==========Synopsis=========================================

Leonard Maltin introduces (1:18) Walt Disney's "science-factual"
programs as a forerunner to the educational and instructional shows
that populate public and cable television these days. Maltin explains
that Disney put a lot into these programs on space travel, intending
them for a broad audience in the 1950s.

Man in Space (March 9, 1955) (51:15)
In a 2-minute introduction to this piece, Leonard Maltin briefly
discusses Disney animator Ward Kimball's impact on the series, for
which he was director and producer. He also explains the reception
to this episode. He reveals it was later edited into a featurette,
accompanying Davy Crockett and the River Pirates and meriting an
Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Short. As the title
implies, this episode looks into the potential of people traveling
to space.

This new series is launched with a brief, and often light-hearted
history of experiments with rockets. The possibilities of satellites
are considered. And then a practical look at what a spaceman shall have
to physically and psychologically face: momentum, weightlessness,
radiation, and perhaps space sickness. These animated sequences on the
spaceman are most inspired, providing a factually accurate and visually
amusing fashion. The episode concludes with a simulation of a launch into
space.

Man and the Moon (December 28, 1955) (54:43)
The first twenty minutes of this episode are highly enjoyable. Man's
fascination with the moon is explored, in a variety of lighthearted ways.
With basic, appealing animation, the moon is considered in terms of
cultural beliefs, the moon's role in Shakespeare and children's rhymes,
lunar superstitions, and scientific research. From Kepler to Cyrano de
Bergerac, from Jules Verne to green cheese, a delightfully wide range of
perspectives are covered with a fast pace and a great sense of humor. An
array of animation techniques are employed, from simple line animation to
drawings meant to look like children's art.

After this highly inspired first third, Ward Kimball comes on with some
information on the moon, supplemented by graphics. Kimball then introduces
Dr. Werner von Braun, who discusses plans for a trip around the moon. Though
effective efforts are made to make this not feel like a lecture, it still
comes off much dryer and information-based than the spirited opening. Braun's
hypothetical runthrough of a voyage to the moon becomes a narration of some
detailed and interesting artwork. Eventually, a live action simulation from
inside and outside a rocket dramatizes what such an expedition might be like.
The episode ends with a preview of next week's episode "When Knighthood was in
Flower" (the 1953 film released theatrically as The Sword and the Rose) and the
feature film The Littlest Outlaw.

Mars and Beyond (December 4, 1957) (54:25)
Garco the Robot introduces Walt, who introduces this exciting episode of
"Tomorrowland" which covers life on other planets.
We begin with a history of man, who seeks to understand the world they inhabit
and begin to notice patterns in the stars. Mankind begins to develop certain beliefs
regarding the celestial bodies. Theories from scientists and philosophists are
covered. Ptolemy's inaccurate, but accepted theories, and then Copernicus.

Then life on other planets is considered. Some wonderfully imaginative imagination
depicts the theorized inhabitants of other planets. Soon, Mars becomes the focus of
this episode. Ideas from 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. As the segment plays out, you can see
freedom in the production, Ward Kimball's comic tone, and even a cameo from Donald Duck.

After this, the program adopts a more serious tone as it profiles each of the planets
in the solar system, from the perspective of what would happen to a man on them. Life
in Mars could almost be normal, the program declares. Something that is of increasing
importance for the future, we're told. Dr. E.C. Slipher, a foremost Mars authority,
discusses the red planet and the possibility that life is there. More animation speculates
what the conditions in Mars might be like. This section is filled with striking, inventive
and decidedly atypical Disney animation. The program wraps up with what a trip to Mars
would entail for a space crew and its vessels. Over the end credits, Old Yeller is advertised.
