Synopsis

Claude is a little boy who, while busy working on some kind of electronic box, is constantly berated by his father and mother. They walk by the busy little boy, saying: "Claude, you will never amount to anything." Not swayed by this verbal taunting, Claude finishes his invention. He pulls the switch, and Mom and Dad disappear into nothingness.

Comic relief for kids with parents

WesJune 1, 2012

I remember seeing the full four minuets of this film, I can't remember when but I imagine it was in the seventies in either mid school or hs and it has stuck with me to this day. I think it is a very good cartoon for kids with over critical parents. It makes light that the parents are only critics and don't really do anything at all where as claud is building and designing something extraordinary... Pokes fun of the whole thing at the end when it consumes the entire planet and him with it. Comic relief for kids with parents who are over critical or have psych problems.
