![]() The evil Count Sacknussem, last descendant of the once noble Sacknussem family, had followed us. After many centuries, his trail was discovered: first by me, Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, my niece Cindy, student Alec McEwen, our guide Lars and his duck Gertrude. Long ago, a lone explorer named Arne Sacknussem made a fantastic descent to the fabled lost kingdom of Atlantis at the Earth's core. There are currently no plans to release the series on DVD and/or Blu-ray Disc from 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment, although most of the series is available for viewing on YouTube. However, it moved even further away from Verne's novel than the 1959 film did. It appears to have taken the 1959 film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, as its starting point rather than Jules Verne's original 1864 novel e.g., including the character of Count Sacknussem and Gertrude the duck. It was later shown in reruns on Sci Fi Channel's Cartoon Quest. It featured the voice of Ted Knight as Professor Lindenbrook/Sacknussem. ![]() Produced by Filmation in association with 20th Century Fox Television, it aired from September 9, 1967, to September 6, 1969, on ABC Saturday Morning. Journey to the Center of the Earth is an American science fiction Saturday-morning cartoon, consisting of 17 episodes, each running 30 minutes. ![]()
