"BEFORE THIS MOVIE SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY.... Disney was known for it's family oriented films. Even the well-known Disney classics (SNOW WHITE, CINDERELLA, FANTASYIA) had a dark side to the villain, but never as dark and gothic as THE BLACK HOLE. The story was intense, and the special effect was incredible (for the time it was released). The ending could be changed to be a little less christian-like (Maximillion and Hans Rienhart merge to be placed above what looks like hell, while the good guys pass though what looks like heaven's gates with an angel leading the way). Perhaps a remake, with Tim Burton or Guillermo Del Toro directing? "

"Even if you love the original Escape to Witch Mountain, you have to welcome a remake. The 1975 sci-fi Disney film has some very dated special effects — though the visible wires used to “levitate” a handgun and a harmonica give it a campy charm — and it’s not exactly the well-respected classic that The Black Hole or Old Yeller is, anyway. So, better a remake (or “modern re-imagining”) of a slightly beloved movie, which has already been redone once, to give The Rock another fulfillment of his Disney contract and utilize all the “perfect” digital effects now available. While it seems that eventually all Dis "

"It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for all things science fiction-related, and when it involves robots of any kind (the odd exception being the actual movie Robots, which I avoided like the plague) then I’m in like Flynn. The more non-human looking the robot, the more I’ll love it. (Which is probably why Disney’s own The Black Hole has some of the coolest movie robots in it. V.I.N.C.E.N.T.? Maximillian? Great stuff. Where’s my Blu-ray, Disney?) One of the movies this past year that actually got me into the theaters more than once was Disney/Pixar’s WALL•E, which comes out on DVD today. They’ve added a ton of special features to the film, especially (of course) if you buy the "

"Released: December 21, 1979Director: Gary Nelson*****The Black Hole is a film in search of an identity. Being Disney's first PG-rated film, it never quite knows who its audience is. Kids, with the wisecracking robots Vincent and Bob? Sci Fi fans, with elaborate sets and a space setting? Action movie buffs, complete with blaster fights? Science freaks, in an attempt to teach the audience about a scientific phenomenon? It never knows and therefore comes across as a jumbled mess. But it's an enjoyable jumbled mess with a wonderfully addictive score by longtime James Bond conductor John Barry.While exploring the vastness of space, the crew of the Palomino comes across the USS Cygnus, a larger research vessel sitting on the edge of a black hole and which refused an order to return home. On the ship, they meet Hans Reinhardt, an eccentric scientist obsessed with the black hole. When they learn he is planning to go into it, there is a race against time to escape.The Black Hole is ...

"1979 was a dark time for Walt Disney. Really dark, as Disney had been trapped in a casket for ten years an account of being dead. His studio was having a hard time as well. Ever since W.D. had kicked the bucket, the studio had not had a single big hit, with its animated releases clearly second tier (The Astritocats, The Rescuers) and its live actions films strictly for kids. Enter Star Wars, Close Encounters and Superman, three sci-fi/fantasy special effects pictures that proved that sort of movie could make big bucks. The answer to the execs at Buena Vista was clear- make their own sci-fi blockbuster and rake in the cash. The gamble actually came close to succeeding. Although remembered (when at all) as a bomb, The Black Hole actually made $35.7 million dollars.
