{{quote| "Capricitous califrag Morgan M. Morgansen stood in the longroom of his fourwalls, narcissising himself in the doubleglass. He horizontalized his neckbow and let a long stream of air out of his facehole. He was ready to lothariate. Or at least, ready as he’d ever be."}}
 
''Morgan M Morgansen's Date with Destiny'' and its sequel ''Morgan and Destiny's Eleventeenth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo'' are short films produced by hitRECord, an online production company run by [[Joseph Gordon -Levitt]], who in addition to editing and directing the Morgan M. Morgansen films, plays the eponymous Morgan. Despite their short running time (''Date With Destiny'' runs at 5:23 and ''The Zeppelin Zoo'' tops out at 6:55), both films are notable for their fanciful animated imagery, steampunk setting, and weird, made-up wordplay narration.
 
The films follow Morgan, a chaplinesque [[Nice Guy]], and his romance with the lovely [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Destiny]] (played by Lexy Hulme). Other characters include the [[Grumpy Bear|Food Penguin]], Destiny's pre-now lovebuddy [[Jerkass|Lionel]], and Destiny's purr-pet [[Cute Kitten|Madame Ballofur]].
Line 15:
* [[Funny Animal]]: There's a cat-person orchestra in ''Date With Destiny''
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The [[Antiquated Linguistics]] allow for a lot of this.
* [[Gross Up Close-Up]]: The "bloody bunny baby" in ''Date with Destiny'' and the [[X Onon a Stick|mice kabob]] in ''The Zeppelin Zoo'' are drawn with distressing detail.
* [[Lemony Narrator]]
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Morgan, who loses handily in a fight with Lionel.
Line 25:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The collage-like visuals are lush with detail and funky old-world designs.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Probably the most notable feature of both films.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: The Food Penguin ships Morgan/Destiny.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Charlie Chaplin]], ''A Trip to the Moon'', and [[Lewis Carroll]], to name a few.
* [[Slippery Skid]]: Lionel slips on kabob'd mice.
* [[Steampunk]]: The world Morgan and Destiny live in.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: ''“Merry pre-night” tittered Morgan. “You look verily procreational”.''
* [[Zeppelins Fromfrom Another World]]: Appear in the background of ''Date With Destiny'' and is the setting of ''The Zeppelin Zoo''.
