Its Jules Verne and I remember having some very positive experiences with him at a very young age. So it has that going for it even if its not really the Jules Verne story, at least not in anything but name and concept.

When I was little there was a made-for-TV movie that looked like it was intended to start a series that never happened and all the kids on the block ate it up.

Unfortunately the made-for-TV movie was better.

This version suffers from the same failure that Beowulf did....it was just too much.
