TIL that the first movie to have surround sound was from 1940; Walt Disney's Fantasia. Some versions of 'Fantasound' called for 52 speakers. en.wikipedia.org Submitted by infected_scab t3_yj71xt on November 1, 2022 at 12:11 PM in todayilearned 37 comments 661

The linked wiki article says 54, but if you dig into the article for Fantasound, it has a detailed breakdown and no version ever had more than 8 speakers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasound Permalink 6
