The Space Explorers (1958)
I have loved this undiscovered Sci-fi for 40 years!
A truly undiscovered classic! Being in direct communication with the current copy-right holder, I was graciously provided the opportunity to see it again on VHS tape after forty years... and I loved it every bit as much. I don't know how this has fallen through the cracks. As an educational and motivational film it was ahead of its time. I first saw this film when I was five years old, and was glued to the TV set for each new episode.
If MGM, TriStar, Columbia, Universal, TriMark, Warner, Paramount, Turner or somebody rediscovers this animated cartoon they will surely want to grab it to see that it is re-released it on DVD someday.
