Captain and research ship prototype

The appearance and overall equipment of the scientific research ship in the film refer to the Calypso.

On the original basis, the submarine was enlarged and made a dreamlike transformation.

The captain's shape refers to the original captain Cousteau, taking into account the words of the round Little Red Riding Hood.

And this Jacques Cousteau has also personally acted as a film producer, introducing his adventure experience. "The Tranquility of the Deep Sea" won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and in 1964, "A World Without Sunshine" won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

The picture comes from "Illustrating Famous Vehicles from the Seabed to Space"
