Great movie by portkins (ma) 5 Stars
November 23, 2008
I saw this in the early 70's in school.
It is great to watch it now with my kids and discuss the changes in science that have taken place since the movie was made IN THE 50's!
They speak of nuclear energy and solar as well as lots of interesting facts about the sun.
Well worth the money

December 29, 2007
It has been 38 years since I've seen this. I remembered more teaching and less cartoon. Still It was a good group of films to start a young Interest In science.

Classic Educational Films, Still Great Fun. by R. L. Matsui (Hollywood) 5 Stars
November 21, 2007
I have fond memories of watching Frank Capra's Bell Science films in the classrooms of years gone by, and these movies are still great today. More than one generation knows them well: 16mm prints of these were shown through the 50's, 60's and 70's and in some cases into the 80's but by that time the prints were well worn with a lot of scratching and splices. These were so well produced and so much fun to watch that they nearly don't feel like educational films at all. When these finally got their official DVD release, I was overjoyed and ran out to get my copies, and I was pleased at the quality of the prints. The colors are slightly faded but the image and sound are clean and sharp overall. Recommended for nostalgia buffs and anyone who just likes good movies!

Kids still love 'em! by L. Austin (New Englad) 5 Stars
June 26, 2007
When I started teaching five years ago, at an admittedly advanced age, I looked for Our Mr Sun and was so happy to find it. Get this: the kids in my 7th grade classes like it. They also like kidding the living daylights out of me b/c it's my favorite ("Look you guys! It's the same animation as Mr. Magoo!" "Who?"). Still a wonderful conversation starter and highly accessible explanations of thermonuclear reactions and photosynthesis.
Plus all your baby boomer friends will be very jealous that you own it.
