This is quite an interesting class science film, made with many types of animation and exploring many subjects probably so students at the time wouldn't get bored. We start with a very colorful and contrasty tableau of green plants which bring to mind many early Russian color films (which I'm sure the producers were trying to achieve). Then it delves into a somewhat boring scinece gobblydook of science for a while, but do not worry, as it starts to get interesting again with it's stop motion animation and then a brief exploration of dinosaurs. All in all, a somewhat interesting piece.
