Hmmm, they've listed The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) AFTER Forbidden Planet (1956), and additionally they've given an erroneous 16-year interval between TDtESS and Star Wars (1977).

They also forgot to include Douglas Trumbull's 1972 film Silent Running.
George Lucas based R2-D2 on the "Drones" in that film.
Star Wars Origins - The Droids
SILENT RUNNING - Mania.com

Here's another good example of Projection Mapping at White Nights Festival in Brighton, UK. I was one of the animators for the festival for the previous 2 years.
