Disneyland: Mars and Beyond, 1957

Disneyland: Mars and Beyond, 1957 An episode of Disneyland which aired on December 4, 1957. It was directed by Ward Kimball and narrated by Paul Frees. This episode discusses the possibility of life on other planets, especially Mars. It begins with an introduction of Walt Disney and his robot friend Garco, who provide a brief overview. It continues with an animated presentation about mankind seeking to understand the world in which he lives, first noticing patterns in the stars, and developing certain beliefs regarding the celestial bodies. Theories from scientists and philosophers are discussed, including Ptolemy's inaccurate, but formerly-accepted theories, as well as those of Copernicus. Life on other planets is considered, soon focusing on Mars. Ideas from science-fiction authors H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs are brought to life with more colorful animation. Pulp science fiction comics of the time are parodied in the same straightforward tone as everything else (this segment features Kimball's comic tone and a cameo appearance by Donald Duck).

Georges Méliès: Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) 1902

Georges Méliès: Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) 1902 Viaje a la Luna (A Trip to the Moon) was the screen's first science fiction film. It draws from the Jules Verne story and the works of H. G. Wells. The film was 14 minutes long, but this was considered to be a full length feature as movies at this time were shown between live vaudeville acts. It has great special effects for the time and some of the ladies of the Follies Bergere as "lab assistants". User: spam_vigilante Mar 1, 2003 5:39 PM
