In 1988 Disney aired a four hour television movie called Earth*Star Voyager. Originally, the film was supposed to be an ambitious TV pilot, but a series was never picked up and Earth*Star Voyager faded into oblivion. This thread is to allow for appreciation and discussion on this forgotten film that has attained a cult following.

While not being available on VHS or DVD, keep your eyes on ebay.com because sometimes I'll find it for sale there (that's where I got mine). I hope you enjoyed looking back at Earth*Star Voyager again, or maybe even became interested in this unknown cult Disney film for the first time. Feel free to share your thoughts.

I'm not sure if I remember this or not...

I have a couple of mid-80s kid's sci-fi shows mixed up in my head...

Space Academy, Jason of Star Command, this, and a few others.


Does anyone remember a show where kids were on a garbage scow or something?
