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. Already in 1916, the book was made into a film by Stuart Palin withAllan Holubar and starring Than Hanlon . ===Of cartoon to feature film<span class="mw-editsection" len="371" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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 Disneylandamusement 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 1952 started the preproduction of a cartoon around twenty thousand leagues under the sea. In the fall of 1952 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(1950) and The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men (1952), 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. ===Fleischer<span class="mw-editsection" len="353" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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 (1952) from Fleischer been seen and was very impressed. The scenario of this movie was by Earl Felton and also he was contracted by Disney. Fleischer and Felton had already worked for The Happy Time and movies delivered as Armored Car Robbery (1950) and The Narrow Margin (1952). Hiring Richard Fleischer led to the reconciliation between Max Fleischer and Walt 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. ==Scenario<span class="mw-editsection" len="352" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Read warning: text below contains details about the content and/or the end of the story.===Fenton<span class="mw-editsection" len="350" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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 1300 drawings created for the storyboard. ===Comparison with the book<span class="mw-editsection" len="369" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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. ==Actors<span class="mw-editsection" len="352" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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 starGregory 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. ==Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="354" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Read warning: text below contains details about the content and/or the end of the story.===Decors<span class="mw-editsection" len="351" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">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. Goff also made a scaled down model that filmed with a standard lens anyway ' normal ' looked on the Cinemascope format. The model could obviously not independent boat ride, so if the Nautilus Rams a screen on the silver screen, the lines are visible to which it is merged. Special effects by the Department were Later air bubbles added to the conscious scene to those threads to disguise. Because Goff was not a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), he was not allowed to stand on end credits as an art director or designer and therefore are not eligible for an Oscar nomination. Goff was here very angry about it, especially when Disney made no move to speak about this to the IATSE. It was all the worse when the IATSE Disney forced to still to hire an art director. John Meehan was adopted and he would carry out the designs of Goff. Meehan himself designed the scenery for the play in San Francisco and sets that at Abraham Lincoln. Peter Ellenshaw made the matte-paintings ===Diving Equipment<span class="mw-editsection" len="359" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the books are also divers for those primitive divers suits wear. The design Department designed a series of divers that divers could walk on the bottom of the sea. The suit consisted of a helmet, a rubber grab and oxygen bottle. The suit weighed 112 pounds and because of the cold carried the divers long underwear, wool socks and leather gloves. ===Locations<span class="mw-editsection" len="353" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">For the shots used several locations on the Bajhama's and Jamaica warden. The scenes in the caves were gefilms in the park by the cliffs of Negril in Jamaica Xtabi. Jamaica was also the setting for the scenes that played on the kanibaleneiland and on New Guinea. Further was filmed in Nassau, Lyford Cay and in Death Valley. The studio recordings were made in the converted Disney Studios in Burbank. ===Recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="352" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The recordings started on January 11, 1954 and were closed on 19 June 1954. Although it worked with a fixed team of 54 man were some recordings so complex that the technical team sometimes grew to over four hundred people. About 20 tonnes of equipment was used that was transported in six ships. For the underwater shots was a special Aquaflexcamera developed and a system to a standard to use Mitchell camera in a waterproof casing. The underwater shots were made more difficult because there is no good communication was possible and there but for fifty minutes oxygen was for the team. To prevent decompression sickness also had to be taken into account within that fifty minutes coming down and taking off in the water in phases that together lasted twenty minutes. In Lyford Cay could only be filmed between 10 am and 4 pm, before the clouds the Sun's eyes. To best use the time underwater was predetermined and elaborate scenes, while the actors rehearsed extensively on the country. For the recordings of the funeral scene was an fllmploeg of 22 man eight days in rope. The sea floor was covered with hemp fiber to prevent the team would kick up sand and mud. ===Studio recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="359" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The outdoor shots were decided on 2 March 1954 and on March 10, started the shooting in the studio. The Disney studio in Burbank was originally intended for animated films and had to be thoroughly renovated. A third sound set was installed with a water tank of 27 at 50 yards. In this tank was filmed the scene in which the hidden treasure is found. It was also used outside areas of the studios of Twentieth Century-Fox and Universal. ===Cinemascope<span class="mw-editsection" len="356" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film was shot with the Cinemascope system. Since Bausch & Lomb which the camera lenses for this process could produce not enough lenses manufactured one Disney had to lease of Twentieth Century-Fox, the only movie studio that until then with Cinemascope worked. This caused great delay because now only one film crew to work at the same time could. Since the Cinemascope makes it difficult to film close-ups, lack they total in the the film. ===The scene with the big squid<span class="mw-editsection" len="379" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The shooting of the scene with the large squid was embodied in the week of March 10, 1954 in the tank of sound set 3.. Chris Mueller had a mechanical life-size doll made with tentacles of rubber and steel springs.The whole was controlled through wires, according to the scenario could be the fight take place in a calm sea, against a sunset. When the team was working on a week, left Disney to stop the shooting. He found the scene too unrealistic to come across. The threads that made the whole thing very looked fake. The record again. It was decided to change the background of the scene and the calm sea turning into a fierce due to a storm, the sunset was changed to night. By these interventions could cover up the cables and the scene looked much more realistic. Downside was that there had to be filmed and again six days there came to $ 200,000 extra costs ===The scene with the cannibals<span class="mw-editsection" len="371" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the scene with the cannibals had to Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre to the beach rowing in a small skiff. The boat was made of wood and painted so that the metal appeared. Thanks to the wood boat was very light and had to be weighted with sandbags to realistic to lie in the water. When the boat was pulled to the beach for the shots removed the film crew the pockets but forgot to submit them back. Kirk Douglas was not aware and when he terugholde he expected for the camera to the boat that the vessel would lie deep in the water. He sat down and brought the paddles to the water, but estimated the distance wrong in and fell back. Director Richard Fleischer found it all very nice and kept the scene in the movie. It was not the only comic element to the recordings. A number of inhabitants of Jamaica who were hired to play with as Cannibal texts painted on their foreheads.
