''Wonderworld'' is a musical with lyrics by Stanley Styne and music by Jule Styne written specifically for presentation at the 1964 New York World's Fair's huge 11,000-seat amphitheatre.

History The production was conceived and staged by Leon Leonidoff, a senior producer at Radio City Music Hall. With admission prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.00, the $2 million production was presented four times a day Monday through Thursdays and five times a day on Saturdays and Sundays in the 11,000-seat Art Deco amphitheatre constructed for the 1939 New York World's Fair.

Wonderworld (album)
''Wonderworld'' is the seventh studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in June 1974 by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records in the US. ''Wonderworld'' was the last Uriah Heep album to feature bass player Gary Thain. The original vinyl release was a single sleeve, with the lyrics reproduced on the inner liner. The album was remastered and reissued by Castle Communications in 1996 with four bonus tracks, and again in 2004 in an expanded deluxe edition. Reception AllMusic's retrospective review noted that "''Wonderworld'' continues in the vein of '' Sweet Freedom'', trying to bring Uriah Heep's appeal to a wider level while still retaining the grandiose trademark elements (the organ-guitar attack, David Byron's operatic shriek) that got them noticed". Comparing it to the band's prior work, reviewer Donald A. Guarisco added that "The result is an album that is solid but not as inspired as '' Look at Yourself'' or '' Demons and Wizards''.

CGI Animated
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the use of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, simulators, and visual effects in films, television programs, shorts, commercials, and videos. The images may be static ( still images) or dynamic ( moving images), in which case CGI is also called ''computer animation''. CGI may be two-dimensional (2D), although the term "CGI" is most commonly used to refer to the 3-D computer graphics used for creating characters, scenes and special effects in films and television, which is described as "CGI animation". The first feature film to make use of CGI was the 1973 film ''Westworld''. Other early films that incorporated CGI include ''Star Wars'' (1977), '' Tron'' (1982), '' Golgo 13: The Professional'' (1983), ''The Last Starfighter'' (1984), '' Young Sherlock Holmes'' (1985) and ''Flight of the Navigator'' (1986).
