Tomorrowland director calls it 'original' in forest of sequels

In a break from the sea of dystopian offerings aimed at young adult audiences, the world of tomorrow is given a glossy, Disney makeover in the studio's latest big-budget spectacular.

Tomorrowland, out in US theaters on Friday, sees Walt Disney's early visions of a scientific utopia come alive on screen - a vibrant creative paradise in a parallel realm, epitomizing mankind's true potential.

But Tomorrowland is mysteriously lost, and the task to recover and revitalize it falls on Casey Newton (Britt Robertson), a feisty teenage girl with an aptitude for science.
