
✨ When this film was made and it was betraying the Victorian era the British empire was very powerful and it seemed they were the ones who are going to pass the American and the other Europeans in the future but the puppet show was my case was short but it was still a good story line and I did enjoy the scenery of the film 🦅
That Master of Ceremonies character reminds me of Steve Oedekerk's Thumb movies
cool, i'm glad to know the history of the moon colony i live in
... hey, you look kind of familiar. Didn’t we meet on the moon colony?
most delightful, and i love the pig n whistle airship pub :) i'm posting with giddy jubilation.
it just goes to show, no matter what time period you come from, people always imagine the future with flying cars.
I like how 1000 years after we still aint got nothing even close to this stuff...cept the blimps and spacecraft
Totally wonderful!
This is funny as hell! That's one weird "future" they have. Good job!
This is Tim Olive's work - totally his. Terry Gilliam has put his name to it to help get it financed.
Thank you stranger, this is the first time I had heard of this???
Best wishes from one one maker of miniature marvels to another... SUBSCRIBED! 🏆⚒️🇬🇧
It was the 'Steam Motion Projection Transmission Engineers' back then...
...
Beautiful work!
Brilliant!
Love the animation style.
A masterpiece! I like how the imagined 1884 is but a slight exaggeration of the real 1884.
In The Adv of Baron Munchhausen they sailed to the moon. SAILED! Imagine that? Takes some special something to fully appreciate the anchor you mentioned and the concept of sailing from Earth to moon on a ship... nobody does this kind of fantasy anymore.
The final funding is being put in place and we hope to begin production with a full head of steam very shortly. It's been a long haul but the moon wasn't conquered in a day after all.
That was adorable! Loved the animation. :)
Just Beautiful!
If Aardman had done "Jasper Morello"...
(seriously,this is fantastic.It should be a feature!)
I guess this film needs a guardian angel because studios may be shying away from Gilliam as his last few films have all bombed badly (like opening and closing in a week in spite of Gilliam promoting them himself). Terry needs a breath of fresh air like this.
Tell her to make one then and upload it so we can see. Because so far Mr. Gilliam is the winner.
WOW! The future looks AMAZING! Thanks Terry!
OMG I STILL LOVE THIS
Nicely done, I love the old fashioned Marionettes as characters. -
This was GREAT ! Did you know that phonograph needle goes back to 1878 and film is 1885. They used glass before film to make picture's.
Terry Gilliam has done a lot of steampunk: Baron Munchausen, Brazil, Erik The Viking, Time Bandits...to name a few. When I think of steampunk in movies I first think of him.
GOD, I love Alternate History!!!
I hope they really do make this movie!
Outstanding dieselpunk short film you have there!
cool.
BRILLIANT.
.

Ive never seen this. I LOVE it
looks much better than that other trailer
Yesterdays future; as it might have been today!
Awesome
very amusing :) and I like the animation style, the way the people move reminds me of marionettes, or those antique wind-up toys (like the cymbol-clanking monkey and others)
funny thing is, a steam-powered space shuttle is actually plausible (in zero gravity, at least)
@MikeTaylorLives
as a huge Gilliam fan ever since Brazil, i am just seriously concerned. he definitely should check out what's been done in Steamboy, a bit childish yet beautifully and masterfully executed animation.
very Georges Méliès type, well done.
Don't be stupid... of course it would, it simply drags into the luminiferous ether and latches onto any pockets of phloginston
I'd buy a ticket to that.
Great video
epic win for art!
That's the myopic humans in a nutshell. We can only foresee a future modeled after what we know. The now isn't at all like it was envisioned to be 60 years ago. And so it will always be.
@wosuh
It's a Terry Gilliam work. You know, the guy who did the animated bits for Monty Python and went on to produce "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"? It's a joke in the sense that it's deliberately silly, but Gilliam treats his work quite seriously.
Love it!!! More Please!!
i've never seen anything like this. i love it.
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a good steam punk / diesel punk author.
I called CarMax. Still no flying cars.
This was great! I love these "retro-future" ideas!
I really enjoyed that, but with the allusion to the 1930's "Frankenstein" intro, plus the live actor's mouth on the animated figure, it reminded me of Steve Oedekerks' "Frankenthumb". Not a bad thing, just interesting.
Terry, you were always a "steam punk" at heart...beginning with BRAZIL, of course! :)
I have one critique for this - the 'futurists' of yesteryear generally assumed that the "gadgets, contraptions and vehicles of tomorrow" would be as artistically and ornately advanced as the technology. So, whereas the futurists of the 1950's and '60's all pictured everyone in the future wearing shiny mylar jumpsuits, the Victorian and pre-Victorian futurists envisioned all things technologically advanced being richly baroque. Including fashion designs. I did not see that in the characters.
Amazing! So charming, wondrous!
Great Stuff , Keep Puppets and Models Alive :)
And that's it?
Seems to be a promo...but the end is a bit confusing...and we haven't met any protagonists....but definitely a super production....I hope to see more.
So Terry Gilliam did this?
How does the description match up to the actual video though? Is this only a preview? If so, where can I find the full picture?
That would be nice...
absolutely spot-on observation!!...
Fun!
Okay, just got here 11/17, now where did this go? C'mon, Gilliam, snap out of it and do more of this. (Or should I be looking up Tim Olliver?)
fun to watch, wish the story were longer.
terry gilliam...the"demented american" of the pythons. hip hip---hooray!
nice
@musketeersteveliddle
I recon you hit the nail on the head, sir...
Not to us, but imagine yourself as someone from the Victorian era - at that time they still didn't believe man would ever fly, let alone make it off the planet.
Steamfunk....
Wow, this was really good! I enjoyed every second of it :)
I can assure you that the dates are the only similarities. No royalty check this time I'm afraid.
I just has a steampunkgasm!
love this video. Saw it when it first came out. He's a mad genius!'
they still make bovril D:
Anyone know what happened to this film? I've never seen it in cinemas or for sale anywhere.
Haha,,,how cool.
Before the wright brothers made their first flight, in 1890, a man called Clément Ader managed to make a steam powered flying machine that flyed about 50 metres, but it was uncontrollable and unuseful.
i love his tongue.
fabulous
To some one living in 1848 it could very well have been horrifying.
ausome keep up the good work, love it!
