Disney's first CinemaScope motion picture "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" was a resounding success and went on to be considered one of greatest live-action adventure movies ever made.<br/><br/>In 1868 off the coast of San Francisco Professor Aronnax Paul Lukas his assistant Conseil Peter Lorre and master harpooner Ned Land Kirk Douglas set sail upon a armed frigate to investigate a spate of sinkings rumored to be caused by a sea monster. After months of searching the "monster" is spotted sinking a merchant vessel and the frigate attacks only to be sunk themselves. Adrift in the ocean the three come upon a strange metal vessel and realize the "monster" is a "submerging boat." The trio are captured by Captain Nemo James Mason and taken aboard the submarine the Nautilus and journey on a voyage of adventure and discovery under the sea.<br/><br/>Nominated for three Academy Awards winning two for Art Direction and Special Effects.<br/><br/>Shot on location in California Jamaica and the Bahamas. <br/><br/>Blue titled wrappers with affixed Walt Disney Productions label as called for with Disney scripts from this era noted as FINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT on the front wrapper with credits for screenwriter Earl Felton.
