May I ask if there are any plans to release the 1955 "Man in Space" television special (along with its two sequels) as part of the "Walt Disney Treasures" DVD line?

Thank you, Paul! It is a terrible shame about the lack of 16:9 enhancement, but non-anamorphic PAL still beats the crap out of anamorphic NTSC, IMNSHO.:D

Once again I submit a thread about films that nobody here has ever heard of...:D
Anyhoo, is there even the slightest possibility that Disney is planning to release on DVD the following 1950's space propaganda movies?

* "Man and the Moon", 1955.
* "Mars and Beyond"...

Pliz freeze the DVD at 13:32, and notice the very 20th century lookin' dude who can be glimpsed standing next to the lift shaft a moment before Kirk bumps into Sonak in the San Francisco Skytram Station. Could it be ST:TMP cinematographer Richard Kline, or just a retro-fashion obsessed denizen...
Films shot in the Super35 format (such as Ronin) suffer from this particular phenomenon. More information can be found here:
