Technical Specs

Among the legends of Hollywood, George Pal takes his place as a true visionary, an innovator and showman who profoundly shaped the art of motion pictures. A peer of Walt Disney, Pal pioneered stop motion animation and went on to virtually invent the modern science fiction and fantasy film genres. Pal's extraordinary genius molded a dazzling array of films, which earned an incredible total of eight Academy Awards and left a cinematic legacy that served as formative inspiration for the movies of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Gene Roddenberry. This expanded collector's edition of the award-winning The Fantasy Film Worlds Of George Pal explores Pal's life and work from his ground-breaking Puppetoon shorts to his sci-fi milestones The Time Machine and The War Of The Worlds. Included are rare interviews with Pal and reminiscences from many of Hollywood's brightest stars and great filmmakers. Also included are extensive film highlights, culled from original 35mm prints using the latest digital masters from Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide, Houdini, Conquest Of Space, Tom Thumb, The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, Atlantis, The Lost Continent and other classics from the Pal library.
