Disney's JOHN CARTER Cartoon from 1957
John Carter did not go exactly as planned at the box office for Walt Disney Pictures, but the movie currently in theaters is not the studio's first time working with the material. Legendary Disney animator, Ward Kimball, drew some cool pieces of of art based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom.
We have a video from one of Walt Disney's Dinseyland specials for ABC. Our friends at io9 shared the 1957 episode, Mars and Beyond, which you can watch below.
I remember watching the Disneyland specials on ABC as a kid, and may have even seen this one at one point. Check out some more of Ward's awesome artwork below.
What do you think of the art? Would you have rather seen a movie built around Kimball's work?
