Earth Star Voyager Opening Credits

[MrEriklenn]

I still have this movie on the night it was aired......I'm amazed the tape still works

[SAS712]

Hey can you try and find "Land of the Giants" ?? :)

[SAS712]

Oh boy! This brings back memories :) Reminds me of big bulky TV sets with those 2 channel Hi-Fi's and oh yes, the VHS :) hahahah grew up watching this....I used to call my Commodore 64 "Priscilla: :D lol! Thanks for the upload AngusMacDal :) Cheers!

[therikerp]

My mother recorded this for me the night it aired, then recorded over it a few years later. Then, last year, a friend of hers finds a seller online who put it on DVD. Great quality, commercials removed, and the intro with michael iesner also removed. 3 hours running time. Great movie that disney should have released, even if it was supposed to become a series.

[MegaTimeTraveller]

Well looks good but was only 1 when it was on though.

[TheMasterTasuke]

damn, i grew up with this movie!!

i watched the hell out of my copy, taped by my mother for me,

back during it's original airing. my copy is still perfectly playable,

only problem is that it was REC. on my mother's LINEAR STEREO

1987 HITACHI VCR, and as such, the SQ is QUITE rank.

i see from this upload that your copy is as pristine

as one could ever hope to find. i'd like to ask you if you might be willing to part with your copy.

also, can you point me to an MP3 of the opening theme?

[TIMBOKIP]

OMG !!! I used to watch this wen i waz little..... They shud remake this!. Thank God Internet waz invented ...

[lordmerlin10]

@GeorgeNeedsBush Whats wrong with Stargate and Andromeda?

[rangeclerk]

@lordmerlin10 "mindless scifi television" the series you refer to are preteen sci fi tv shows and do not even make a blip compared to the TV original sci series such as TWLIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, STAR TREK (org series)--if those series had the kind of money the ones you mentioned they would still be running on TV! Face it; after STAR TREK the original---writers went for the 'cheap' and campy---today they do not even use professional sci fi authors but a stable of studio writers---

[lordmerlin10]

@rangeclerk maybe those shows were better but stargate had 3 series with the main show lasting ten seasons with over 5 million worldwide..star voyager never came close..Smallville might have been a mediocre series but it still lasted ten seasons with over 5 million viewers worldwide..in the end its not quality...its quantity

[xcomcmdr]

@lordmerlin10 well, it sucks monkey balls.

[Drez26]

Oh my god! I have this on tape! the whole thing! (used to call it the "Spaceship Movie" :P )

[Digikid2007]

I remember this well. Wish i had a mp3 of the song.

[Podracers57]

Je kiffe <3 j'étais qu'un gosse quand le vaisseau spatial passait d'un côté à l'autre de l'écran avec la musique de Lalo, et aujourd'hui ca me fait toujours le même effet. Comment obtenir une VF ? Grand mystère à l'heure actuelle...

[SlimTwisted]

Is that a shuttle I spy on the bottom of the Earth Star Voyager? If I'm not mistaken, it never detaches in the film right?

[pilotsim]

@SlimTwisted They don't show it detached but didn't they go down to that planet and had a thunderdome type battle?  I would have thought they would have taken that little shuttle.

[SparkyLen]

I always thought it was a real pity that it got dropped after the pilot... it might have made for a fun and interesting series.

[thuncat1]

i knew this existed!

people thought i was crazy.

i remembered the pilot but, not the name.

thank you!

[ninjatrixx]

@thuncat1 Haha, same here! Proof after all these years... what a relief.

[danielzur26]

The theme music for "Earth Star Voyager" is absolutely fantastic! Lalo Schifirin, who composed this music, is known worldwide as a master composer. If Disney had just put a little more effort into the show (more racial diversity, better special effects) I could have seen "Earth Star Voyager" becoming a series on Disney.

[LepantoElReal]

It may be a bit kitsch, but I adored the theme tune when I was a kid!

[lordmerlin10]

I wish Disney would try again to remake this show better. Fix the mistakes. i wonder how the show would have gone if it went for 2 or 3 season. Proabably across between Battlestar Galactica (old) and Voyager

[encoreunesteph]

un film que je revois encore et encore!!!

[nico83330]

Tu l'as sur ton ordi? Je le recherche désespérément en francais. :(

[lostfan1978]

looved the show when i was young,it drove my mom nutz everyday i would ask her :is earth star voyager on tonight is earth star voyager on tonight?

when it stoped airing i blamed my mom ,i actually tought she called the TV station and told them to stop airing the show because i was a bad girl!

ahh the mind of a child!lol.

[orosz022]

The intro is very short, this is not the whole

[WCWite]

LOL I have been trying to think of the name to this mini-series FOR YEARS! I remember watching the first part thinking it was one movie and than being shocked to see TO BE CONTINUED at the end of the show. I was around 7 or 8, wow this is awesome to see it again! Thanks for posting!

[kuchark23]

To all who are interested: my brother and I started the "Earth Star Voyager is better than Star Trek and Star Wars put together" fan club on facebook. Please feel free to join.

[Akirajay38]

yeah it dosent look that way to me pal, and yeah this show was probobly awesome to kids and tweens,but i say Lost in Space could run circles around this show, Trek and Wars included

[Blackwolff9]

@Akirajay38 :The first season of Lost in Space was very good! It had a great start with the promise of lots of intrigue and drama. This was all heightened when it was filmed in black and white. But when they went color,CBS decided to go the monster/alien of the week and to portray Dr. Smith as a fussy mischief maker,rather than the evil mastermind that he was originally. It could've been better than it was if CBS hadn't treated it as kid stuff.

[nico83330]

Un film que j'ai toujours en vhs mais il manque 10m n de la fin

[origin47]

I just remember they ate purple hamburgers and when they lifted weights it was little suction cups on their hands

[pilotsim]

ha that opening shot is the only shot they have of that ship. They could have at least mirrored that shot and made it look a little different.

[pilotsim]

Its too bad this didn't get picked up as a series. I thought it would have done well, i mean its no startrek but was fun for us 80s kids ;)

[JediMichael2003]

I love this movie when I was young and still do, Love to get it on dvd.

[eviltwit73]

oh - awesome - thank you! - i taped this off the tv when it showed - i think i still have it somewhere in my pile of VHS's - great - this and Flight of the Navigator, which was another great Disney tv special

[netdeco]

It seems to be running slightly fast. The tempo is a bit quick and the pitch is up...

[copacabana1971]

Great fun to see this again. I remember watching the whole thing back in the day. I wanted more, but never saw this (or any more of it) again. If it were on DVD, I'd buy it.

[bjbutterrolls]

I have this and flight of the navigator on the same tape. Ah, the 80's.

[deliciouspear]

I SO just had a flashback to 6th grade!

[williamfungschwarz]

I'm a geek, I loved this movie.

[SeniorQuack]

FANTASTIC!

gave me chills to see this again!

[aztekarrow]

Yeah I remember this

[digipeeper]

This was only a t.v. movie that was to be used as a pilot but luckily for Disney they did not have to produce the series due to ratings!

[locutus625]

Wow, this theme music desperately needs more cowbell.

[olivierandre56]

Ce film me fait retourner en enfance. Je me reprends à penser à faire comme dans le film...quitter la terre pour une nouvelle planète. Ce film avangardiste propose une réalité ecologique qui pourrait peut-être se produire d'ici 80 ans. Nous ne sommes pas capable de préparer ce genre de voyage...Protégeons notre planète.

[RikusPlushie]

Oh my God, I loved this movie growing up! I have the biggest crush on Jonathan!

[gdsuffern]

This show was AWESOME. I remember my mom having to preview it before we watched it because it was "intense" for us as little kids...haha...and us sneaking with the babysitter and watching it while we recorded it! Oh man...memories. Why can't we get a copy?!

[lordmerlin10]

Does anyone know why Disney pulled the plug

on this mini series? What went wrong and why did they not try to retool and fix it?

[Nabelnoir]

@lordmerlin10 Because the mini-series didn't pull in the numbers that Disney wanted so that this could be a financially feasable series. This was but one of a butt-load of pilots that came out in the mid to late eighties that failed to get off the ground. Disney had hoped to not only have a weekly series made of this show but add some real science content in it so that it would be a little more than mindless scifi television.

[peca33]

I have this on Video too. It was filmed here in Vancouver on the expo site. Some is still standing today and some is now the home of the 2010 Games olympic village. I saw them film some of this and still to this day think it would have made a geat Series

[JinxP617]

Yo this movie was cool for it's era. It was an 80's new Sci-Fi experience just didnt do all that well. I mean it's Disney they could only get so open back then.......Take it for what it was back then. THEY SHIZNIT!!!

[browrai4]

I'm sorry but i loved this show as a kid and I have the whole series on VHS. IF i find it I will post the whole thing

[PoPoNellie]

Wow, I forgot just how cheezy the opening for this movie was. God, that music is horrible. I remember when this came out Disney had high hopes this might become a series but alas, they found other projects to invest in.

[Nanoforge1]

Agreed, all that cheezy synth drum nonsense and those horrible wireframe heads popping up on screen. What were they thinking.

[Rodimus78]

I take it you guys haven't experienced the 80s american TV culture...have you?

[hcvang]

Oh boy. I dont see how anything done by Disney could possibly have the nerve, the good storytelling, or the drama that Babylon 5 has.

If this is much better, then I wonder why it never got past the pilot stage? LOL

[PoPoNellie]

Yeah, as much as I thought it was an interesting concept, it didn't have the moxy or the maturity of Babylon 5. That and it owed much to old scifi tropes of the 60's and 70's especially the enviromental scifi themes.

[Rodimus78]

But Disney did had the balls to distribute a show w/ all the qualites Babylon 5 promoted on our TV tubes. Would you like to know what Disney show I'm talking about?

[perigord]

I have been waiting to see this again for more than 20 years. thank you, thank you, thank you!

[hcvang]

Please ... You're gonna tell me that this kid-fare is better than Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactiva, or Star Trek? *pff!*

[Nanoforge1]

Yes please give us a kiddified Disney future with all the lovely anglo peaches and cream cast members and no racial diversity what so ever. I remember this haveing a little potential to be a decent show but they squandered it with the adults playing kids tropes and overtly Disney like sentimentality.

[Rodimus78]

Mister, don't be such an elitist. Nothing is better than the other. It's better to accept SF shows PPF as equals, not rejects.

[Jediferret]

This is very awesome! I loved this movie! I also had it on VHS. Sadly, I let a friend borrow it and haven't seen it since. =P Brings back memories though. Thanks! ^_^

[angelanamraka]

I remember this film. It was rery good.

[JBLClark]

Awesome! Upload anything else you can! Thanks!

[danielzur26]

Please upload the whole video! I loved this miniseries as a kid and would love to see it again!!!

[styreen]

What I can remember from this series I didn't care for.

The music is an entirely different thing altogether.

What a smash! In the 80's I recorded that one on tape from a VHS recording; it always got my heart started early in the morning on the way to University.

Thanks for posting.

Kind regards.

[Spacepoliceman]

this is still one of my favorite movies, adored it when I was a kid, it was my first introduction to sci-fi.

[aadailey]

buddy... pal... you have the whole show?

please please please... could you up-load whole show?

thanks for the intro.

[atrac88]

Yikes! Those hairstyles! The cast looks very...Canadian. At any rate, a nice opening theme and some cool effects by Richard Edlund's Boss Film Corp. (RIP!).

[PoPoNellie]

Perhaps because it was shot in Canada. They made full use of the Expo86 pavillions that were still standing to give a futuristic representation of Earth buildings and such. The majority of the cast I believe were American though.

[Nanoforge1]

Well there is one Canadian cast member here that looks so much different in this than he does now. I'm talking about the character Leland Eugene played by Bruce Harwood. Everyone that is a fan of the X-Files knows Harwood as the Lone Gunman John Byers.

[DEANMARITA]

pity this never got past pilot episode stage. I was 9yo when this came out and I remember dreaming about being one of the ship's crew.

[ralph90009]

I vaguely remember seeing the first half of this when I was a kid and missing the second half. I kept hoping they'd replay it... but they never did. I'd like to see it now... wonder if it'd hold up.

[digipeeper]

I wonder why Disney won't release this gem on DVD.

And whats the chance of showing the whole movie on Youtube.

[mjc177]

Best Disney miniseries that no one ever saw.
