The Stolen Airship (Czech: Ukradená vzducholoď; Italian: I ragazzi del capitano Nemo) is a 1966 live-action/animated film by Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman.[2] The story is based loosely on Jules Verne's novels Two Years' Vacation and The Mysterious Island. The film in Art Nouveau style consists of live-action scenes, generally shot in black and white, as well as hand-drawn, stop motion, and cutout animation. Various live-action and animated elements are often composited into the same scene.
