Just before the end of the cartoon, his water engine blows up spectacularly. It was a shameless promotion for General Motors and the Combustion Engine, but it did provide commentary on viable, if (then) distant energy alternatives. And it did it in the best Disney tradition, with genuine laughs, whimsy, and intelligence.

Anyone remember the Dreamer's Workshop? That's where we would've seen things like the Skateboard car concept...
