almost lost

It’s not everyday that Disney fans are treated to something that almost no one knew anything about but that’s exactly what we can say happened with Halyx.

To take advantage of the space-craze of the early 1980’s due to the popularity of Star Wars, Gary Krisel pitched a movie idea to, then Disney CEO, Ron Miller about a space band. That became a real-life experiment in the Summer of 1981. Although the band never became what it was envisioned to become the history of this band was almost lost had it not been for this documentary.

Below you’ll find Matthew’s films:

Live From the Space Stage: A HALYX Story
Remain Seated Please – A Hoot and Chief Story
“REMAIN SEATED PLEASE” – Directors Commentary

You’ll also find the links he talked about to help support him below the videos along with his social links.
