Island at the Top of the World ( 1975 ) was another fun Disney adventure film of the 1970s....not quite in league with such classics as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but it had a nice steampunk style to it anyway. This dirigible was designed by Peter Ellenshaw ( the famous matte artist ) and art director John B. Mansbridge, two men who often worked on Disney productions.

Love this movie! Grew up with it, and it is a lot of fun. Like you say, not quite in the 20,000 Leagues category, but still fun. Love the scenery and the Vikings, and I have always adored that dirigble. It is a thing of beauty!
