Am I crazy to JUST remember this dumb thing? It's something I saw on TV as a little kid....and it musta been part of a movie.

I'm assuming this has got to be some movie about stuff that will happen in the future, but from a LONG time ago. Maybe I was like five or six when I saw it. I actually love these sort of "this is gonna happen in the future" movies. Movies like "Things to Come", "Brazil", "Metropolis", etc.

So does anyone remember this dumb "baby vending machine" part of some movie?

I know what you're talking about, I remember watching the film several times. It is called "Just Imagine" and it was made in 1930, some say 1929. It was a story about "future life in the Year 1980."
