Thanks, fellow 3D-friends, for this excellent information. This gives my 
movie a history.

The movie starts with two guys dancing on stage, holding and throwing all 
sorts of stuff into the audience. Then, there's an old "inventor", who 
takes you with his old car through a forest ("smell those trees"). Later, 
there's a country fair, where you are shown fresh fruit (oranges, 
Strawberries, Apples) and fresh coffee.

The whole story plays in 1903, according to the old inventor. At the end, 
there's a parade. Very nice 3D - and not too many bad 3D-tricks

The movie is copyright 1985, 1989 by Six Flags Corp. and Dentsu, a 
Japanese company.

Thanks again very much. Now I'll just have to find some information about 
the other short movie I have: Niigata.
