Oh I just love old Disney science shorts, thanks for this!

I remember these! I saw them a long, long time ago when they originally were telecast , and I remember that they really stoked my sense of wonder. It was not long after that I found a book by Arthur C. Clarke (Islands in the Sky) in the school library and I became what has been a lifelong fan of science fiction.

That voice! Do you know who the narrator is on these? It's familiar, probably from a childhood of listening to him.

Or was he part of Rocky and Bullwinkle? It's so familiar, but I don't have a name.
