A triumph of film art, creating on the screen a vast, awe-inspiring picture of the universe as it would appear to a voyager through space, this film was among the sources used by Stanley Kubrick in his 2001: A Space Odyssey. Realistic animation takes you into far regions of space, beyond the reach of the strongest telescope, past Moon, Sun, and Milky Way into galaxies yet unfathomed. (nfb.ca)

Embarrasses every former and most subsequent attempts to depict space on film. Perfect narration and music to go with it. Favorite bit: a la Douglas Adams's "mostly harmless", humanity appears only briefly, represented by our essential preoccupations of food, money, and time, of no more interest to the film than Jupiter's spot or the asteroid belt.

Dazzling animation . The way the narrator says "Uranus" must've destroyed every single classroom this was shown in.

A must-see if only to hear the mellifluous tones of Douglas Rain doing something other than the HAL 9000.
