Metropopular is an animated short film from 2001 about what the cities of America would say to one another if they could talk. The film was apparently produced by Dreamworks.

From the Internet Archive:

"Frantic about a popularity contest in which these cities are competing, they jockey for top position while arguing between themselves. Highlighting their separate personalities, each city had his or her own reason why they should be 'America's favorite city.' "

[Editor's note: The film is apparently only available online via the Internet Archive's Movie archive. To watch the movie, select one of the formats from the left-hand side of the screen. The files are large, and may take quite some time to start playing.]

At a much larger economic scale, however, one mustn’t avoid calculating the tremendous and exceptional externalities of automobile dependency.
