"Largely forgotten amid the many other fantasy adventures from around this time, this one is a gem. A slow start, and the antiquated attitudes of the explorers are cringeworthy, but it gets going!

A replica of the Hyperion airship from the movie was planned for the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, in an unrealized section called Discovery Bay. The original plan was to have the blimp fly out from a replica of Captain Brieux's hangar. Designs were adapted for use in the Discoveryland section at Disneyland Resort Paris, where a replica of the film's French dirigible is an attraction.
