The Fabulous World Of Jules Verne (1958)

A truly unique adventure from Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman ("Baron Munchausen") which uses live action, animation, puppets, and engravings to tell a story based on "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Mysterious Island," and other Verne tales. A scientist and his assistant working on an explosive new energy source are kidnapped by pirates hired by a nasty industrialist.
