Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland : 5 of 5
6.24.2004
5:40 PM | Link
Each wave of Walt Disney Treasures DVDs has always included a title that looks at Disney history, and this Tomorrowland set looks at Walt's optimism about the future. The main features are the incredible Man in Space programs that were produced for TV, each with live-action and animated segments, and presenting scientific material in a truly fascinating way! Even though the science facts and predictions involve some pretty wild speculations, I still learned a lot from watching these shows (as long as 1950s science counts!) and loved every minute of it! There's a show on space travel in general, one on traveling to the moon (in which it's predicted that we'll need to build a space station first), another on traveling to Mars, a show on satellites and weather prediction (and weather control!), and an amazing show on atomic energy (and now I understand for the first time how a nuclear reactor works). As a super-huge bonus, this DVD set also includes the uncut EPCOT film, shot only two months before Walt's death, where he explains how his "city of the future" will operate. It's completely fascinating - I would love to go to work everyday on a monorail! Some great interviews are included as well, making this an incredible package of Disney history - possibly one of the best Walt Disney Treasures yet!
