  • @trac727 I have to do a report on it

  • my teacher made me watch it!! :(

  • This and Journey to the Center of The Ere two of the greatest adventure s EVER written.

  • nowadays Disney corp is bullshit...RIP Roy Disney

  • the nautilus is asposto look like a octopus

  • I remember watching this when I was only a little kid. Hell, when I was freaking 2! And this lighted up my passion for ocean life. This movie will forever be in my top ten favorite movies. I recommend that everyone, from the young to the old watch this movie. It will forever be etched into your mind as one, if not the, greatest ocean movie to ever be made.

  • this movie is beast! If Disney does do a remake of this, I hope they dont ruin it with their dumb, bubblegum pop stars and bad acting! Better yet...never do a remake of, and just leave at this! The 1954 version can never be touched!!

  • is the book good

    

  • @randomnelly44 I won't go so far as to say it's bad, but there is a LOT of description that really boggs down the story quite a lot at most points in the novel. At one section in particular the author spends several paragraphs describing various sea creatures. This description includes their latin names, appearance, habitat, eating habits, niche etc. You might find it a slow read, that's all.

  • It's just so old-fashioned, it's GREAT!!

  • Heeeeey am the 309.000 viewer lol

  • OMFG!!!! Amaaaaaaaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiing D:<

  • cool

  • This movie come from a time when Disney still made movies that were interesting, mysterious and exciting.

    Nowadays all they make are boo-hoo movies for women and children.

  • I watched this movie back in the early 80's as a kid, i loved it. To me its a classic.

  • James Mason was HOT in this film!

  • I am not what what you call a civilised man. I totally abandoned society for reasons wich only i have the right to know

    -Captain Nemo-

  • I have watched this movie twice and I STILL don't get it!

  • Note to Hollywood: Please don't remake this film - you'll just fuck it up.

  • movie didn't follow the book as a whole, but still damn good

  • Captain Nemo looks like George Clooney.

  • Pirates of the Caribbean may be Disney's most popular series of films, but this film, for me, remains their best---the story, the acting, the music, the effects, all of it. A simply classic, classic film.

  • i read the book

    

  • 0:02 In 1954 there was a Star Wars Typograhy !

  • @nelaqua Hollywood has a massive stack of sets, audio, video clips, special effects, props and entire sets that are endlessly reused in movies. Along with plots of course.

  • este filme me traz muita recordações

  • Should be re-titled to over 9000 leagues under the sea.

  • 1st Read Jules Verne's "20.000 Leagues Under the Sea" Then Watch The Movie ;)

  • The trailer had already given me chills. I imagine how the movie will be remade again.

  • where I can buy that movie? very excited movie...;)

  • I'm trying to find out, there were several remakes. But the one from the Hallmark channel, what was the creature which they battled in the end ? The name of it ?

  • @1Adr1an6 a giant squid

  • @piyte no... It wasn't a squid.. Is was like giant ray..

  • @1Adr1an6 Think it was called a protoleviathan.

  • @finrodbrs I think that was right.. But was it just proviathan ?

  • @finrodbrs wait, so it was basically a giant leviathan ?

  • Cryptozoology novel  see video book trailer

  • Fantastic

  • lol i checked this out cuz im watchin it at film club tomoz xD

  • what is he song that ned land songs?

  • @DavidEppursimuove "Whale of a Tale"

  • Wanna know how far 20,000 leagues really is? Its about from one end of the earth to half way to the moon. lol. Guess this should all be in space.

  • by far my favorite live-action Disney film. when i was little i used to watch the giant squid battle over & over again. now that i'm older i actually understand/enjoy the movie in its entirety. Disney needs to start showing this on tv to introduce it to new generations of kids =)

  • The adaptation of the book for Great Illustrated Classics was awesome and the cartoon

  • Movie trailers have come a long way. Can't help but think about the possibilities of an adaptation of the book being made today. It could be really amazing if they don't mess it up.

  • Jules Verne was a visionary! I must honestly say that 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a must-read novel. It was one of his best works that captured the wonders of the Sea so vividly and truly extraordinarily. You'll be feeling as if you're really living Nemo's underwater world once you get into the words.

    Now this was a man who were able to presented the true beauties of our waterplanet and glory of Scientific exploration as no one ever imagined before...

  • Trailers used to be so much longer than the 1 minute, fast paced efforts we get today!

  • the intro reminds of star wars:)

  • captain nemo... finding nemo... just saying

  • im not a big fan of remakes but if put in the right hands i think it would be good

  • I wish they had included the whole dinner party. Ned asks for the milk and when he's adding it to his pudding, Captain Nemo frankly states "the milk is of course from the giant sperm whale" 'stops pouring' This movie is such a classic I love it so much.

  • I didn't much care for the movie. Drifted away from the book way to much. The book edition of 20,000 is Naval Institute Press's edition which restores over 1/3 of the original text missing in American versions-- even to this day.

    I have always hoped that James Cameron would do this movie!! It would be a Masterpiece!! IMO Disney destroyed this story. The original story is actually quite dark.

  • yup. Check the imdb.

    

  • La colonna sonora e di Paul Smith collaboratore abituale di Walt Disney per le musiche.

  • jesus christ, I think i have seen this when I was a kid :D this movie was epic

  • If only Disney still made these kinds of films.

  • @JPnintendofan And may God help us if they try to remake THIS.

  • @Xanatos712

    but can you imagine if it WAS redone, with all of today's awesome effects, and with some actually talented actors, that movie would be fucking PRIME. as awesome as the old one was, i feel that the true mind-fucking awesomeness and badassery of Nemo, the Nautilus, and all of the simply ass-kicking adventures he had was not fully captured. i also was never a big fan of how the nautilus looked in the disney movie

  • @TheGoldenTeacher it will be ;D (2013)

  • @johnytoreno

    please sir, do not be fucking with me right now. is there actually a new one coming out?!

  • Superb movie! Excellent production for 1954! I enjoyed it greatly!

  • i read the book but i dont think its the complete version anyways its great andi imagine the capetain different

  • Have read Jules Verne's books, I really have to download this (I'm a poor student)

  • The Best sea movie ever made, with so much magnificence, and also the greatest performance by James Mason as the great Captain Nemo !!!!!! You can watch the full movie on You Tube : 20,000 Leagues under the sea part 1 of 13

  • The one and only. Inspired producer director IRWIN ALLEN to make VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, in 1961, year I was born, with similarly spectacular special effects and spectacle!

  • Epic.

  • This is a SuperAwsomeAmazingMasterPeaceO­fPerfection: 20,000LeaguesUnderTheSea: I give it Endless**********Stars********­**4 All.

    thanks,

    C.N.

  • CaptainNemoful, *stares* What the f*** is wrong with you?

  • would anyone else be perturbed by the idea of a story of Prince Armitage Ranjit Dakkar Beginning? I would like to see it, but yet I know Hollywood might massacre Nemo's true life story.

    Still it would be awesome to see how Nemo began, where he ended up from his high educational life, to the slavery on the island of "evil cargo" to the design of the Natilus on his island of "Vulcania" with his fellow crew and colleague. Idk. What do you all think?

  • Go, Nemo Go!  Kill them All.

  • This film, seen at the tender age of 6 with my dad, is probably the reason I've always detested Kirk Douglas and his progeny.

  • @Ross4916 LOL, please explain.

  • @TheTopBloke I always thought the Nautilus and Nemo were the heroes, destroyed by the ignorant, coarse, and low (but freedom loving) Ned Land. Nemo should have killed him on the spot, but then there would be no book or movie and Nemo would have been Master of the World. Bwahahaha. Sure, the organ is a bit gay, but whatever. Oh give me some filet of sea snake or brisket of blow fish with sea squid dressing based in barnacles and for dessert, mmmmm, saute' of unborn octopus! RIP Nautilus

  • @Ross4916 Nemo was a vigilante with a giant boat wrecking ship. His main idea was honorable but how he went about ending strife in the world was warped. The pain of losing his family left him bitter and angry. Ned Land was thinking like the common man, seeing his destruction and the soon forced suicide on him and his companions he broke loose and ended Nemo's reign (though in the book Nemo survives).

  • @Mojioftheeast I think you might be taking this all a bit too seriously, my friend. We're all entitled to our own viewpoints, and I disagree with you plain and simple. Ende.

  • @Ross4916 Actually I'm stating what was in the film, I suggest you do your homework.

  • @TheTopBloke "basted" need another cuppa coffee...lol

  • The squid sequence was supposed to happen in the day time. It was shot this way but the wires controlling the squid could be seen and the sequence looked bad. The Director went to Walt and said they needed to re-shoot the sequence at night during a storm to so the wires would not be seen. This would add about a 1 million dollars to the budget. Walt agreed saying the realism of the sequence was important. 

  • Favorite Verne novel by far. Absolutely love it.

  • cranco semata fucsino la moto fitacks

  • "What is it?"

    "it's a recipe of my own.... sauté of unborn octopus."

    *spit take*

    <3 Love it.  :-)

  • this is the beast

  • blimey, trailers were so long back then, I love them like that lol.

  • @NikolaGB Don't say things like that. There are plenty of old movies that are wonderful, magnificent, picturesque etc... Perhaps you have watched a bad movie but I assure you that this one is indeed good!

  • @NikolaGB what a moron

  • I read the book it was awesomee can't wait to see the movie :D

  • Thanks for this!!! Beautiful copy. Saw this on the big screen in Hollywood when it was re-released in 1994.

  • i'm reading this book for a project =O i hope i'm not disappointed :D

  • Skip the parts where they describe the fishes, otherwise it's a great novel.

  • En fait, quand le poulpe avance vers le Nautilus, il devrait marcher à reculons et pas avec les tentacules tendues devant lui. En plus, habitué à vivre dans les grandes profondeurs, il éclaterait à la surface à cause du changement de pression.

  • I have recently watch the movie. It's very funny to find Spartacus in the master-harpooner Ned-Land.

    James Mason is, of course, very good !

  • Recently watch the movie and read the novel. Both are very similar and different in many ways.

    PS: After BOTH the novel and movie, I must say, I HAD to go out for some sushi =D

  • im reading the book right now i also want to read war of the worlds

  • War of the Worlds is one of my all time favorite books. To tell you the honest truth, though, I've never been able to get into the book of 20,000 Leagues.

  • THE NOVEL IS AWSOME

  • A film of a great book!

  • coming out on a new remake.

  • i have a book of 20,000 legues under the sea and i love it very much capt. nemo!

  • So far theyve already done newer movie versions of Journey to the center of the earth, Around the world in 80 days and The Time Machine. Well Im surprised that they STILL havent made a newer version for this movie! But WHO knows they might, sooner or later?

  • Oh yeah, King Kong to

  • They have; dozens in fact, but none were as big, or as AWESOME as this one sadly...

  • so is this the latest remake right now?

  • @mosstick Yeah...the original was in 1916

  • "Journey to the center of the earth" and "Around the world in 80 days" are Jules Verne's books, but "The Time Machine" is an H.G.Wells' book.

    I love both of them, there are the two french and english fathers of science fiction.

  • They will make a prequel to his movie...next year. :D

  • lol my grandpa was an extra in this movie

  • REALLY?! That is just too cool!

  • lol thanks, didn't do much for his acting career though. He only ever did ads after that haha

  • Too bad...still, to be in a movie as wonderous as this must have been bloody awesome! ^^

  • What did he do?

  • @Emma1996able he was one of the sailors. but they're pretty much all brown-haired with beards he's hard to point out lol

  • anyone got a link to watch this full movie?

  • The book is amazing

  • i started reading it yesterday. Im on Chapter 12 right now. It's a great book it is so far.

  • This was my favorite movie as a kid.  James Mason is perfect as Captain Nemo.

  • Made some writing errors on my first comment, because I didn't have enough space. I think you can kind of make it out though.

  • Your right they should remake it. If remade, and done well unlike most of these recent remake, a newer version of this could be excellent for visuals, a gripping story, and a horrifying creature. Some amazingly scary scenes could be done in the deep dark of the sea and giant killer squid. Watch the sphere, there isn't even a squid shown, but when it appears on rader and is getting closer, it's that brilliant idea that your scared of what you can't see. So maybe a Thriller/Adventure/Horror remake

  • it would still suck

  • they should remake this movie

  • This movie can still amaze with it's visuals - it really is like a little gem. Plus, Kirk is the shit here!

  • i just loved the book, id like to see this ecranisation of it...

  • hey, where can i find more about this stuff? i really like both the book and the film. some months ago the whole movie was on youtube.

  • Best in Visual Effects 1954 Oscars :D

  • i liked the movie, but the book wasnt my favorite thing ever.

  • the book is amazing, i recomend it the complete version

  • THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD

    ADVENTURE MOVIE

    THAT DISNEY HIMSELF MADE

  • The giant squid swam the wrong way.

    But then I doubt they knew that then.

  • I am don't sure but when the squid attcks, it takes this way. But I repeat I'm don't sure.

  • Read the book.

    It is suprisingly modern, at least in terms of plot and characters, even though most elements in the book of course originate from the 19th century. Jules Verne's masterpiece is one of the greatest from his time, if not one of the greatest still.

  • great movie-wish we were in the 50's in america

  • If +here are two masters of imagination

    Who is Captain "survival?" Finding Nemo~Now we are freinds....~+~+~*

  • These effects hold up very well today.

  • This is the best live action film Disney has ever made. Period.

  • There should be a special 55th Anniversary Edition 3-Disc DVD & Blu-Ray Disc of this movie sometime this fall from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

  • In '07 I was injured on the Nautilus, and I haven't been back to the gym since.

  • Ok, to put it in a nut shell for u ppl who don't no who Capt Nemo was. He was son of a Indian Raja, educated in Europe from ages 10 to 30 and his family was killed by the British durring the sepoy uprising of 1857, left India and fought for freedom in the 7 sea *passes out*

  • One of my favorites as a kid and still to this day. Began a huge interest in aquatic and oceanic life for me.

  • i imagined professor aronaks younger

  • :)) this was Disney's way of depicting characters to meet american taste,only Ned Land - Kirk Douglas fit the role of a rough whale hunter.

  • In the book, Ned was a Canadian.

  • Disney is remaking it and supposedly that McG guy (from Terminator Salvation) is directing.

  • I wonder what Jules Verne would've thought of this movie.

  • he would be very proud of i think :))

  • wasn't captain nemo supposed to be indian?

  • Iread the book (in original version) and it don't say the nemo's nationality or his birthplace. Aronnax say only he speaks with his men a unknown dialect. But in the book, Nemo says then he learnt in the great universiies and speak perfectly french, german and english.

    You should to read the book : it's very interresting !

  • In the book, Nemo speaks also Latin !

  • Yes exactly !  :)

  • Hé ! Je viens de voir tachaîne après t'avoir répondu. Tu es française. Et, si je peux me permettre tu as l'air de bien connaitre le cinéma pour ton âge. ^^

    C'est sympa. :D

  • Jules Verne originally intended Nemo to be Polish, oppresed by Russia, but it was changed in The Mysterious Island, due to warnings about Russia possibly banning the book (did a report on Jules Verne for school, coo guy)

  • Cpt Nemo is a supporter of freedom and independence of peoples;even if England was never quoted and I dont want to reveal the plot there are few clues of his fierce hatred against England.

  • this was my favorite film as a child

  • i just finished the book, so the movie should be intersting........

  • my english class was supposed to read this book. i think im one of the two people who actually read it.

  • James Mason is the best Nemo ever.

  • The Terrifying Attack of tht GIANT SQUID!! ha ha great vid

  • one thing I hate from the book is when Jules Verne had to described in detail some creature he see, like what genus or class it's in. Mostly I just skip that part. But kudos for the story

  • DoDow1234: well, the book is told from the point of View of arronax, a Scientist, so, i suppose you could kind of expect that.

  • i remember these green lights and the octopus...) it was very frightening in the childhood

  • i hate how its consiel in english. ITS CONSEIL

  • The book's awesome! Ned land is the best XD

    It's good that they made a movie on it but it's bad becuz i cant do my book report on it becuz it's a movie. :-(

  • There are not many ocean adventure novels, but if I had to rate all of them this would be the best one. Very descriptive, but a fine tale

  • i am reading this book and its awsome

  • I hated the book. was forced to read it thats why

  • This movie needs to be on Blue ray...I love this movie and the book!

  • A good movie as far as a Disney's children adaptation goes. The book is much better and is yet to be made into a decent film. If you don't agree with me just read the book again, then you will remember.

  • Just finsihed re-reading the book. I love Verne. Walt Disney did this film justice as he and Verne were of the same caste of mind.

  • yes, you are right. The book is always better...does anyone read books anymore? Jules Verne wrote a century ago but his tales are still worth reading...

  • @ Humberusmarius: Hardly a child's adaptation. Maybe it is a product of the fifties, squeaky clean with no foul language and the like, but it is mostly a serious film.

  • I think you are right, a squeaky clean product of the fifties. It's the whole pet seal scene with Ned Land that came to mind when I said it was a kid's movie. I wish they had not changed Nemos origin, since he is an Indian aristocrat who hates the European power that destroyed his family, at least in the book. The Nautilus (Goff design) looks too much like a sea monster. Still a better movie than the other more recent adaptations. The Ben Cross and Michael Caine versions were awful.
