200ft Walt Disney's THE BACK HOLE.
films starts out with a very edited title sequence, followed by a shot of the big ship sailing towards the black hole, we see the crew of the Palamino running through the ship trying to escape, we cut to that classic shot of one of the asteroids crashing through the ship, the bad guy's robots are shotting at them, they go into a garden room where the roof is removed by one of the asteroids, we see what looks like snow come in to the room and some of the bad guy's robots get shot and sucked out into space, we cut to the inside of a small ship and the good guys escape, we also see a brief scene of the bag guy scientitst getting killed by a falling piece of the ship.
the picture quality is very good as well as the sound, the colour is good as well.
It is one of the only digests where Ive seen a warning at the start about showing the film in a public place tc, just like the warnings on VHS and DVDs.
Production date of the digest is 1980 so must of been one of the last Disney super 8 films.
Stop Press, I have just viewed the 400ft version and the 200ft version is just the slightly edited down version of the 400fter.

Mine came with the same poster offer!
This film I thought was better than it was given credit. Very good special effect, decent story line. The only downside was those two "garbage can robots" (Vincent was the name of one of them), with those rediculous cartoon eyes. Disney couldn't get away from at least one cartoony influence.
By the way, just as they released a Super 8 handcrank movie viewer (by "Kenner" toys). They released a "Black Hole" cassette and viewer. I don't know if they released any other cassettes but the one. It did have scenes on that that were not on the Super 8 sound releases. (I don't know for sure, but since "Fisher Price" released all the other Disney hand crank toy cassettes, but they probably released this as well.
They contained the landing of the astronauts ship on the Cygnus, as well as they're first visit to the main control room, as a neat last shot which was a full shot of the Black Hole. I remember because I hand cranked that to death!

That ending always got me as well, not that I don't believe that there's a heaven or a hell, but it certianly wouldn't be at the end of a Black Hole!
The one part of that ending that seemed "just" was Maximillian
ending up "housing" the leader of the Cygnus, (his eyes darting back and forth underneath Maximillian head).
But then, just what would be at the end of a Black Hole, "anti Black Hole", "anti- space"?
One of those questions best left to scientists.
Thanks for verifying the Super 8 trailer question.
