▲First, an 1864 [[Jules Verne]] [[Science Fiction]] novel (the French original being titled ''Voyage au centre de la Terre'') about a German professor and his nephew, who travel down volcanic tubes in an extinct Icelandic volcano. They then discover prehistoric animals and all sorts of danger as they go down farther. Verne was inspired by Charles Lyell's ''Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man'' to write it, although the science has not aged very well compared to his other books (at least, science as Professor Lidenbrock describes it).
▲Then were the numerous adaptations, including the 1959 film starring Pat Boone, with added characters such as Gertrude the duck and Count Saknussem, notable in its day for the special effects. In 2008 a [[3D Movie]] starring Brendan Fraser was made, which spawned a [[Sequel]] and loose adaptation of [[The Mysterious Island]] which is, apparently, [[Atlantis]].
There was also an [[Animated Adaptation]] by [[Filmation]] in the late 60's, and let's not forget the [[Concept Album]] by Rick Wakeman.
The 1980s-vintage [[B-Movie]] ''[[Alien From L.A.]]'' tips its hat to the original book by giving its main character the last name "Saknussemm".

Line 89 ⟶ 105:
* [[Artifact Title]]: A mild case. The title would have made more sense if they had left off the "Journey 2" part, but there is ''technically'' a journey (just not to the center of the earth and it's not particularly long as they spend most of the movie trying to get ''off'' [[The Mysterious Island]]).
* [[Canon Welding]]: This movie makes least the settings of Journey To The Center of The Earth and The Mysterious both equally real in-universe.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Henry... er, I mean Hank. Actually, it's not made clear if Henry really is Hank's name, or if Hank isn't really a nickname, but all the same, Hank doesn't like being called Henry.
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Vanessa Hudgens]] wearing a tank top and short shorts for almost the entire movie. Also, did any male viewers who saw it in 3D regret paying extra in the scene where she crawls out of a collapsing tunnel with the camera [[Male Gaze|on her from behind]]? Thought not.
* [[Genre Blindness]]: Hank. Lampshaded at one point.
