BURBANK, Calif., May 29, 2007 – Experience Mars like never before when the visually stunning IMAX
documentary, ROVING MARS, sets down on DVD and Blu-ray Disc July 31st from Walt Disney Home
Entertainment. Originally presented on IMAX screens in 2006, ROVING MARS received excellent reviews for its captivating
account of the 2003 Mars Rover mission in which two robots —- named Spirit and Opportunity -— were sent to

scientists and chronicles the project through to the stunning images of Mars sent back from the unmanned
explorers.
