Filming 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Life Magazine’s website has pictures up from a 1954 photo shoot of the Disney movie adaptation of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It is amazing to see how far SCUBA and underwater filming has come in 55 years! 20,000 Leagues is perhaps one of the most formative components to my interest in marine science and always has a very special place in my heart.

Hat tip to Boing Boing!

  It’s also one of the most plodding and pedantic SF movies ever made.
