SECRET OF THE CARDBOARD ROCKET Pluto Section Updated
Our most popular children's show has been remade for
the full dome environment. Embark on an outstanding adventure as two
children spend a night touring the solar system alongside their ship's
navigator, an astronomy book. Produced with modern 3-D digital animation
and a 5.1 soundtrack with spectacular effects created at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.
The narration track has been edited to take into account the
reclassification of Pluto.
However, the voices were not re-narrated so we made just a few
key changes to the actual recorded soundtrack.
We removed all references to Pluto as the "ninth planet" or "smallest planet" or "last planet" but we still call it a "planet." Our approach is that even though Pluto is now a "dwarf planet" it's still a planet.
We recommend doing the program by having your presenter make a few comments during the introductions to ask questions and explain what's going on with Pluto and why the show still refers to it as a planet. Then follow up with some Q&A at the end. This approach has been working extremely well for us, and helps to clarify the issue.
Show length: Two Versions Available: 40 and 30 minutes. Show Kit Includes: Full Dome animation, 5.1 surround soundtrack, script, press kit CD.
