New Visual Aids Draw Visitors To Exhibits At Disneyland
Among its many creative achievements, Disneyland has turned up three of the most original applications of 16mm movies ever developed

The three shows are:

- The World Beneath Us . . , sponsored by Richfield Oil. On what is probably the oddest shaped movie screen ever developed, this show reviews the creation and development of oil resources, past and future,
- A Trip to the Moon.., sponsored by Trans World Airlines. Passengers are taken on a simulated rocket ship ride around the moon through mov ies projected into the rockets space scanners.
