Product Description: Walt Disney was a true visionary, and his most far-reaching vision examined the future. During the 1950s, his investigation into space exploration and the wondrous opportunities and challenges of space travel not only came alive in several Disneyland TV shows, but helped create strong public support for The United States space program. Go back in time to the beginning of the future and enjoy four episodes and a theatrical short that delve into the mysteries of the universe and space travel -- "Man In Space," "Man And The Moon," "Mars And Beyond," "Eyes In Outer Space," and "Our Friend The Atom." You'll also get a rare look at Walt's last film, "EPCOT," in which he reveals his concepts and plans for the Disney World and EPCOT projects. Other not-to-be-missed features include a special interview with noted futurist and author Ray Bradbury. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful!
the item is amazing and arrived in perfect condition!
i absolutely recommend it! ;-)

excellent & quick
Even as a foreign customer I felt very comfortable with website and conditions of purchase. The item arrived in excellent condition, as quick as expected. Though as DVD from the US not specified for the region Europe it was no problem to run it on my PC, even with my standard-program Power-DVD. Nevertheless the warning at Your website as for this may-be problem was a fair one and I appreciated it very much, but taking the risk anyway.

I helped get this one made!
When Disney announced the "Walt Disney Treasures" series, starting with Mickey of course, I had just caught the LAST 10 minutes of "Mars and Beyond" on the Disney Channel's midnight "Disney Presents" show, with all the weird un-Disney-like creatures.
I thought of all the Disney science shows like that that I remembered seeing as part of the "Wonderful World of Disney" as a kid. THAT would make a great 'Treasure', since almost no one had seen them since. So I wrote to them and asked for that to be added to their list of releases. Then I figured I 'did my duty' but nothing would come of it...
Wrong! They actually wrote back and said they thought it might be a good idea. And they DID it! Cool! :-)
They just don't make stuff like this anymore. Such a great mix of science, futurism and fun cartoons! After this, the stuff from the Discovery, History, Science and PBS channels just kinda pales. And they have a _50_ year advantage! Tsk, tsk. ;-)
If you want to see low-res samples of the stuff from this series, try searching YouTube for:
"Disney Man in Space"
This one has a great short on a launch into space with vehicles more like what the Shuttle and Space Station SHOULD have been!
"Disney Man and the Moon"
Great cartoon about Moon superstitions and a 'real' moon trip SO much like Apollo 8!
"Disney Mars and Beyond"
This is the gem of the lot, with the 'Life on Earth' segment almost as good as that in Fantasia; a great cartoon of a 'generic' Mars invasion; the eerie 'Life on Mars' segment; and a great launch to Mars!
"Disney Eyes in Outer Space"
A great segment on how weather control might someday happen. (and when do I get the flying car I was supposed to have by now? ;-)

Disney space fun
While I agree with other viewers that the first disk of this two-disk set is the better, the overall package is an outstanding and still educational look at the science of space, the atom, and potential future society.
