"The Island at the Top of the World" is an adventure film from Disney which seems imspired by the stories of Jules Verne. It's mildly enjoyable...a decent time-passer.
The film stars David Hartmann, a man who seems totally unlike a movie star and who is best known for hosting TV's "Today" show for many years. It also stars Donald Sinden who spends most of the movie yelling and barking orders.
Sir Anthony (Sinden) has a son who disappeared in the Arctic some time ago. He's now mounting an expedition to locate the man and he plans on using the latest technology circa 1900...a blimp. The plan is to use it to search a much wider area than you'd get searching from the ground. Amazingly enough, their search take them to an odd green oasis...peopled by ancient-acting Norsemen and women.
There is nothing terribly good or bad about this one. While the characters are a bit flat, the special effects make up for it and the overall film is watchable and mildly interesting. Nothing more to say about this one.
