Facts about

During his 'Whale of a Tale' tune, two of the girls Ned sings about are named 'Mermaid Minnie' and 'Typhoon Tessie'. Minnie and Tessie were the two girls on his arms at the beginning of the film - you can hear him shout their names at one point during the street brawl.
The whole movie, except for the scenes where Ned Land and Conseil go ashore at New Guinea and meet the cannibals, and most of the underwater scenes with the divers, were filmed at the Disney Studio.
In 1969, Captain Nemo's pipe organ, which had been on display in Disneyland, was redressed and now resides in the ballroom of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. A duplicate was constructed for the ballroom of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion, which opened in 1971, and over a decade later another duplicate was built for Tokyo Disneyland.
