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).

During a flight, passengers confront their aspirations, frustrations, fears, wishes and fears, mixing up reality and fiction. 　　Several characters board a plane: a soccer team, a football manager, a decrepit old man, a group of nuns and an advertinsing girl. Dreams, delusions, ideas and concrete situations related or not an individual to another. Archive scenes of war, famine and religious pilgrimages interleave to a mythical woman Nature. 　　fiction, 35 mm, pb, 95 min, based on sequences in the chapter "O delírio" of "Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas" de Machado de Assis. 　　Fernando Cony Campos supported originality in artistic creation. He conceived it in terms of proposal, perspective, viewpoint, style, means and whatever could help form a distinctive vision. As personalities like Jean-Luc Godard or Glauber Rocha had emerged, it was up to the filmmaker to seek an alternate path to theirs, though he might fall short with the possible geniality of either. 　　This proposition alone would enable us to bring him closer to the experimental sensitivity which would eventually explode at the end of the 60s. The contact points, however, exceeded the merely shared principles. Although largely a result of a poor, long, full of setbacks production, “Voyage to the End of the World” already had in the midst of its original design elements which distinguish it as one of the immediate precursors of “Udigrúdi”. Particularly, the overlapping of various levels of enunciation and of various forms of contemporary language gradually destroys the idea of a narrative, even a sophisticated narrative as the one presented by the New Cinema directors. 　　Furthermore, if the ideological universe of the film still enables its inclusion in the group of the New Cinema, there’s a refusal to purely and simply condemn the means (or media), as they are away from mass culture. Counterculture may be alienated, but it is expressive in its constituents and particularly indicative of a state of things. Political disillusionment coexists with the chaos of the inevitable transformation. Not surprisingly does the work develop from the casual meeting of a pocket book of “Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas” at a newsstand and continues incorporating fascism, consumption, mysticism, poverty... and, in an innovative, emblematic way, ”Tropicalism” (the film is full of that movement classics "Joy, joy", "Soy loco for ti America" and "Tropicália".) 　　At some point, you hear a possible self-definition of the work: "The biggest error in this movie is you, you viewer. You’re in a hurry to grow old. And the film goes slowly. You love the direct, nourished narration. The regular, fluent style. And this film and my style are like cypresses which turn left and right, move and stop, mumble, bicker, laugh, threaten the sky, slip and fall. And they fall."
