 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
comment
In 2002, DIC Entertainment made their own adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.In addition to Pierre, Conseil, and Ned, this adaptation featured an exclusive character: Bernadette, Conseil's niece.One day, three teenage divers - Grace, Darren, and Jason - drop anchor near New York, searching for treasure. It isn't long after a shark encounter that they find some: an ornate, sealed chest.Inside the chest, the first article the trio examine is a sealed journal, over 130 years old, of the travels of one Bernadette Aronnax, from her arrival in New York to her rescue in Norway alongside titular characters Pierre, Conseil, and Ned. As Grace reads, the audience is taken through Bernadette's experiences and struggles traveling onboard the Nautilus, from battling monstrous sea creatures and escaping Atlantis to hiding her identity as a woman from Nemo.

Age Lift: Conseil is much older than Aronnax, edging in being a senior compared to his book counterpart who's 10 years younger than Pierre.

The Women Are Safe with Us
 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_2692393
comment
The Women Are Safe with Us: When they end up on the top of the Nautilus, Ned guesses that it's some kind of vessel and cuts Bernadette's hair because he fears that the owners of the vessel could be pirates, therefore she must hide the fact she's a woman. Later this is Played Straight with Nemo seeing through Bernadette's act and reassuring her that she'll be safe.

Mythology Gag
 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Bernadette's character and the way she initially pretends to be male so that she may accompany her uncle Conseil aboard USS Abraham Lincoln is very similar to Sophie from the 1997 Michael Anderson TV adaptation, who's Aronnax's daughter and ends up romancing Ned.

Uncertain Doom
 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_2854b56d
comment
Uncertain Doom: Averted. Nemo is never heard of and seen after the Nautilus is caught into the Maelstrom, but Bernadette and Aronnax end up receiving the giant pearl through a mail package. It strongly suggests that this incarnation of Nemo survived and presumably went on to experience events similar to those from The Mysterious Island.

Adaptational Heroism
 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Nemo is stern, but is more hospitable to his guests/prisoners compared to the book, and he's also nicer to the animals, not killing any sperm whales and strongly rejecting Ned's suggestion of hunting the sea elephants for their meat while in the South Pole.

Politically Correct History
 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Averted. Despite Ned Land's Race Lift, when Nemo expresses a small "The Reason You Suck" Speech about how the people on mainland are criminals, warmongers and slavers, Ned angrily asks him "What would YOU know about slavery?!" which implies that he probably had to endure a lot in order to become a respected harpooner and Nemo's comment hit too close home. Later when he rants about wanting to escape, he also says "I'm a free man now and I plan on staying that way!"

Memento MacGuffin: The giant pearl. While not powerful in any way, it is a prominent centerpiece in the salon after its recovery, and is rediscovered twice, by Bernadette and Darren, after the Nautilus goes under; Bernadette and Pierre received it from Nemo as a parting message, in the same chest the teenagers would find, and Darren lifts away the cloth with Nemo's insignia after the journal concludes with Bernadette dropping the chest into the sea, revealing the pearl to the others.
