E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial [SEP] Introduction
The animatronics of E.T. were designed by Carlo Rambaldi. Released on June 11, 1982, by Universal Pictures, "E.T." was an immediate blockbuster, surpassing "Star Wars" to become the highest-grossing film of all time—a record it held for eleven years until "Jurassic Park", another Spielberg-directed film, surpassed it in 1993. "E.T." was widely acclaimed by critics and is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time. It was re-released in 1985, and again in 2002, to celebrate its 20th anniversary, with altered shots and additional scenes. In 1994, the film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, being designated as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
