While everyone remembers all of Disney’s classic animated movies, their live action films. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is an example of one of their best with its impressive special effects, and sense of journey and adventure based on the works of Jules Verne. The story follows a sailor, a professor and his assistant as their ship is destroyed by some bizarre submarine. They later find the submarine and get on board to meet the captain of the ship, Nemo.
Nemo is an interesting villain, because he has his reasons for wanting to destroy ships since he has seen them enslave hundreds of people and sees himself as an avenger for them. The movie itself is really fun, because of how much the characters explore and the different dangerous situations they run into. The sailor is played by Kirk Douglas and is so charismatic in the role. He’s the only character that can be relatable, which makes him kind of the point of view character to all the strange stuff going on.
