The oceans during the late 1800s are no longer safe; many ships have been lost. Sailors have returned to port with stories of a vicious narwhal (a giant whale with a long horn) which sinks their ships. A naturalist, Professor (Pierre) Aronnax, his assistant, Conseil, and a professional whaler, Ned Land, join a US expedition which attempts to unravel the mystery.

    The special effects in this movie are surprisingly good considering it was made almost 60 years ago. It's a Disney movie and it's aimed at younger viewer, with simple over the top characters. It's a classic that can still be shared with kids.

    I cannot imagine a more slow paced and boring movie than this The pacing was so dreadfully slow watching paint dry would likely be more exciting.
