Amen! I am a wide-eyed 73-year-old today, constantly amazed by what was considered fantasy or cutting-edge in 1950 is "old-fashioned" or real today. Heck, up until 1960, some teachers and "responsible adults" still insisted that space travel was fantasy and that man would never get to the Moon. In the animation industry, the first two- or three-minute CGI films to catch professional animators' attention in the 1980s were widely considered curiosities that would never replace traditional hand-drawn cel animation.
