For example:

Title: Fantasia

Type: Animated movie

Vibes: Classical music, abstract animation, comedic moments, divided into short segments, no/minimal/unimportant plot

Good Trip Qualities: artistic melding of music and animation, movie is a compilation of individual, unrelated music videos that viewers can enjoy in bite sizes or skip segments that aren't appealing

Harsh Qualities: the final segment "Night on Bald Mountain" features creepy/demonic imagery that some might find disturbing; to avoid, stop watching the movie after the segment about ballet-dancing animals ("Dance of the Hours")

Other: Also worth checking out the sequel, Fantasia 2000

Title: PBS Eons

Type: Youtube Channel

Vibes: Science, archaeology, paleontology, ancient earth, bite-sized chunks of information (about 6-10 minutes of content per video)

Good Trip Qualities: Fun for the science-enjoying layman, good pacing, good balance between staying accessible and being detailed, lots of "whoa I didn't know that" moments and topics, less fluffy than standard nature TV shows

Harsh Qualities: The outro (final 1-2 minutes) can be a bit jarring/boring/cringe (also super easy to skip), topics covered inevitably include themes such as death and extinction but it's handled tastefully, the series may be too brainy for those on particularly intense voyages and not brainy enough for those well-versed in the topics covered

Other: Part of PBS Digital Studios (check out for similar videos on different subjects) http://youtube.com/pbsdigitalstudios

Title: Houseki no Kuni (English: Land of the Lustrous)

Type: Anime TV show

Vibes: Beautiful, fantasy, philosophical, action, wistful, far future/alternate reality

Good Trip Qualities: Gorgeous animation, solid soundtrack, unique setting and premise, conducive to multiple rewatches, soft fantasy world-building, mysterious

Harsh Qualities: Mild body horror and fantasy violence, the animation style (CGI) takes some getting used to, occasional weird/jarring moments, the early episodes are hard to appreciate without having finished the entire series

Other: Read the original manga for a more tour de force vibe and to continue the plot. Unfortunately a season two of the anime has not been announced at this time.
