Kingdom of Plastics - 1945
Archive.org - The Kingdom of Plastics: This early Technicolor presentation, sponsored by General Electric,
opens with a group of children playing blindman's bluff. Little Susie
is stumped because the object she's trying to guess is not from the
animal, vegetable or mineral kindoms, but her dad (an engineer) soon
sets her straight. It's from the "fourth kingdom," he explains -- the
kingdom of plastics. After reviewing the role of thermoplastic and
thermosetting compounds in history and World War II, this film ends on a
note of postwar positivism, as the narrator speculates about plastic
fabrics, shoes-of-the-future, and other man-made wonders of the world of
tomorrow. - General Electric / Handy (Jam) Organization
