The longstanding standard translation of ‘20,000 Leagues’ was revealed to be inaccurate and lazy. I just read a new translation by an Englishman who is a French expert. Excellent.

I thought the 1960s version of 20,000 Leagues by Disney was pretty decent.

I have seen a couple more since then and none were as good. Kirk Douglas was good too.
