What a cool film, but Frank Capra had nothing to do with it (contrary to what the other review says). But Chuck Jones did do the animation! Wonder who dubbed Aristotle's voice? It's clearly not the actor playing the part.

Wow -- I was 2 yrs old when this was made. There are many highlights -- Chuck Jones animation, weird clowns (briefly), way cool electronic music, rocket ships, and solid science. I really enjoyed this -- until the very end. Oh well, it was America in 1958...I guess.
