Synopsis
THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE (Czech: Vynález zkázy, literally The Deadly Invention or An Invention for Destruction) is a 1958 Czech adventure film directed by Karel Zeman. Based on several works by Jules Verne, primarily his 1896 novel Facing the Flag, the film evokes the original illustrations for Verne's works by combining live actors with various forms of animation. In it an evil millionaire named Artigas plans to use a super-explosive device to conquer the world from his headquarters inside an enormous volcano.
Director
Karel Zeman (1910-1989) was a Czech film director, artist, pupeteer and animator. After early success with the character Mr Prokouk, and with both glass, INSPIRATION (1949) and cutout animation, A TREASURE OF BIRD ISLAND (1952), he dazzled the film world with a couple special-effects masterpieces JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME (1955) and THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE (1958).
