    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
    An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are English philosopher and Renaissance man Sir Francis Bacon, women' s rights advocate Susan B. Anthony, Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and Greek philosopher Socrates.

    FANTASTIC MR. FOX 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel. The story follows Mr. Fox, a clever and adventurous fox who, after settling into a new home with his family, returns to his old ways of stealing from three cruel farmers. As he leads his family and animal friends in a series of heists, they face increasing danger. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle between personal desires and responsibilities. With quirky humor, visual symmetry, and a heartfelt narrative, it balances whimsy and depth. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Wes Anderson, the writer, producer, and director, opted to have the actors record their lines in natural, on-location settings rather than in a studio to capture a more spontaneous feel. The recordings took place in various locations, including a forest, an attic, a stable, and even underground.” 
      
    “The color scheme of the movie predominantly features autumn tones—yellow, orange, and brown—with very little use of green and blue. However, Kristofferson’s blue outfit was intentionally chosen to highlight his status as an outsider.” 
      
    "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was the first book Wes Anderson ever owned, a gift from his mother when he was seven years old. It has remained on his bookshelf ever since.”
