Pale Blue Dot as Seen from Angry Red Planet

I remember going to the movies when I was a kid and seeing this movie.

This image was snapped back in October 2007, from a distance of 142 million kilometers, and if you look closely, you can make out a few features on Earth.
You can laugh now, but in the early sixties, people thought there were canals on Mars.  We've come a long way, but there's still a long way to go.

Update:
YouTube has this small segment of the movie.
