 Only Walt Disney
could attempt to make weather forecasting exciting. "Attempt"
being the operative word, of course.
Eyes in Outer Space
(1959) was Uncle Walt's vision of how man in the 21st
century would not only predict the weather, but also control it by way
of a high-tech assault force right out of
Thunderbirds.
At the centre of this is a
string of weather satellites that have a certain degree of antique
charm courtesy of rotating camera lenses that would have been at home
on a television camera circa 1953.
This distinctly retro feature,
however, was offset by a command centre back on Earth that would make
Dr. Strangelove green with
envy. |
