The original promotional short done for Jeff Wayne's musical version of WAR OF THE WORLDS (the concept album�which featured narration by Richard Burton) that blends several animation styles with live action.� (For some reason the person who posted this�online included the opening film leader, so be patient.)� I remember going to a Peach's record store in Indianapolis in late '78, when the album first came out.� They had this incredible illuminated fiberglass and plexiglass replica of one of the Martian war machines�based on the album art�that towered over you as you came in the door.� (Always wondered whatever happened to the thing.)� A few years back, I stumbled across a new Super 8 stereo sound print of the promo from, if I recall, England's Derann Films.� Looks gorgeous on the big screen; this YouTube post really doesn't do it justice, but it's rare so thought I would share.
