Moreover, in 1972, Egypt was
able to produce a movie in 70mm, thanks
to the

Soviets, who had lent their cameras

and a photography director. This movie was

sequence was done as an experiment in
1938. Evolutionwas started in 1940 but was
abandoned when Fantasia was released,
since it had the effect of taking the thunder

Moon was produced in 1964, not 1946.
