What's so remarkable about this production besides being infinitely better than the movie on a shoestring budget, is that all the "computer graphics" for the series were done by old fashioned cel animation. No CRTs were harmed in the making of these effects.

That’s why they look so crisp. Especially on the Blu-ray, which features new scans of the cels.

Would be really cool if they made a Hitchiker’s guide app with the same aesthetic style shown here and all the entries from the books. Love the 70s aesthetic of what futuristic technology would look like.

[@anonUK]

It's pretty much Dr Who circa 1980. Peter Davison, who was the Doctor for a few years from about 1980-84 (?) was in the TV HHG series, as was his wife, who played Trillian on TV (not on radio). Adams had written alongside Graham Chapman and then in 1977 or so, wrote some Dr Who episodes for Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor and a world-renowned scenery chewer, second only to BRIAN BLESSED. A couple of these episodes were made, one with John Cleese in a cameo I think, the rest became the basis of the Magrathea/ Slartibartfast part of the HHG.

Love that in the B.B.C. Series, Marvin was a serious character, but sadly in the movie he was reduced to just a comedy side kick. Original series was such a classic! For me the movie highlight was the ‘Point of view gun’ a brilliant weapon that could peacefully resolve many conflicts large or domestic. ❤️

[@STho205]

I agree the written part and voice acting delivery was better in the 70s, but the costume was better in the movie. After all the happy white computers and personal funtime plastic gadgets of Apple vs the serious gray of PC and business computers.... That is the droid SCC would build, and the comedy is better that a clinically depressed personality is stuck forever in that cute and relatively useless machine body. I thought the Zaphod visual concept was better too with the alternate head popping out, instead of hanging limp and asleep most of the time. He did impress Trish at a party, and he had to yell her he was an alien.

​@Paul Hitchens I guess you aren't actually saying it's bad, though. So I agree that it would have been cooler to have a few more things in it. I think it was going to be the first in a trilogy but not necessarily in 3 parts. I wish there had been more time for Douglas Adams to make the next parts, movies and otherwise. I find it quite poetic that the main message in the movie is that we should stop all this bickering and finally be nice to each other, through the most efficient and quickest way possible, an empathy gun. I was thinking about that and I actually cried a little bit. It was quite an appropriate final message, ironic and meaningful. Rest in peace.
