First, Disney's Hyperion label scored a huge box office hit with
Back to the Future, the Steven Spielberg-produced, Robert Zemeckis-helmed scifi comedy that went on to be the biggest box office hit of the year. The film tells the tale of a teenager named Marty (Michael J Fox) who is accidentally sent back in time to the mid 1950's, where he inadvertently becomes the love interest of his future mother Lorraine (Lea Thompson). Before he can return to his own time, Marty must make sure Lorraine and his future father George (Crispin Glover) fall in love or his own existence would be butterflied, and when he does get back to 1985, he must save the life of his partner in crime, the eccentric Dr Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Thanks to good reviews and a greater turnout in ticket sales, the film could potentially become the first of a trilogy.
Note: See I'm Going to Disney World for slight tweaks to
