[Music]

so

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

if you've come to sell

you're in the wrong shop

we've enough stock on hand up to our

necks

but these are bargains indeed

wisdom bomb and distraction for the most

jaded intellect all for only three

grocers the lot

sir

you know

they're only fit to like fires with

look at those dog-eared pages and rotten

findings

don quixote

by the spaniard whose name is

practically impossible to pronounce

cervantes man cervantes and you're the

only person i know who can't pronounce

it

just look at this professor leedenbrock

bernie dreadful called the fantastic

journey of han suk muslim in two grocers

that's hardly a loaf of bread and a

flask of wine in these difficult times

stick your price man freeze fair

creature

the be

sir you will long remember and never

forget well an act of pure charity

that's what i should call it charity is

its own reward

for those who can read the writing on

the wall

and what on earth you suppose you meant

by that

what a strange story

by a man who claims to made a journey

to the center of the earth

humbuck

i agree

we are scientists not adventurous

the most fruitful theories about the

structure of the earth

have come from sitting in a quiet room

using one's brain

not from poking about inside some damp

and evil smelling caverns

you're quite right

such as your own idiotic theory that the

core of the earth is composed of an

incandescent ball of liquid fire

now it has more validity than you're in

a notion

that the earth's center is a solid rock

all covered with layers of lava like the

skin of an onion

the fact is you're both wrong all recent

studies indicate that the core of the

earth can only be gaseous gentlemen

the truth is that all our theories are

just that theories

none of us has the least idea of how the

earth was really fought

because the distance

between the earth's crust and its core

is over

6500 kilometers

and no man has ever descended to a depth

of more than three miles

so it's obvious we'll never have a

glimmer of true knowledge

until we are able to reach a depth of at

least a hundred leagues uh what's your

opinion professor lee brock

well gentlemen on one point at least i

agree with professor christoph

the materials of the geologist are not

charts chalk and chatter but the earth

itself now this little book i'm reading

describes a descent through the mouth of

a volcano into the very bowels of the

earth

but with an imagination that puts all

our theories to shape

it's only a work of fiction of course

but it's very existence buttresses

christoph's argument that we shall never

know the truth

until we're able to make that journey

and see for ourselves

only six more to go

why am i the one who has to crawl around

after those wretched little rocks when

you're the one that spilled them they

are not little rocks this is the

collection of otto lindenbrock and the

long and the short of it is i know how

to classify them and you don't

i have some good news today they're

going to let us cadets participate in

the summer maneuvers between pressure

and oscar in the bavarian forest how

thrilling

it occurred to me that if you're still

going to salzburg on that ridiculous

cave crawling expedition with your uncle

perhaps we could all meet later and take

a trip down to danube that depends on

when your ridiculous maneuvers are over

maneuvers are not ridiculous they are an

essential part of military training and

as bismarck said a nation's army is a

nation's backbone

little boys who never grew up playing

silly little war games so they can sleep

outdoors in tents

and hide behind trees

well it's not as silly as climbing in

and out of caves and collecting

worthless rocks

you better get the soup ready marta he's

coming

he's at least 10 minutes early today

well what does that matter you know what

a fanatic uncle otto is about having

lunch on the table the moment he gets in

the door

and give me the last one before he sees

that we spill them quick

stupid stones

professor i was just yes yes axel i

understand if it's all right with my

niece and it's perfectly all right with

me congratulations

did you hear that

except in my proposal even before i made

it

yes but i haven't after all why should i

want to marry a soldier

and why not

tell your uncle super service globin

because if there's a war you might get

killed and if there's no war you'll

never be promoted all in all i call that

a silly profession

that's a treason

lunch is ready uncle otto ah splendid

i'm a very good appetite today

what happens

what's this

it's in old english what looks to be a

map

tis a map

of iceland

you can examine it after lunch the

suit's getting cold yes yes darling you

run along i'll uh i'm right there

we'll go ahead and start marta

no no

i don't see what you can find so

interesting in an old map it's not the

map it's some kind of coded text printed

below it a coded text

yes he's going crazy trying to decipher

it then why didn't you tell me that in

the first place i could have done them

for him and saved him from missing lunch

what do you know about unravelling codes

only slightly more than champolio

who is he

the frenchman that sold the mystery of

the egyptian hieroglyphics

do you think the only thing they teach

us in the military academy is how to

hide behind trees

oh dear dear dear me

seven hours and all we've managed to

decipher is the signature

if only we could establish what language

this message is written in

well since the book is written in old

english i feel sure the code must be in

english also

it could take us weeks to go through

every possible combination of these

letters

not weeks months the way you're going

about it shout polly on

look over here

why didn't we think of that before

this doesn't work either

now wait globin

go back to the series you had before

ah

now it looks like russian

yes yes i'm afraid it's a hopeless task

well i'll be

in the words of my distinguished

colleague darwin i'll be a monkey's

uncle

look at this

it even rhymes well i'll be dashed

sniffles you will see provides the

master key and scottish indicates the

entrance to the gates but the tale i've

told is true the rest i leave to you

the writing on the wall that strange old

man was right

well

what does it all mean it means axel that

you and i are in the privileged position

of having made one of the most important

discoveries in the entire history of

science

we can't do anything about it until next

year uncle lotta you're being obscure

again oh global my dear child can't you

understand this account of zach newsom's

journey to the center of the earth is

all true he actually did it he found the

way in that's fantastic

and this coded message provides the only

information he concealed in the whole

book

the mountain the enter to reach the

earth in the crust which is snuffles we

now know and the peak which by shadow

cast on a certain day of the year

indicates the actual mouth of the cave

through which we had to descend scottish

peak atop mount sniffles they really do

exist

but why wait another year before

following nuisance footsteps

following his footsteps the very thought

of it's absurd ah

unfortunately according to the book

the only day of the year in which the

sun cast a meaningful shadow on scottish

peak is june the 19th at 11 29 am

ah

today is june the 20th exactly what a

pity

i can't bear to wait another whole year

haven't you forgotten this book was

written at the time of the julian

calendar

what do you mean but of course

and now we're using the gregorian

calendar which differs from the julian

by 10 days which means it's really june

the 10th and we can still make it

but only if we catch that morning train

for burma however

martyr coming once

i can't believe all this now let's start

collecting everything we may need

you wanted to see me professor i'm

please pack our bags immediately we

should be leaving first thing in the

morning is the journey short or is it

long i mean how shall i know what to

pack

marta we are going on a journey a

journey to the center of the earth in

that case

i won't need to pack your umbrella i

support new boots

i forbid it globin

i absolutely forbid you to go with your

uncle on this foolhardy trip

the bowels of the earth is not a fit

place for a woman i'm afraid axel is

right my dear a journey like this could

prove far too hazardous even for a girl

as brave as you

but you can't go alone on collotto who

would look after you if you fell and

broke a leg or something of the sort

i shall of course

even though it means i shall miss the

war maneuvers

oh axel that's so noble of you

very well if i must stay at home i just

have to make the best of it that's the

most sensible attitude globin thank you

[Music]

poor globin

she looks so forlorn waving goodbye to

stare at the station

i miss her already

yes i know exactly how you feel my dear

boy but you're perfectly right for being

here to come along

after all what possible you should a

woman be on an arduous trip like this

tickets tickets please give me a

t-section

but i don't have the tickets you must

have them what nobody always looks after

things like that did you give them to

you

but i professor identity bought anything

good

i think i've got to bring the money as

well

never mind i have enough food

i'll be dashed

i left my wallet in the pocket of my uni

dear this is indeed a complicated

situation no

there's nothing complicated about it

you either pay me now or you'll get off

at the next station we can't do that

ma'am we're mr bertoregovic

you two would forget your own two heads

if they weren't screwed on

[Music]

what do you call this it's a grabometer

to measure the density of certain gases

you know how to use it

nobody is as familiar with the

instruments as i am you axel the more

important task you are going to keep a

diary of our daily events you can rely

on me for that professor the first

problem is where to find a porter we

don't know anybody in iceland oh yes we

do

my old friend friedrichsen

we started together 30 years ago

i haven't seen him since but i'm quite

sure he'll help us

but where on earth we're going to find

him after all these years well that's

easy he haunts museums the way guests

haunt houses unless he's changed his

ways he'll be at the museum of natural

history

[Music]

while the two colleagues were recalling

old times and discussing the subjects of

mutual interest cloven and i passed a

very instructive morning going through

the exhibits

[Music]

[Music]

is anything wrong sir

he's lost his monocle

could you please help us but of course

that's what i'm here for

is magnificently mountain everything is

my god what's he doing on the floor he

lost his monocle

ah

monica

and here you see the crown jewel of our

collection try not to donalise it for

nurses

the light of the eye my dear

friedrichson

but surely you haven't come all the way

from germany just to inspect our museum

no actually we've come to explore mount

sniffles there's no better example of a

dormant volcano in the northern

hemisphere a capital a there

if it weren't for this blasted count i'd

make the climb with it

now friend i must ask a favor

the address of a good store like an

artist for climbing in the like and the

name of a good porter who can guide us

up the mountain

the first is is enough but the second is

next to impossible hammer fred

impossible

it's a hurricane you know and every

able-bodied man in iceland is either out

in the boat or home mending the net can

you wait for a couple of weeks must be

without fail now

we have no use for tents anyway so it

doesn't matter

where do you want it over there make up

your minds this was a tongue here

now let me see we should want some cases

for our instruments globin please oh

what's that

a gas mask

you can breathe through it under almost

any circumstances

i see it might very well come in handy

we'll take four now what can you show me

the way of lamps the more portable the

better i have used the thing

now we're that good

ah yes

hans

would you move that barrel away

ah if it's lumps you're after it was

your good luck that brought you into the

only shop in town with a complete line

of high quality imported merchandise and

the finest native just shut up and show

them the lamps

here

this is the bloomed off

lantern roonka ah yes yes that should do

very well we'll take four of those also

axel

batman over there does he work for you

hands oh no he's my cousin

he comes down here once a month to help

me out

but he refuses to take a steady job in

town or on the boat and once a month

isn't much

he's a mountaineer a shepherd

and they are very proud

then why isn't he out tending his vlog

now that's a sad thing sir

last winter his entire flock was struck

by lightning in a thunderstorm

and he's been sitting around ever since

doing little else but whittle and play

his mouth organ

hunts

my friends and i are making an

expedition to mount sniffles

if i pay you a fair price you prepared

to come along and help us

why not use money

what's the sheep worth in this country

uh

three rickstals

supposing i pay you one sheep per week

with a bonus of two rams on our safe

return

when do we leave a dong as soon as we

pack our equipment

isn't that wonderful

we finally found work for hands

embassy

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

my word

mount sniffles

look at that view lovely

this view alone makes our journey

worthwhile

see those white vapers rising from the

floor of the crater

if an eruption were imminent

they'd be twice that size

how long professor

do we stay down there

hence i was going to tell you this later

the fact is we're going much deeper than

the floor of the crater

we are going to descend into the very

bowels of the earth now you can come

with us or you can go home

but i must warn you

we may be down there some considerable

time

days or weeks

more like weeks

weeks means sheep

i'll come

thank you

[Music]

down you go

it's deeper than i thought then don't

look down

as soon as we had located scarter's peak

in the bottom of the crater hans began

the descent followed by the professor

and globin

i brought up the rear in case anyone

might need assistance

here it is

hands bring the baggage

the line of the shadow

perfect look

a s on sub newsome this proves he's

telling the truth

um i never had the slightest out there

boy never the slightest doubt

hans the ladder here

just here fine

check your land axle check it

slowly hand slowly

right axel

you descend first hands

[Music]

for the first time i am beginning to

think that ansegnuzzon's story could be

true

and that what it seemed to be in

principle only a routine excursion has

now turned into an exciting adventure

although a bit risky especially for

those who have not had the good fortune

to receive adequate physical and mental

preparation

[Music]

all right professor

[Music]

it's deeper than it looks when your turn

comes you must be very careful clapping

[Music]

[Music]

right stand by darling right come on

down

easy does it now

easy

your turn axel

professor

are you absolutely certain that there's

no possibility of sniffles erupting in

the near future a stupid question

well

once more onto the breach dear friends

thanks to the careful selection and

packing of the most essential equipment

we have been able to reduce our load to

the minimum necessary

we have on hand instruments tools

weapons ropes provisions for 60 days and

drinking water for 10.

the quantity of water seems to me

insufficient although according to the

professor we will find what we need once

we have gone down deep enough into the

earth

hands you lead the way

wow

[Music]

professor

there are three possibilities here

how do we know which one to take

all of them look endless nothing will be

simpler we'll let sagnison be our guide

then

once again

this is where he mentions it

cave descending to the left

by lee don hands

[Music]

ow we lost the water

that's bad luck

still i'd rather be the water than the

instruments i feel sure we'll find some

good water later on

right here yes sir good care come on

then hans lead on

[Music]

how much do we have left in our canteen

only enough for the rest of the day

i was gonna film this evening

i should think it must be sundown by now

no wonder i'm so tired

no wonder i'm so hungry huh

it's bad

ah

wow

don't be too down-hearted we'll find

good water soon i feel sure of it

now then global some readings please

temperature parametric pressure

humidity 95

thermometer reading

uh seven degrees centigrade no wonder i

feel chilly what does the compass

indicate axel sagnessum says here we

should be heading in a westerly

direction dead west

good old sickness

right let's lead on hands come

if only he'd tell us when we're going to

find some drinkable water

[Music]

if this keeps up we'll never get through

that news

let me see

get your mustang

[Applause]

oh

[Applause]

you're right

it will be when i can get my hair washed

high

i know what you're thinking axel

we're out of water

we've lost our guidebook the only

sensible thing would be to turn back

while we can still find a way out

i must admit thought across my mind

professor

you'd be a fool if it hadn't

bear in mind

just ahead of us millions of years of

unrecorded history

are we going to ignore that and turn

back

or do we go on

i propose that we take a vote

all right globin you start

do we go forward like civilized

creatures

or do we turn back like cars

you know i wouldn't ruin your picnic

uncollotto i say forwards

thank you

axel

a man who wears the uniform of imperial

pressure can have but one answer

unfortunately

i say forward too

hands

forward

means she

backwards

means nothing

i say [ __ ]

that settles it there thank you

we go on lead the way hands

uncle otto suppose the votes have gone

against you

i should have ignored them idea what

possible progress would be if science

was a slave to democracy

come on

[Music]

how lovely

[Music]

uncle otto is that you

who is there

[Music]

what's that

[Music]

uh

[Music]

uncle otto

axel

[Music]

han

who is that

who's there

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

11.

[Music]

i like behind to look at those icicles

and then stumbled into this map

that much i can see

then the most incredible thing happened

just as i was about to go under someone

appeared and pulled me out that's absurd

there's nobody here but us i tell you i

felt a human hand pull me out of there

fantasy my dear child some sort of

tactile illusion you saved yourself by

clinging to that rock which has the

rough shape of a human hand

i'm the figure i saw hiding behind a

rock i suppose you'll tell me that's an

illusion also

undoubtedly with the disorientation the

lack of water all of us are under

considerable strain

uncle otto i tell you i saw someone a

common illusion known to geologists the

world over now on you must stick closer

to us

[Music]

i told you not to come on this trip

didn't i didn't i do shut up

which way now

i'm confronted with another choice

yes

now what frankly my dick lurbin at this

point your guess is as good as mine

frankly i'm getting sleepy

that's partly because it's been growing

warmer in the past couple of hours

trouble is

if we stop to rest now before we find

water

when we wake we may be too weak to

continue

how do you feel about axel

i could go on for miles professor

what is it hans

letters

like the other one

ah

old sec newsome coming to our aid once

again

come on all you cheer up he must have

the same problem with water as we have

maybe he didn't spill him

listen

did you hear that

it sounds like voices

human voices

what could it be or no idea

must be voices nonsense

isn't it at least possible that somebody

else might have found a path into the

earth the way we did it's a possibility

of course

but an extremely remote one

i suppose that's known to geologists the

world over as an acoustical illusion

perhaps they're animals of some sort

it could even be dangerous

quiet all of you

try not to make any noise

what

do you hear anything now did you hear

anything now do you hear anything right

anything now did you hear it wasn't

animals after all it was us

all right

[Music]

no way

uh should be safe enough here i'm

thirstier than ever and i can't go on

another step uncollotta

well

there's nothing else for white

you'd have to rest here

try to get some sleep

all right all right still say i saw a

real face back there not an illusion shh

little one try to get some sleep

hans where are you

hans

what are you doing

what

water

i'll get the others

wake up we got water

what

water where

just ahead hunts discovered an

underground stream

thank god

come on axel

let's go and see about sir

here right here

yes no doubt about it there's water

right here i think

no

over here no no no this is where i can

hear the noise best hands give me the

pick

professor i know mountains and i know

here is a good place

that's a bad place hans

as a professor of geology i also know

about caves and mountains and how to

break through them when necessary to

find water stand back

careful professor

have you lost your mind another reason

you're right this entire cabin will have

flapped on our heads

this simple mountain man showed more

common sense than you with all your

diplomas professor lindenbrock

who are you how do you know my uncle's

name

because i've read his books

and also because i've had to listen to

your incessant chatter during the past

10 miles of this tedious descent he

followed us into the earth hardly since

i began my descent two months ago

i prefer to find my own way in just as i

expect to find my own way out again

why

bend your hand

like any civilized man i include the

natural sciences among my hobbies

but naturally i also refuse to let their

so-called laws limit my outlook

well now that our paths have crossed it

would be sensible to travel together you

are welcome to the benefit of my

experience i think it should be made

perfectly clear that this expedition is

led by professor octo lindenbrook and

none other

my dear boy

my own interest lies in the acquisition

of knowledge itself enough accumulation

of dusty academic honors

did you ever hear such insults

how i'd love to have him for just one

day in my drill platoon don't be

comfortable axel now at least we have

something to drink at last

why don't you wait until it gets cool

[Laughter]

apart from the fact of calling himself

olsen and that he obviously belongs to

the human race we have learned very

little else concerning this particular

individual

all that we really have determined is

that his only equipment consists of a

mysterious metal box

is strange and startling materialization

was largely forgotten however in the

general delight resulting from the

discovery of water which from this

moment on we encountered in great

quantity

global appears to be the one most

affected by the annoying presence of

this olson

i'm afraid we've taken a wrong turn and

lost the others how tedious

at least we're alone for a change

if you're referring to the absence of mr

olsen i must say i find that no great

comfort well i think he's boring

conceited and rude yes who cares anyway

who cares what he's like when he has

such interesting eyes

well if that's all you can say

what happened it's all right now dear

boy

the worst is over

globin not a scratch on her in fact

she's out there having a swim

come on

i must be having hallucinations

my bar looks like an ocean

one of nature's prodigies my dear boy an

ocean below the surface of the sea

fresh water too

i can hardly believe my eyes the closure

you see above us is nearly a mile high

steady now steady

never in my whole life not even above

the earth have i seen a mineral

formation that could retain and project

so much light it's incredible

it's breathtaking

come on in

come on the water's beautiful drawn in

the water go on it'll do you good do you

know you've been unconscious for nearly

two days

run your head

[Music]

no wonder i feel groggy

how's the wrath coming along hands

it's gonna be finished i hope that

fossilized wood floats all right it'll

float well

if it doesn't i scarcely know what

caused to

[Music]

take are girls

[Music]

up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

may i have my cleanse back

sorry

olsen who are you really where do you

come from

your hand

what about my hand why

it's completely healed how is that

possible in so short a time but it is

possible you see

it was your hand that pulled me out of

there

wasn't it

i don't know what you're talking about

do you really think it's going to be

safe enough to sail in

hans assures me that it will float

i simply can't get over this strange

light it's uncanny

fantastic yes but no more so than the

aurora borealis and caused by the same

sort of simple ionization

look what i found what a pretty shell oh

my dear child treat that very gently

oh it turned to sand

all these things you see are fossils

nutshells globin does that mean there

are still living creatures out there i

should be very surprised to learn the

contrary axel

where are you going hands

i neither rather well you carry on

working we're going look for something

good heavens they look just like giant

mushrooms

they look like wooden mushrooms they are

mushrooms

millions of years ago they flourished

above the earth as well

now you stay here while i investigate

these could be dangerous

extraordinary

[Music]

it's perfectly preserved isn't a

greenhouse i wonder how many of these

should get to the pound

where could your uncle have got to

[Music]

uncle otto

professor

uncle otto

all right excellent globin you can join

me now

but take great care i'll explain

presently

come on

or gently why

it looks innocuous enough innocuous it

is not that pollen can be fatal if it

falls on you it can cause histoplasmosis

you see that sort of red dust on the top

of them it's dangerous huh as i've

already said can be fatal now we must

get away from here in case a breeze

springs up and loosens it now whatever

you do don't touch the mushrooms

ready out of here

hurry

[Music]

up was that

explosion

second earlier we'd have been underneath

that poison dust

awesome come on

you of all people who criticize me for

knocking a small hole in the cave wall

the vibrations you're causing will bring

this whole structure down on our heads i

have my experiments to perform just as

you have yours professor your so-called

experiments are putting all our lives in

jeopardy

our lives

do you really think the sort of work

you're doing is going to make any

difference to anyone's life on this

planet

there then uncle otto none of this is

worth arguing about who does he think he

is

putting all our lives in danger with his

ridiculous games

let's go and see other rafts coming

along

hello hans

i found a rudder well done hans how soon

do you think you'll be ready to launch

her

soon enough splendid you work very well

i'll get our gear together i'll go with

you

how do you feel oh much better now what

are you doing

it's incredible what yesterday you had a

deep gash in your forehead wounds

apparently here much faster here

than what a fine battleground it would

make

from the moment of its launching the

raft had proved that it could sail

beautifully to the great satisfaction of

everyone

we are maintaining a steady

southeasterly course of 145 degrees

and according to the calculations of the

professor we should be sailing directly

underneath the british isles

the only noticeable inconvenience has

been the discomfort produced in those

persons not trained to rise above every

type of difficulty

[Music]

today we received a welcome surprise i

think it's a like i got it i got it

excellent

give it to me

give it to me

what she does invite you

oh

what is trace looking fish do you think

it's edible i don't see why not

well cook it

i'm so hungry come on hans come on

be careful it's hot what about olsen

if he wants some let him come here and

get it

how does it taste global like a dream

thank you i'd say more like sturgeon

delicious i still think we should invite

olsen he gets more nourishment from his

books

it's growing warmer here

32 degrees

well

that's not excessive considering with

100 miles beneath the surface

is excessive enough for me

i'm going for a swim don't anybody look

you'll get a digestion

[Music]

it's wonderful

i've worked to do

take down this sounding axle

[Music]

oh quick him

help me

teeth marks good heavens still bitten

right through

look

[Applause]

monster

weapons

[Music]

all right

all right

[Music]

[Music]

just look at them two mythical enemies

face to face they existed on earth over

a million years ago and here we are

seeing them

i'll go to two gold marks on the one on

the left you lose axel

you'll end in a draw

with both of them dead

[Music]

give me the rifle hands we've got to get

out of here before the planet tracks

other monsters

quickly

[Music]

[Music]

get yours out

[Music]

professor look over there

looks like a giant whale

it's like an island of some sort

shall we go and visit him indeed perhaps

we should find some significant fossils

[Music]

excellent

[Music]

somebody must stay with her out new

hands look at that smoke rising out of

the ground

thermal heat escaping no doubt and over

there looks lifeless

olsen seems to take most interest in

what seems least interesting i think

he's quite a fascinating man and i think

he doesn't know half as much as you

think she does

neither do we

i still haven't decided whether he's a

man of method or madness

whatever a secret is he keeps it in that

metal box what i can't figure out is how

he caused that explosion that's been

puzzling me as well

we must keep a closer eye on him in the

future

what strange rocks look over here

professor a battalion of giant tortoises

what an incredible sight

fossils of the giant tortoise they must

have been here for centuries

amazing what a pity they're all dead

better they are it could be dangerous

what's that noise you know i've never

seen a dangerous turtle they must have

been man eating but they died of hunger

they were too slow to catch their prey

can you imagine what would happen if

they surrounded us to attack us cowardly

huh

it moved i swear

why

it seems to be alive

they're not fossils they are alive they

must send some natural

back to the others quickly come on

club come on

[Music]

get the order

give us

[Music]

the weather has changed completely the

wind is blowing harder than ever and the

whole atmosphere is saturated with

electricity

i feel that some catastrophe is

approaching

[Music]

[Music]

oh

uh

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Music]

okay

my dear child

are you all right

so

how is that

you'll soon see

how do you feel that

cleveland

where's cleveland

oh the first thing you think about is

each other you must be all right

where are we

yes

where are we

a rough calculation will put us

somewhere beneath the surface of the

mediterranean sea actually if any of our

instruments have survived intact we'll

soon know for sure so we better start

looking

what about olsen

yes i forgot all about him

have any of you seen him anywhere

nowhere but i found these

huh

look at this

ah smashed the mata uncle

look at this mess

raft horse masterpieces

my precious instruments broken

we don't even know where we are

it's enough to make any man despair

it's not your fault uncle otto

under the earth you have to expect the

unexpected

yes you're right my dear child as always

you're perfectly right nothing

nothing is going to prevent me making

this appointment with history

that's more like your old self uncolotta

look professor

olsen's book survived the storm

that's peculiar

it's an attic creek

all about time and space

never mind the book let's go look for

its owner well for heaven's sake don't

get lost

and be careful

[Music]

how strange there's nothing but bones

all around us

we've discovered a prehistoric cemetery

for animals apparently what's that

femur of some kind of primate i should

think

prehistoric graveyard or not

how do we know that some of these

animals might not have a few living

descendants around here

[Music]

look over there dinosaur's teeth

we must take samples back for uncle otto

it's a molar

with a cavity

global look

we're strange forest

everything we encounter now is strange

and the further on we go

the stranger

like a dream

yes

i think we've come far enough

i just knew you were going to say that

now look

we've come deeper and stayed longer than

anyone else in history we'd more than

paid our dues to science

axel

what do you want

i want to convince your uncle that we

should look for a way out of here but

why it's unlikely we'll come back you

see excite so i want to marry you that's

why

oh excellent the prehistoric boneyard's

no fit place to bring up babies

babies

chance

[Music]

[Music]

um

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

now

give me a hand

a quake

[Music]

over here

into the cave

[Music]

[Music]

back through here

where are we going just follow me

[Music]

what in the world is that

[Music]

certain concepts are not yet within the

range of human comprehension

i simply can't believe it

just a moment

now look you must make a promise not to

say a single word to your uncle about

what we've seen here because then he'd

never want to leave i promise i promise

all right

come along

[Music]

[Music]

dinosaurs i can't believe my eyes

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

come on

and thus we continued our adventure on

the subterranean sea

the professor does not wish to leave one

single stone unturned in his quest for

knowledge of this strange universe

however i've perceived a subtle change

in him from the moment he began to read

olsen's book awesome

yes sir this book of yours that was

washed ashore with us

it claims that time is relative not

absolute

the claim unfortunately is true i've

tested the theory myself somewhat to my

regret

and learned that under certain

circumstances one can indeed move

through time as easily as one can

through space

a year ago i might not have believed you

but after the mysteries and experiences

of this voyage even in your normal world

on the surface there are mysteries

you've never dreamed of

one thing still puzzles me

we're living in the year 98 are we not

indeed you are yet the publication of

this book is

1914. that's nearly 20 years ahead in

the future how do you account for that

by proof of the pudding professor

or could it be a misprint

i only know i give my soul to own a

device like that with all its secrets

it's the only one in existence my dear

london bro

and you've no idea of its capabilities

it could even transport one to the moon

professor

the sea has ended

[Applause]

what is it

look we can't go any further

let's go

looks like some sort of grotto keep a

we'll never find our way out of here

then we'll have to turn back come back

never try and secure it to that rock

hands

take the lamp

steady clothing

these rocks are very slippery

professor

look at this sagnusam once again showing

us the way forward

now

he was trying to force our way through

this wall of rock but suppose there's

nothing behind it

but another endless sea then it's our

duty to find out

we must get ahead as far as possible

it's useless

i'm not even making a dent in it and i'm

trying harder we must get ahead

be reasonable uncollotto the task's

impossible in the search for truth my

dear child for uncle auto nothing is

impossible now please stand back

oh my gosh

can't you stop it

what can i do

awesome only you can get us out of this

plight do something

if you wish

professor

professor

your dedication is admirable

but this is a task that i alone can

accomplish get back on the raft

what are you going to do

keep the route as far back as you can

from this point

this will only take a few moments

olson

what about you

i told you long ago

i found my own way in i'll find my own

way out again

[Music]

godspeed never forget

i'll remember you

olson

so

[Music]

i did something strange happening

hey

is

morning

professor

[Music]

[Music]

family

[Music]

come on

[Music]

and thus ended our fantastic voyage

hunts went back to iceland where his

flock now numbers more than 100 head

he is a respected man and is often

visited by his loving cousins

clobin and i have undertaken a new

adventure

but of matrimony

a woman cannot do without the support of

an experienced man

a man with foresight

[Music]

as for the professor

he continues to visit the old bookshop

with who knows what remote expectations

in mind morning

good day professor

somebody left this parcel for you

me

i mean who would do

strange name sounded like next or

something

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
