Today on Far Future Horizons we would like to offer our dear and faithful readers an Evening with Jules
Verne.
Our two video features for today are two Vernian movie
classics: Walt Disney's 20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea (1954) and the Mysterious
Island (1961) produced by Charles H. Schneer and the legendary special
effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen.
Among Ray Harryhausen’s most notable works are his
animation on Mighty Joe Young (with pioneer Willis O'Brien, which won the
Academy Award for special effects) (1949), The
7th Voyage of Sinbad (his first colour film) and Jason and the Argonauts, featuring a famous sword fight against
seven skeleton warriors.
