Dan sez, "A nice Populux movie from Monsanto about the X-shaped House of the Future attraction at Disneyland. In the future, we won't have fridges, but 'cold zones' that descend from kitchen cupboards at the touch of a button; our plastic dishes will be washed with ultrasound; and best of all, we will have a nice view through our plastic windows of Sleeping Beauty's castle."
The Monsanto House is one of my favorite lost Disneyland attractions, the epitome of goofy, futuristic industrial optimism. The fridge even had a compartment for "irradiated food!" The plastic materials were so hardy that they reportedly stayed fresh and clean looking for decades, despite the trammelling of millions of feet, and the legend has it that the wrecker's ball just bounced off of it, necessitating deconstruction by force majeure (e.g., a blow-torch and chainsaws).
