A bit too fast for me.

This is like the classic Powers of Ten (1977; some IBM guys I think):

Also goes in and out of a geographic location.
Slower, but with a narrative that explains what your seeing.



My current favorite of this genre is (I think the guys who made this were in High School):

Unsightly text rather than narration, but way more informative. Self paced. Object not geographicly organized.
Things I like about this one are: that uses more current info, and its end points are more logical:
Large Scale: the limits of the observable universe (based on speed of light and age of universe)
Small Scale: the Plank Constant (theoretical smallest distance), quantum foam, and strings (theoretical entities at the lower lower limits of distance).
