This video has been floating around on the web for a while, but I thought it was time I included it in my uploads, since so many people have come to rely on these videos. It’s still amazing how many people have not seen this – the whole presentation, “The Unchained Goddess”, which comes as a two-fer with “Hemo the Magnificent”, which was part of the same series – is worth viewing. (Netflix has it) For one thing, Frank Capra directed. It’s not clear who came up with the idea of speaking to and dialoging with mythical beings on topics of modern science – but it certainly resonates in the post Joseph Campbell mind. There were some pretty wild ideas floating around in the 50s. We just thought they looked normal because of the cute animation.
