郭凡是新生传播公司的企划部主任，因老板常独断独行所以很不得志，原本由公司外制的一个电视节目收视率急降，电视台有意收回内制，公司其他各部门对郭凡交相责备，郭凡灰心之至。他大学时代的女友许映霞得了“工业技术成就奖”安排庆祝会，郭凡弼怀着情，想起自己仍毫无建树，更是自卑不已。就在庆祝会当天，孙以仁弱于授权郭凡执行当初由他而被否定的“大远景”节目更加充实，为了节目更需要郭凡举用许映霞为节目主持人，公司内部原先极力反对，但最后收视率证明了郭凡的决定完全正确，而且许映霞在一夜之间似乎成了观众的偶像。郭凡与映霞的感情日益增进，但由于映霞成为传播界的红人，过多的应酬与奉承使她茫然，连原本的电脑工作也荒废了，甚至连回去探望父亲的时间都没有。郭凡力劝不从之下自责不已，他觉得“大远景”虽然成功，然而却使电脑工作损失了一个人才，而传播界却多了一个空壳的偶像。最后，透过父亲以及节目中所播出的那些平凡的伟人的启示，映霞终于深切体认了名利的虚无与郭凡的真诚，而在节目中千万的观众诉说了她的抉择。

以下是来源于IMDb上的评论 　　'Voyage into Next (1974)' is a quaint little anti-war statement, the sort of laid-back, hippie-inspired short film that one would expect the 1970s to have produced. But it was also directed by John and Faith Hubley, a husband-and-wife animating team whose work is more subtle and understated than most. Many of the pair's films were produced by animating unrehearsed conversations (usually) between two people, and I had previously enjoyed their 'Windy Day (1968),' which excellently utilised this free-wheeling technique. 'Voyage into Next' was obviously more tightly-scripted, and that the film was to be an anti-war cartoon restricted the voice actors (namely Maureen Stapleton and Dizzy Gillespie) in which conversational paths they could take. Stapleton and Gillespie play Mother Earth and Father Time, respectively, as they observe the destructive conflicts waged between the human nations (represented here as floating boxes) and ponder why our species so unthinkably forgot the virtues of sharing that allowed our ancestors to progress beyond the Stone Age. 　　There's nothing particularly impressive about the Hubleys' style of animation – minimalist line-drawn human figures highlighted with soft shades of colour – but their style is distinctive, later influencing short films such as the Oscar-winning 'Leisure (1976).' The two well-known voice actors are perfectly chosen (Dizzy Gillespie has one of the coolest-sounding voices ever), and the jazz musician's music is employed successfully to create the film's lighthearted mood, despite the grimness of the subject matter. Mother Earth and Father Time oversee their lilliputian creations, hidden amid mini puffs of artillery smoke, and contemplate their inability to alter human history. The future, it seems, is not in the hands of the gods, but in our own. Of course we have the ability to achieve peace and mutual understanding once more… but will we attain it in time? 'Voyage into Next' was nominated for an Academy Award in 1975, but lost out to the inferior claymation 'Closed Mondays (1974).
