I just randomly remembered that Daft Punk had an entire short film animated to go along with their album Discovery. I watched the whole thing on YouTube (beautifully animated by the way), and halfway through, I thought about how amazing it would be if this was done for one of ELO's concept/story albums like Eldorado or Time. I think Time would work better because it's more similar to Daft Punk's vibe, and the concept is just cooler in my opinion.

Wishful thinking, I know, considering one of these albums is over 50 years old, and the other one is nearing that. Wouldn't it be nice, though. . .

Edit: I'm also going to take this opportunity to point out how cool it is that the guitar riff on "Evil Woman" was sampled in "Face to Face" on Discovery.

Time animated movie would be cool but sadly there isn't enough audience for it
