Animated period fantasy adventure series. Professor Lindenbrook leads an expidition to the Earth’s core; After being targetted by the evil Count Sacknussem the gang attempt to return to the surface.
The series appears to have taken the 1959 film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, as its starting point rather than Jules Verne’s original novel, e.g. including the character of Count Saknusssen and Gertrude the duck. However it moved even further away from Verne’s novel than the 1959 film.
