## Description

For the first time ever, you can enjoy this timeless classic in a Special Edition DVD. Fully restored to look and sound as it was originally intended, it also includes hours of exclusive bonus materials your family will enjoy again and again. Climb aboard the Nautilus...and into a strange undersea world of spellbinding adventure! Kirk Douglas, Paul Lukas, and Peter Lorre star as shipwrecked survivors taken captive by the mysterious Captain Nemo, brilliantly portrayed by James Mason. Wavering between genius and madness, Nemo has launched a deadly crusade across the seven seas. But can the captive crew expose his evil plan before he destroys the world? Featuring Norman Gimbel and Al Hoffman's memorable song "A Whale of a Tale," Disney's Academy Award(R)-winning (Special Effects and Color Art Direction, 1954) adaptation of Jules Verne's gripping tale makes 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA a truly mesmerizing masterpiece!|The submarine the Nautilus was built to scale: 200 feet long and shaped as Verne had described it -- a monster with headlights as eyes.|Based on the classic Jules Verne novel, this was the first Disney feature filmed in CinemaScope.|The Disney special effects department built the giant squid out of rubber, steel spring, flexible tubing, glass cloth, Lucite, and plastic. When finished, the monster had tentacles that were 40 feet long and two feelers that measured 50 feet long. It took a crew of 28 to operate the beast's intricate remote controls.|The first time the battle with the giant squid was staged, the monster got waterlogged and sank. Real creatures weren't much more cooperative. When the filmmakers couldn't get real fish to swim by the cameras, the studio substituted animated fish instead.|Shooting locations for the film included various locales in the Bahamas and Jamaica, as well as the Disney backlot.

Review: Excellent Movie in all formats - Although somewhat changed from the book (changing sensibilities would make this inevitable), it is a lively interpretation of the classic tale. The Blu-ray is out of print, so the price i too high except for the Serious collector, but the DVD version is of very good quality and highly recommended, both the regular and Special Edition.
Review: A brilliantly ancient Sci-Fi argument against war and inhumanity - The hubris and hypocrisy of humans is brilliantly displayed in this wonderful film based on Jules Verne’ 1870 science fiction book. Those that decry war instead make war on the supposed oppressors. The role of science as a liberating force is used to make better weapons. Revenge justifies taking revenge. Money which creates marvelous new wonders for humanity at the same time threatens to enslave the world. Wrapped up in a gripping conflict story, the steam-punk vision of Walt Disney from the 1950’s is gripping. It’s so great to see Kirk Douglas in his prime, the cheerful wild card enlivening the whole story. Truly, the blu-ray anniversary edition provides a still-mesmerizing spectacle, particularly when projected onto a large wall screen with full surround sound turned up. This is a “blast from the past” that I didn’t fully appreciate when I was six years old back in 1954 but enjoy its spectacle and subtleties even more today. Bravo!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Disney movie ever... and a DVD to match it!
*by P***Y on April 18, 2004*

Finally! The definitive edition of a Jules Verne classic brought back in all its pomp and glory. The price, for once, is right. I remember it when it first was released in Europe, and I can safely say that this version beats even that showing back then. Extremely clear image, stupendous surround sound, make this a must have in the most absolute way. Forget all the other versions ever made. This remains THE classic of them all! Forget the dated special effects which, by the way, you may not even notice, since the story is so gripping and fast paced, that you may not even realize they are. James Mason gives a wonderful portrayal of Captain Nemo. One of his best roles, together with Fieldmarshal Rommel in "The Desert Fox", Cicero in "Five Fingers" and Professor Arronax in "Journey to the Center of the Earth" of about the same period. Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre form a perfect if not odd comical duo, to ease the tension of the story. The score is beautifully remastered and brings you immediately back to those long bygone days of great moviemaking. I won't be long reviewing this movie, since many others before me, have already praised it and described it in detail. I can only say, buy it, buy it, buy it! Oh, and by the way, don't forget about another Jules Verne classic coming out soon on DVD and in Widescreen: "Around the World in 80 Days". That's another "absolutely must have". In the meanwhile, have you checked on "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Do you have it on your DVD shelf? No? Shame on you... Go and get it fast. It's been remastered and it's a worthy companion to the other two Jules Verne movies. So, what are you waiting for?
