And it did look like there was some protein synthesis somewhere in there ... But I'm not sure what all the other things are

I'm guessing the walking things were enzymes stepping their way down DNA or RNA. I think the rings are messenger RNA. I could be wrong about both of these things. We definitely need a director's commentary track to let us know what's going on. I found the whole thing amazing and gorgeous.

So... that was animation based on electron microscope photos? It wasn't actual footage of the inside of a cell, right?

Oh wow, rivka, thanks! That one with commentary was a lot longer too, I think. Those are great! Thanks!

Hmm. We watched this in AP Biology earlier this year. The musical version was more entertaining, but less edjakashunal.

Yeah, I think the ideal way to view it would be first the musical version, then the narrated, then the musical again.
Too bad I don't teach bio any more.

After watching the narrated version, I realized how much cellular biology I've forgotten. Quite a lot
