So, this documentary, 'Patrick Stewart Narrates The Planets,' dives into the other seven planets of our solar system, and it’s narrated by Stewart, which instantly adds a layer of gravitas. The pacing is rather soothing, with a blend of NASA's visuals and Tomita's electronic adaptations of Holst's music creating this almost hypnotic atmosphere. It's fascinating how they incorporate footage and illustrations, weaving together science and art. The 1993 release had a certain charm, but the DVD re-release expands on it by including Pluto, which makes it a bit of a curiosity in the whole debate around that planet's classification. It's not just educational; it's got this unique vibe that's hard to find in other space docs.
This film has seen a few releases, and the DVD reissue with Pluto definitely brings in a new audience, especially those interested in the evolving status of planets. It's not overly common in collector circles, which adds a bit of intrigue for those who appreciate documentaries that blend art and science. Still, you'll find collectors who seek it out not just for its content but for Stewart's narration, which stands out in a lot of educational films.
