Hi Mike, I found the history of the USS Redfish on Ebay, of all places. There was a guy selling a part from the sub, and listed the history of the ship in his...
Hi Cory... Maybe someone has more up to date info, but about 9 years ago, I called Disney Channel and asked them to run OPERATION UNDERSEA on VAULT DISNEY....
Wow! Thanks for the tantalizing background, behind-the-scenes info on the making of the DVD! I suppose in the controversy over the Walt Disney/Jules Verne ...
Believe me, we had the film. We could have had much longer takes there... there were some amazingly 180 degree pans across the Nautilus sets, and beautiful...
