				In the early twentieth century, Edgar Rice Burroughs compiled a <a href="http://www.yahooey.com/authors/burroughs-edgar-rice/thuvia-maid-of-mars/glossary.html">glossary</a> of the terms used in his Martian novels. In 1957, Walt Disney created an animated version of it for his "Mars and Beyond" TV show (we've already showed a <a href="http://io9.com/5015432/a-nerdy-scientist-and-a-hot-secretary-on-mars-in-1957">couple</a> of <a href="http://io9.com/5016094/a-fleet-of-atomic+electric-space-ships-embark-for-mars-1957">clips</a>, but this one's great too). I love the surreal animation, some of which (the Banth and the Thoat) reminds me of the awesome VIP - <a href="http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/partch.htm">Virgil Franklin Partch</a>. It turns out that VIP did work for Disney, but left almost two decades before "Mars and Beyond."				<a href="http://io9.com/5045502/burroughs-and-disney-drop-acid-create-animated-martian-dictionary" title="Click here to read more about Burroughs and Disney Drop Acid, Create Animated Martian Dictionary">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
