The Red Planet in Fact & Fiction (mostly fiction!)

For centuries, we've wondered if life exists on the planet nearest us.

In fiction, we've traveled there, they've traveled here. It usually hasn't been pleasant for either side.

In fact, only our machines have traveled there. There's been no return visit from them...so far.

John Carter of Mars Animation Test Footage (1940s)

by Bob Clampett

Back in the 1940's, animation director Bob Clampett (director of Bugs Bunny and creator of Beany and Cecil) proposed a series of animated theatrical shorts adapting the John Carter of Mars books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (creator of Tarzan). This footage was the test reel for the studios. Apparently one major hollywood studio was interested in producing these shorts, but changed their mind when they thought the concept might be too weird!
It's to bad they never got made. Who knows what direction animation might have taken if they had.
