Title: Fantasia

Type: Animated movie

Vibes: Classical music, abstract animation, comedic moments, divided into short segments, no/minimal/unimportant plot

Good Trip Qualities: artistic melding of music and animation, movie is a compilation of individual, unrelated music videos that viewers can enjoy in bite sizes or skip segments that aren’t appealing

Harsh Qualities: the final segment “Night on Bald Mountain” features creepy/demonic imagery that some might find disturbing; to avoid, stop watching the movie after the segment about ballet-dancing animals (“Dance of the Hours”)

Other: Also worth checking out the sequel, Fantasia 2000

    Title: PBS Eons

    Type: Youtube Channel

    Vibes: Science, archaeology, paleontology, ancient earth, bite-sized chunks of information (about 6-10 minutes of content per video)

    Good Trip Qualities: Fun for the science-enjoying layman, good pacing, good balance between staying accessible and being detailed, lots of “whoa I didn’t know that” moments and topics, less fluffy than standard nature TV shows

    Harsh Qualities: The outro (final 1-2 minutes) can be a bit jarring/boring/cringe (also super easy to skip), topics covered inevitably include themes such as death and extinction but it’s handled tastefully, the series may be too brainy for those on particularly intense voyages and not brainy enough for those well-versed in the topics covered
