My 16 year old daughter's favourite Walt Disney movie. I certainly recognise the quote, though I cannot see Nimitz having a similar voice to Eddie Murphy!

And you can argue that a fair number of books that could be called SF when written have become Science Fantasy now, simply because we've learned better, and we're aware, for example, that there isn't a habitable surface under the clouds of Venus.
