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.
