Disney assigned one crew to to create a documentary about the production of the film, which was then broadcast under the Disneyland TV series on December 8 , According to modern sources, that hour-long promotional program entitled "Operation Undersea" was referred to in the film industry as "The Long, Long Trailer", in reference to use as a publicity program.
The film had its world premiere on December 23 , Critics adored it, thus showering it with virtually unanimous praise. Audiences fondly remember it primarily for its giant squid battle sequence as well as the Nautilus itself and James Mason's portrayal of Captain Nemo.
The film was also highly praised for the performances of the leading actors. Mason was especially singled out for his performance of Captain Nemo. Many people who had first seen him on-screen in the film identify him most strongly with this role. Bosley Crowther, who was a film critic from the New York Times , gave the film a generally positive review by saying, "As fabulous and fantastic as anything he has ever done in cartoons is Walt Disney's "live-action" movie made from Jules Vern's 20, Leagues Under the Sea.
Turned out in CinemaScope and Technicolor, it is as broad, fictitiously, as it is long minutes , and should prove a sensation — at least with the kids. Modern-day film critic Steve Biodrowski said that the film is "far superior to the majority of genre efforts from the period or any period, for that matter , with production design and technical effects that have dated hardly at all.
The film was theatrically re-released two times — in and It's also nominated for Best Film Editing. On March 4 , , the film became one of the first 13 titles to be released in the newly-formed Walt Disney Home Video. On May 20 , , the film was first released on two-disc DVD. The film is one of Disney's greatest, most popular and most iconic live-action ones.
It became a noteworthy masterpiece of the Disney corporation, representing the highest caliber. The film's success proved once and for all that the way ahead for the studio was in live-action movies, as animated features became much more expensive to produce. Disneyland used the original sets as a walk-through attraction from to Walt Disney World 's Magic Kingdom also had a dark ride named 20, Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage from to , which consisted of a submarine ride, complete with the giant squid attack.
In , a dark ride at Tokyo DisneySea was created. Due to its success, Disney has occasionally referenced the film in their later movies. The name of Nemo could have also been meant as a nod to Captain Nemo. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has a scene near the beginning in which Jack Sparrow and his crew end up on a small island with cannibalistic natives. The scene in which Jack rushes to the Black Pearl while being chased by the natives may have been a reference to a similar scene in 20, Leagues , in which Ned Land and Conseil travel to an island with cannibals, with the former similarly rushing toward the boat while being chased by the natives.
It serves as an origin story for the central character, Captain Nemo, as he builds his warship, the Nautilus. McG has remarked that it will be "much more in keeping with the spirit of the novel" than the original film, in which it will reveal "what Aronnax is up to and the becoming of Captain Nemo, and how the man became at war with war itself.
McG once suggested that he wanted Will Smith for the role of Captain Nemo, but he has reportedly turned down the part. As a second possible choice, McG had mentioned Sam Worthington, whom he worked with on Terminator Salvation, though they did not ever discuss it seriously.
The project was later shelved in November with McG backing out of directing. In the meantime, Fincher began courting Brad Pitt to play the role of Ned Land while the film was kept on hold.
However, in February , it was announced that Pitt had officially turned down the role. Despite this, the film was put on hold again the following month due to complications in casting a lead. On July 17 , , Fincher dropped out of the film to direct the adaptation of Gone Girl.

In Jules Verne completed his novel twenty thousand leagues under the sea. The book was released in two parts and thus become a classic. Although there were appeared in Verne's time, all submarines that are not on the advanced submarine that plays the leading role in twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
As usual, Verne was ahead of its time. Thirty-five years the idea of Verne's novel to film popped up on in the United States. It was Designer Harper Goff who for the Disney Studios worked on the plans for a Disneyland amusement park, went on to play with that idea.
He got inspiration when Walt Disney asked him to view recordings that could possibly be used underwater for a Disney nature documentary. Goff made sketches for a story board for the documentary and then got inspiration for making film about twenty thousand leagues under the sea. He made a series of sketches based on a scene from the book where the seabed is explored.
He discussed the idea with Disney which, however, said it was impossible to film the book of Verne because M-G-M possessed the rights. Still, the idea now also in Disneys spirit roaming around. He did ask and it turned out that M-G-M had the rights not at all, in fact, that they were on sale. Disney acquired the rights and in started the preproduction of a cartoon around twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
In the fall of began to change Disney's idea and he tended to the film not as a cartoon, but with real actors. It was a tough decision, because the cost for such production were high. Disney already had experience with movies with real actors, such as Treasure Island and The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men , but those were at low cost included in England with British actors.
Twenty thousand leagues under the sea would be a movie with a multimillion budget with big American stars and included in the Disney studio in the us. Since that studio was equipped for making cartoons would there need to be invested in new equipment and personnel. At the same time, Disney was working on the plans for Disneyworld and here were the costs are high.
Finally saw the Disney cartoon and decided to make a feature-length film around Verne's book. There had to be a scenario and now a Director. For the latest feature in view of Disneys fell Richard Fleischer. Fleischer itself was surprised at the offer, after all, his father Max Fleischer was the largest competitor in the field of animated films. He asked, therefore, Disney or that he knew that Max Fleischers son.
Disney said he was aware of this, but that he saw as the most appropriate Director Richard Fleischer. He had the family comedy The Happy Time from Fleischer been seen and was very impressed. The scenario of this movie was by Earl Felton and also he was contracted by Disney. Max Fleischer was retired for years and his film company swallowed up by Paramount Pictures.
He told Disney that he had made a good choice by hiring his son. They buried the hatchet and were even friends. Walt Disney took out scenarist Earl Fenton on board and carried it on the book by Verne to edit into a film scenario. The book has plenty of action but is slow in the Act. Fenton shortened it and maintained the more action-driven scenes. He also tried to explain the motivation of Captain Nemo by the Commander of the Nautilus as a man with a mission, destroying weapons of war.
The Nemo by Fenton is also much more aggressive than Verne's Nemo. While Fenton was there he worked on the screenplay, unaware of that Disney had put a screenwriter to work yet, John Tucker Battle. Eventually the version of Tucker Battle not used. Kirk Douglas , who plays the role of Ned in the film, suggested some changes in the scenario.
Douglas had read the scenario and was not happy with the fact that his character had nothing to do with women and got no fight scenes. The actor saw himself as a macho and a womaniser, an actor who plays roles that much physical strength requirements.
For that reason specifically for Douglas was a scene added that he comes walking with two women on his arms. It was also a fight scene for the character Ned written. After Fenton had delivered his scenario, the sign Division went to work. On the basis of the scenario was an extensive storyboard created.
It was the first time that this was done for a feature film. Eventually there were drawings created for the storyboard. The film exhibits some differences from the book. The Nautilus used in the movie atomic energy as power source instead of electricity. The island that Nemo as port used, comes in the book not for the sequel, but only in the mysterious island. Also the climax is different.
In the book gets Nemo regret letting sinking of a ship and sends a vortex in the Nautilus. Next we heard nothing more of the Nautilus to the serial shows that the Nautilus this survived.
Nemo dies In the film. With the choice for James Mason as Nemo Disney took out a big star within. Mason would be for the rest of his career associated with this role.
Mason was not the only candidate for the role, also another big star Gregory Peck auditioned. Charles Boyer was the first choice for the role of professor Aronnax, but he had to cancel due to other commitments. The role then went to Paul Lukas. Peter Lorre which usually was cast as the villain later stated that he was glad that the large squid had taken over the rogue role from him. Designer Harper Goff worked for the shots could start on the design for the Nautilus.
The dive boat from Goff is inspired by Verne and has a ram, electronic eyes, metal Combs, a tail, a divers room, atomic power and a salon. Despite its ingenuity knew Goff Disney not equal to convince. Only the sixth scale model found favor in his eyes.
Eventually became a Nautilus built 61 meters long and 8 meters wide was. Goff based his design on the outer appearance of a shark and an alligator. Disney was initially less happy with Goffs design, he wanted prefer the smooth cylinder that Verne in his book describes as the Nautilus. But Goff explained that his design was more logical and could be put together of scrap metal in the remote hideout of Nemo. Also designed the interiors of the Nautilus Goff with Nemo in his thoughts.
Nemo is a man with taste, the library, the houwerk, the copper ornaments and the organ which, however, also the functionality of the submarine monitors.
