I saw this movie twice. First in 1985 in Epcot Center then again in 1990 in the Magic Kingdom, when Captain EO was playing in Epcot. This movie is pure magic and most of it is owing to the great theme song, which I recently learned was written by the great Sherman Brothers. Thanks for sharing this piece of my youth. Even this poorly captured footage is priceless and worth keeping and sharing. Thanks again (now please hand me my 3D glasses!).
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been looking for this film forever. I haven't seen it since I visited Disneyland at least 26 years ago. It's amazing how much of it came flooding back to me, though. The music, the dandelions, the children running through the field, etc. It's exactly how I remembered. The song definitely stuck in my mind, too. It's so eerie and wistful. Such a lovely film. I wish it was available on DVD.
Actually it played at Disneyland the second half of '84 until New Years '86. The Magic Eye Theater was finished so DL played it while Captain EO was still being filmed/produced.
This was the second attraction I trained on at Disneyland in '84. Truly haunting track and truly hypnotic is right. An interesting attraction to work as shifts started late because the Space Mountain stage was still outdoors and they couldn't start it until it was dark. A memorable summer for sure.
I LOVED this 3-D movie when I was a kid. I'd give anything to be back in that theater again, watching this great and creepy movie. I wish there was a better version of it available.
The music is the product of Robert and Richard Sherman, the geniuses behind so much incredible Disney music (including my personal favorite, 'It's a Small World."
I would like to thank whoever posted this video. I was looking for this for many years and it brings back so many memories. I would really like to see the Kodak sponsored pre-show if anyone videotaped that also...
THANK YOU!!!!! I would be amazed if this were ever transfered to bluray via Disney. I love the music, production quality, etc........very cool.
I even debated trying to get permission from Disney to do an arrangement for my jazz band (I am a high school instrumental music teacher) combined with our chorus. How cool would that be??? :) :) :)
Oh, not to mention...I am employeed by Disney :) On-Call Musican (no joke), I am a sub for the mainstreet phil at the magic kingdom, and I have played during Food and Wine Festival for the Four Tops at Epcot....
Wow haven't seen this in soooooo long, first time I saw it was when I was 5 in 1989 in Fantasyland (where Philharmagic is now) haven't seen it since the 90s and I still miss it...remember when Chip and Dale in Working for Peanuts came right before this film? Haha great memories, thanks so much for posting!
Looks like something by Colossal Pictures (It is by Colossal Pictures.)

Every time I see this movie, it makes me sad because so much of the magic is now gone from Disney World. It was once a very magical place.

Me too! It's been so long ago. I only saw it once but I memorized most of the lyrics and it's stayed on my mind ever since. Beautiful.

I know the Sherman Brothers wrote the song but I wonder if Wendy Carlos composed the music.

I don't know, but whoever did it is a musical genius.

Sorry, wrong answer.. Disneyland had a 3D Mouseketeers / Mickey Mouse Club movie in its Fantasyland Theatre in the late 1950s..

I like the version of the song on the Epcot soundtrack tape. Though this version certainly is trippy.
