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.

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 103 ⟶ 119: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Literature of the 19th century~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Journey to the Center of the Earth~~Literature]] ~~[[Category:Multiple Works Need Separate Pages]]~~ [[Category:French Literature]] [[Category:Literature of the 19th century]]
