Nostalgia is a wonderful thing

I first saw this movie in 1958 when I was 10 years young. It left a lasting impression on me. When I saw it was still available, I just had to have it. It was more than I expected. And a better movie than I thought it was at the time and even immediately before taking delivery of it. The characters are well developed, the special effects quite convincing and the cinematography equal to Disney's best. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who saw it in the '50s or '60s. I'm 77 now, and I'm so glad I sprung for the dvd. Worth every penny.Read full review

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

I saw this film during its first run in the theaters. It was great then and still is today.
I enjoyed seeing all the old actors of yesteryear. They were special. Not like the actors today. I worked with Kirk Douglas in Israel in the 80s. I was quite nervous as he had a reputation for being difficult. I want to say he was the kindest most professional actor you could ask for. I enjoyed him from the day he arrived in Israel and that goes for his lovely wife as well. At the end he gave me the nicest compliment I ever got from an actor telling me it was the best production he ever worked on. God bless him as he is 100 years old.Read full review

Super great story with marvelous acting. A wonderful movie!

This is an excellent movie! One of the best adventure films!
Be sure to watch the director's commentary, it is a fascinating
story of how the film was made.
The first giant squid came apart & caused them to redo
the whole scene which made them go millions
over budget and James Mason nearly drown.

Still a masterpiece

After many years of waiting, Disney finally releases their debut live action 20,000 Leagues on blu-ray. And it looks beautiful. Those that did not grow up wit this wonderful film may expect a musical. For them, sad to say,it is not, though Kirk Douglas spins a pretty decent Whale of a Tale early into the film. It is a decent retelling of the classic novel & holds up (...ok, maybe with the exception of the rather lame "nuclear powered" engine room instead of the book's electrical power). But an amazing cast, a pre-steampunk submarine design, & a bit of B-movie monster put in for fun & excitement. The sets look good & the story never slows down.

A masterful piece of film magic like only Disney could deliver

This was actually Walt Disney's first non-animated full on film. It goes beyond expectations when it comes to those who choose a book over a film adaptation. Its gripping, beautifully shot, engaging, captivating... I grew up watching this film and in a world of pokeybirds and angrymon and what have you, my own children are now inspired by this film.
