My kids LOVED this movie. Why did I wait so long to show it to them!!!

A silly, fun, and at times slow film that was the first (and not last) attempt at telling this Jules Verne story. Mason does good and it's great to see him clash with Dahl on- and off-screen. Compared to the special effects filled remake with Brendan Fraser, this one actually is more concerned with plot and characters which makes it superior.
