Episode 1: This Fever Dream of a Film

Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey is an animated sci-fi movie starring Chris Pine, John Travolta, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amanda Peet, James Earl Jones, William Shatner, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Hamill, Jason Alexander, and Neil Armstrong. It premiered at the Kentucky Science Center on January 22, 2011–six months later it disappeared forever. It never got a wide theatrical release or home video release and it’s never been on any streaming services. I set out to find Quantum Quest and along the way found there's a lot more to this story than your typical lost media piece, and the butterfly effect of this movie reaches further than I could have imagined. Finding Quantum Quest is a production of Du Vide Media. Written and produced by Spencer Wirth-Davis. Co-produced by Ryan Kopperud and Sam McCullough. Story editing by Sierra DeMulder-Eyres and Katie Roth. Special thanks to Eric Mayson. Transcripts available at FindingQuantumQuest.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
