Roving Mars: WOW! How did I miss this film?

Didn't know if you all knew about this film. It is coming to DVD, but I don't know if it was produced as an IMAX or theatrical release first. It sounds amazing, and back to the old wondrous real-world exploration stuff that Disney used to release in my childhood.

There is a trailer for it on that site that is worth watching.

Epcot fans should be especially interested. The "Mars and Beyond" 1957 featurette features Ward Kimball animation and was known to be especially impactful in advancing the support for our space program at the time... which itself, of course fed into Walt's concepts for EPCOT as a city of tomorrow.

(That featurette is included on the Treasures set, "Walt Disney's Tomorrowland" -- http://disneydvd.disney.go.com/moviefinder/products/3174903.html, which also includes the famous and rare "EPCOT" film that Walt produced to show his concept of a city of tomorrow....)
