Stratos Fear (1933) ****


When a dentist fills Willie Whopper with gas, the poor boy floats into space like a balloon and observes bike races on Saturn. He finally reaches a mysterious planet where three crazy scientists use a laser gun to change cows into steaks, milk bottles and wheels of cheese. Trying to escape from their devilish experiments, Willie encounters strange skeletons of unknown creatures, bizarre musical instruments and a sexy Egyptian dame. Full of ingenious ideas and some deft touches of surrealism. Directed and produced by Ub Iwerks.
