Answer 4

Several of Verne"s novels have been adapted to the screen. Around the World in 80 Days is probably the best-known example, but this is NOT Science Fiction. Films have been done on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Master of The World. while in the sci-Fi genre, one can also include Journey to the Center of the Earth. The film version had some welcome humor and the unusual escape device of a large ceremonial- yes, Bath tub as a lifeboat for the explorers! Film also had two female characters which the Book did not. A cartoon series was based on Journey to the Center of the Earth. The cartoon did not kill off the duck, Gertrude, possibly to keep alive a good comic relief character- and also to avoid problems with the SPCA. There are possibly more films based on Verne. the adaptations did take some liberties- but generally improved the tales by adding love interests- also 5 Weeks in a Balloon!
