20k Leagues

James Mason



The fans of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" are familiar with the story of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. This movie version has the fight with the squid, the ramming of an enemy ship, and some crazy antics from Ned Land. Ned's character is a bit more personable and fun here than in the novel. James Mason does an excellent job playing Nemo which this script follows Verne's idea of what Nemo stood for. Here, Captain Nemo has a mission - to end war and have the nations be at peace with each other. For those who have not read the novel, here is an online version of the novel by Jules Verne. (There are three different online novel links on this site.)


20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is one of the BEST sites dedicated to the Disney movie. I highly recommend visiting this site.

A good article discussing Jules Verne and the Disney movie is this site: Between Jules Verne and Disney It is lengthy and pretty good. Here are some pictures from the movie.


This is a really cool site! Someone recreated the divesuits in this movie for a G.I.Joe. This site shows pictures and how to make the dive suit (among other things). They have even created a design for the "box" that the G.I.Joe would come in.

Verne's Nautilus has pictures and articles on the Nautilus presented in Verne's novel.

Life and works of Jules Verne and Jules Verne give a biography and articles on Verne.

Lynn's James Mason Page is a fansite dedicated to the man who portrayed Nemo. James Mason Movies lists the movies he starred in and James Mason is another site with pictures, information and links.

Dimensional Designs offers a resin model of a diver and a friend William Babington is offering models of the Nautilus for sale. William does an excellent work - you won't be disappointed with anything you purchase from him.
