RARE 16mm Disney Technicolor featurette\"EYES IN OUTER SPACE\"(1959)
Eyes in Outer Space originated in theaters as a half-hour featurette in June of 1959 and was later shown on the Disneyland TV show. By this point, several satellites had been launched and Sputnik became the first man-made object in space in 1957. The show begins by talking about how these satellites will be used to understand the great forces of nature and predict weather. The first segment talks about how weather can affect our personality, and how we have tried to predict weather over the years using superstitions. It features exciting animation with jazz music showing how weather is linked to the Earth’s water cycle. Using their imagination, they talk about how weather satellites will be launched changing the face of weather prediction in the future. They do this through a live-action re-enactment of a fictitious worldwide weather center of the future. In this segment, man uses rocket technology to control the path of a hurricane from this center. I have to admit this last segment was kind of disturbing, but it reflects how people back then believed technology would give them the power to do positive things (even if by today’s standards, they might not be positive).
