Watch this James Bond animated short: an amazingly brutal bootleg
We all know that James Bond is timeless, as the secret agent who remains the same age throughout the decades. But what would happen if the 1960s version of 007 grew old into a senior citizen, trying to stay relevant in a "self absorbed and impersonal modern world?"

Fittingly, it's Skyfall that melds the old and the new together in a modern day Bond perhaps better than any other.
