Viaje Interplanetario (Leave Evil For Good, Spanish, 1955)

This animated film appears to be a satirical science fiction comedy centered around a professor named Manolín, who has invented an interplanetary spacecraft powered by a "rebanátomus" engine. A journalist interviews him about his invention, but the situation quickly devolves into chaos as the journalist ends up orbiting the professor's canoe and the spacecraft is stolen. The story then shifts to a planet ruled by a totalitarian regime where two individuals are apprehended for space violations. They are spared disintegration when their identities as a journalist and a scientist are revealed, leading to them being treated as guests of honor. However, these guests soon escape, revealing the dystopian nature of the society, which boasts constant work for all, a life that feels long rather than extended, and a rigged system of equality, all under the watchful eye of a maximum leader. The film concludes with a scene of citizens being forced into manual labor, particularly in mines, and a humorous attempt to entice someone with the promise of a good time.
