    He also did the voice of Prof. Ludwig Von Drake, the original Pillsbury Doughboy and the Talking Rings in the 1960 "The Time Machine" and tons of other movie & cartoon voiceovers. He got to actually show his face onscreen in the 1954 Frank Sinatra film "Suddenly." He even dubbed for some well-known actors such as Tony Curtis in "Some Like It Hot" (Curtis had difficulty speaking falsetto, so Frees dubbed those lines for him) and even Humphrey Bogart in "The Harder They Fall." (Bogart was suffering from throat cancer at the time & his voice was pretty well shot by then. So Frees had to re-dub his lines in some scenes.)

    Boy the landscape and demographics changed from then to now. Where were the teens and college students/young adults at Disneyland in the 60’s? Back then, it looks like there were a lot more of the Middle aged adults and geriatric populations than the teens and young adult populations that you would mainly see at Disneyland today. It seems like you would rarely see any teens and college/young adult aged individuals at the Disneyland park. So what the heck happened? That is the total opposite to the Disneyland today. I am a millennial in my mid 20’s, so can you explained what the heck happened really to the Disneyland age demographics during the past few decades or so? The difference is so obvious.

    My favorite part was the little tube that people to waiting the board the ride could see. It was in a straight line with the scars entering the ride, and showed the cars and their occupants already reduced to about 1/5 their size. Of course, if you looked carefully, you'd notice the occupants of the real ride didn't match up with the ones on the "miniaturized" ride. Still a fun illusion.

    Up until 1982, most every attraction at Disneyland (and eventually Disney World) required a ticket. "A" tickets were the cheapest, "E" tickets the most expensive. "Adventure Thru Inner Space" (as well as "Great Moments with Mr Lincoln") were FREE attractions - they didn't require a ticket. Which made it very popular. That, and the fact that there was rarely if ever a line! Those ride vehicles, also used on the Haunted Mansion, were great. Adventure Thru Inner Space lasted from 1967 - 1985.

    I was probably 5 years old when I rode this in the early 80s. I vaguely remember a spot near the ride where you could look through a microscope eyepiece and see tiny riders going by in a straight line. Obviously they were tiny figurines but I kept looking closely to see if any of them moved. I think that was why you saw the big eye looking at you towards the end.

I was always scared of this ride and had no idea what was inside, because someone told me you got shrunk and travelled through a needle. Or perhaps that's just how my 5 year old brain imagined a microscope... in either case, i thought it was real and didnt understand how it was possible! It spooked me and i never got to see it. My curiosity is satisfied! Much of Tomorrowland when I saw it as a kid had this 60's vibe. I do miss that. I feel like it could still work and fit the theme of Tomorrowland, even if they adjusted the attractions.

    I was at Disneyland in 1969 with my family when I was 10 years old, and it was wonderful. Such good memories! I remember this ride very well because it made such a huge impression on me. I also remember the park as being more open back then and not overly crowded. We also bought & used the tickets to go on the rides Instead of paying one admission fee. I went to Disneyland again in 2017 and had about the worse da of my life. I was soooo disappointed I wanted to cry. The park was overcrowded, the open spaces were gone, stuff was crammed in everywhere, rides were closed down, and I'd paid over $100 to go on only 4 rides and walk myself into exhaustion. I don't know if I'll ever go back. It's nice to be able to see the old park on KZread though. Thanks for this channel!

    i loved this as a kid. o always remember there being a huge line, and i spent lots of time trying to match what the people in line were wearing to what the tiny little people going through the plastic tube of the microscope in the little atomobiles.were wearing. also, high marks for all of the view master reels of disneyland that came out at this time - spent many hours looking at them and then hundreds of dollars in my adulthood trying to find them again on ebay. they still rock

    I remember my dad taking me one time and ATI was my favorite ride then. I had a toy pistol I bought at the park and pretended to shoot it on the ride. Unfortunately, I dropped it into "deep space". Nevertheless, I enjoyed every moment. I have no question that Disney parks were a lot better in the 70's and 80's.

    For Disneyland fanatics, theres a gargantuan easter egg in 2010's Iron Man 2. All the Howard Stark scenes are clearly rifts on the Walt Disney appearances of the 1960's (as his Stark Expo is clearly his version of Tomorrowland), and the song played over the end credits is an obvious rift of "Miracles from Molecules."

    "Adventures Thru Inner Space" was a big part of my childhood. I absolutely had to go back to it anytime I went to Disneyland (Usually was with my dad). I think it was the "star" of the whole park for me :-) In that I now understand that it opened in 1967, I must of been among the 1st folks to see this, because it seems like it wouldn't have been much later than that, that I went for the 1st time
