Curiosidades
The gigantic blimp (airship) was a French dirigible called "The Hyperion". It was named in honor of 2719 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles, the site of Walt Disney's first studio. Hyperion is originally the Greek Titan of the sun.

Pifias
Despite Ivarsson's claim that the Vikings speak old Norse, they actually speak a mix of modern Scandinavian languages. Modern Icelandic would have been closer to the authentic tongue.

Fantasy, Fun, and Facts!

Largely forgotten amid the many other fantasy adventures from around this time, this one is a gem. A slow start, and the antiquated attitudes of the explorers are cringeworthy, but it gets going! Donald Sinden's aristocratic Englishman leads a search party for his missing son, they travel by airship towards the Arctic circle and discover a hidden land beyond the ice.

For me - this was one of the best depictions of Norse people I've ever seen in cinema. From the get - go, no horned helmets or fake snow, these people spoke old Norse throughout the movie, correct clothes and appearance, and their villages and buildings were beautiful. Great to see normal life for Norse people, and not raiding and pillaging! The special effects get a little ropey towards the end but we can forgive that, and the aforementioned Sinden is on top eye rolling ham form.

A great Sunday afternoon movie!
