3. Walt loved corporate sponsorship. Hell, he even had a tobacco

shop on main street.

8. thanks The_Casual_Observer

I didn't know, I just remember the cartoons :beer: , so he was another one who had sold his soul to the devil.

2. I saw a preview for this when I saw Narnia this weekend

Ahhh, censored infotainment brought to you by the military industrial complex.

4. I hope Mickey makes an appearance in a space suit

he's soooo cute :eyes:

5. Hmm.. I'm torn on this.

First of all, there are no IMAX cameras on Mars. That's the only image I care to see projected in high-def. Second, why does Disney get to profit on a tax payer funded mission? Other that that, it looks like a nifty film.

6. I hope they mention the word "Evolution" so I can stand-up in the theater

... and yell, "Blasphemer! Heretic! Kill the Heretic!"

[tinrobot]

7. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'd much rather see my box office dollars go to something that promotes science and research rather than the latest action flick, which promotes violence and war.

Besides, the Mars Rover data is free to all. Disney is just being smart and repackaging it.

9. Butbutbut... LOCKHEED EVIL!

10. Um....

If they don't have IMAX cameras on the rovers why are they making an IMAX movie about this? I thought the idea of an IMAX movie was to make the audience feel that they are actually there (wherever there is) by filming things with an IMAX camera.

11. "Roving" Mars....

Are they going to suggest that Mars has a black baby and isn't really the 4th planet from the sun (maybe not even a planet at all)?
