20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

I saw the 1954 Disney version of the film last night. I was pleasantly surprised - the special effects hold up pretty darn well, and the Nautilus is awesome.

The most disturbing portion of the film is Kirk Douglas's rump-shaking musical number. I did not need to see that man gyrate in pants that tight. Who knew he could sing?
