  Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (or Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne (1828—1905), published in 1870 under the title Vingt mille lieues sous les mers.
The word leagues in the English title is a literal translation of lieues, but purists prefer 20,000 Miles Under the Sea whereas twenty thousand leagues is sixty thousand miles (about 96,651 kilometres).
One of the Magic Kingdom's inaugural rides was called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and was based on the novel.

Under the combined efforts of the wind and its four hundred horse power, it was going at the rate of thirteen knots.
He found that the sea was pouring into the fifth compartment; and the rapidity of the influx proved that the force of the water was considerable.
Under this the Abraham Lincoln attained the mean speed of nearly eighteen knots and a third an hour- a considerable speed, but, nevertheless, insufficient to grapple with this gigantic cetacean.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a masterful science fiction classic and the crowning achievement of Verne's impressive literary legacy.
He has forsaken all of humanity and retreated beneath the sea, yet he shows great compassion to his crewmen and to the poor on earth; he is generally self-absorbed and emotionless, yet we see glimpses of an emotional trauma that constantly afflicts him and is capable of destroying him.
They marvel at the animal life under the waves; explore underground forests, oyster beds, deep trenches; gaze with somber eyes at great numbers of sunken vessels; fight off giant squids and dangerous sharks; cast their eyes upon the sunken continent of Atlantis; and burrow underneath the polar ice caps to emerge at the South Pole.

 Filmtracks: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Mark Snow)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was an original ABC Miniseries starring Michael Caine as Captain Nemo.
What results is a symphonic score perfect for the sea, with the swishing noises of water and bubbling of air at the great depths.
There are single moments --sometimes as long as a track-- where Snow perfectly incorporates the recognizable sound of other composers into his own works (I don't mean to say he is ripping anything off; he is just utilizing the best of many styles into one).

 TechnoFile Reviews 20000 Leagues Under the Sea on DVD
One of, if not the, best Walt Disney live action films, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is also one of the best science fiction movies of all time.
The monster, of course, is the Nautilus, and after it sinks the ship on which our trio of protagonists are sailing they are tossed into the sea and come across the submarine while its crew is performing an undersea burial for one of its crewmembers.
Thanks to Nemo's familiary with the professor's reputation, Arronax, Conseil, and Land are allowed to stay aboard, though under probation, and we get to see Captain Nemo’s masterpiece in action through a variety of adventures that include underwater farming, attacks on other ships, assault by cannibals, and the famous attack by a giant squid.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne follows adventurers in the advanced experimental submarine, the Nautilus, built in secrecy and commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo.
Some observers thought the submarine to be a marine mammal, and three of the book's heroes were thrown overboard during the "hunt" for it.
Some of Verne's ideas around submarines which were laid out in the book turned out to be somewhat prophetic including the high speed and secrete conduct of today's nuclear attack submarines and the necessity to surface for fresh air.
