5.0 out of 5 stars STILL OUTSTANDING AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS, November 5, 1999

By 

FRED C. DORN (GAITHERSBURG, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our Mr Sun (Bell Telephone Science Series) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE IN JR.HIGH IN THE LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S. WHEN I CAME BACK AS A TEACHER IN THE 70'S, IT WAS STILL BEING SHOWN. IT REALLY HELD THE ATTENTION OF STUDENTS WITH ITS FRANK CAPRA FORMAT AND ITS HOST, DR. FRANK BAXTER. MANY SCHOOLS STILL USE THIS MOVIE, 43 YEARS LATER.IT HAS GOOD ANIMATION, A GOOD SOUNDTRACK AND MR. SUN IS MARVIN MILLER (THE VOICE OF ROBBY THE ROBOT). IT COVERS THE BASIC ASPECTS OF THE SUN IN A INTERESTING AND ANTIMATED WAY.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get the inside facts on how the sun was formed., January 15, 1999

This review is from: Our Mr Sun (Bell Telephone Science Series) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Great old video from Bell Labs. I remember this movie in grade school. Lionel Barrymore, Eddie Arnold and the Sun, discuss what scientists know about the sun. They discuss early man's facination with the sun, and how modern man could not live without the sun. Funny and educational.
