The Progress City Radio Hour – Episode 44 – Voyages Extraordinaires!

Walt and Kirk Douglas frolic on the set of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

We’re back with a new episode of the Progress City Radio Hour! This month we’re talking about voyages extraordinaires – Disney’s run-ins with Jules Verne and the scientific romances of old. Leading off, we talk about the making of the 1954 classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Disneyland exhibit it inspired. We also look at other Disney attractions featuring Verne, from Horizons to Tokyo DisneySea’s Mysterious Island to Disneyland Paris’s Discoveryland. And to top it off, there’s a story about the making of the Disney Verne-wannabe picture Island at the Top of the World, and the magnificent unbuilt Disneyland area which it inspired, Tony Baxter’s fabled Discovery Bay.
