Just for the record, a fathom is equal to six feet so 20,000 fathoms is almost twenty-three miles.

The good news is that Warner Brothers' 50th Anniversary DVD edition has plenty to offer both Harryhausen fans and genre collectors. For starters, this old black-and-white catalogue item looks remarkably good.

It's hard to beat its finale that takes place at an amusement park.

I actually liked the two commemorative, fiftieth-anniversary documentaries better than the feature film. They're short but fascinating.
