"I'd like to share with you a few of our adventures from our spaceship, NEBULA-75..."
– Commander Ray Neptune
Filmed in Supermarionation by the team at Century 21 Films, Nebula-75 offers a contemporary take on retro puppet adventure series that have enthralled generations of children and adults – charting the voyages of Commander Ray Neptune and his brave crew as they explore the depths of space, encounter fellow travellers, and journey towards home.
Evoking a 1960s series that never really existed, Nebula-75 began life as a one-off short film in 2020, but soon attracted an enthusiastic audience hungry for further instalments. Since then, the series has grown, with several full-length episodes across two series, faux commercials for breakfast cereals and ice lollies, a range of much-asked for merchandise, and even a robot-hosted chat show!
In 2021, the Japanese rights for Nebula-75 were acquired by distributor Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. The series is set to be broadcast on their Star Channel in early 2022.
