Czechoslovakian animator Karel Zeman<\/a> made The Fabulous World of Jules Verne<\/em> in 1958 and it is, without exception, the finest example of Verne on film that I have ever seen.\u00a0 It is an adaptation of Verne’s novel, Facing the Flag<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0 The combination of live action and Mysti-Mation (sets and animation painted to look like illustrations) not only evokes the atmosphere of old book illustrations, but it evokes the visual act of imagination that happens when I read a Jules Verne book. This film is perfection. I’m somewhat distrustful of the ‘steampunk’ movement but I would certainly imagine that this film must be one of its holy grail objects of worship.\u00a0 It should be for sure.\u00a0 Disney could never come close to this, then or now, because they are focused solely upon happiness.<\/p>\n

Parts 2 through 8 after the jump!<\/p>\n
