Tommy and the Atom.

This Sterling Films production is an strange educational film. It was meant as a way to explain that Atomic Energy can have two faces. One for destruction and one for progress. But I don't get it. It has a deluded message that today could be unacceptable. 

But other things are the art and quality of this fine cartoon. I was looking for rare cartoons and get hooked with this strange cartoon and I would like to share it with you.
