Of Stars and Men (1961)
Awaken to Your Universe
Of Men and Stars is simple, clear and concisely narrated animation of our physical universe as viewed from the mid 20th century. Ahead of its time without adding dogma, fluff or spin. The animations were simple but worked well without trying to outplay the narration as it is with cgi productions of our time. The animation sort of reminded me of a of a child's drawing with a little Pollack or Picasso mixed in. The narration is folksy but clearly spoken similar to what i have heard on old Post or Kellog's cereal commercials. As it is over 50 years old there were some " facts " that have changed or updated yet it was right on course as our voyaging probes to their fact finding missions. Carl Sagan's " Cosmos " would be a great companion to this work. A great primer for the young and old on how science views our universe and is still relevant these many years later.
