I haven't seen Mysterious Island since I was a kid, but I remember being bored until Harryhausen's critters appeared. Isn't that the one with the giant bees, turtle, crab, etc?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-32310244090236564852007-10-16T04:40:00.000-07:002007-10-16T04:40:00.000-07:00Actually Major, the seashell diving suits are from...Actually Major, the seashell diving suits are from a different (non-Disney) film; Ray Harryhausen's 1961 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. The book upon which it was based is Verne's sequel to 20,000 LEAGUES so that explains the presence of both Capt. Nemo and his Nautilus (an interesting variation on the Goff version). Capt. Nemo is played by Herbert Lom. There's a nice-looking DVD available, so check it out to scratch your seashell helmets itch!Rod Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08451942511074191425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-31151666285286977292007-10-15T17:15:00.000-07:002007-10-15T17:15:00.000-07:00Peter: I did the very same thing when I saw the m...Peter: I did the very same thing when I saw the movie. In fact I still have several of the pencil drawings of both Nemo in his diving suit (he was the only one with the light over to top), and the sub being attached by the squid. I did poor on a couple of school tests because of the time I spent on those drawings.

It was about 3 to 4 feet long. I remember seeing it. That very model sold on e-bay awaile back, and is being restored. The bridge looks like a miniture because it is (in a way). It was made at 80% of movie set size using all the original set parts (most were wood).
