Amazing that there is that much to say about this particular attraction. Kinda makes me want to seek out the Pirates' and the Mansion's docs.

Is the Pirates one the same documentary that turned up as a bonus on that first Depp PIRATES film, or are these new productions? (What are the titles of these?) Suppose it's too much to hope a 20,000 LEAGUES attraction (looking at the Disneyland display, the Disney World ride, etc) might be out there. With the Nautilus ride gone from the Florida park, I'm very glad my love of that film as a teen found me shooting a lot of Super 8 footage of it back in the Seventies. (With an eye toward using some of it as stock footage for my aborted Super 8 Captain Nemo film.)

At first I thought it was one of those RedBoxNet dealies they were selling at the Park a few years ago. They also had the 3 CD set, but I know that the mp3 files for all of that stuff are freely available online so I passed on that. From what I can tell these were new docs, which used lots of VHS footage without permission, but also (the good stuff) lots of interviews with Disney and ex-Disney personnel. The guy apparently was sued or told to cease and desist, so the website does not exist anymore. I could only find a few comments online, though the DVDs apparently still sell on eBay (search for the title of this thread.) Good luck.

I tried it in 8mm and it was to dark to see anything. I am also curious if anyone else remembers seeing the small squid puppet which was on display inside the viewport behind the curtain at the entrance to the exhibit. You had to pull back the curtain so I doubt if many people ever even knew it was there.
