Regular 35 mm film runs 90 feet a minute with 24 frames per second (fps). Still with 24 fps a 70 mm print runs 112,5 feet per minute. This movie was shot in 65 mm with 30 fps, e.g. 140,625 feet per minute. With a running time of 183 minutes, the total length of a print must have been 25 734,375 feet (7 843,8375 m), not only 22 000 as claimed in this article. I will change accordingly. --Towpilot (talk) 04:58, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The balloon part.

This is from "A collision in the air", which is another Verne novel. I was surprised when I read AtWi80D. I think it works well to make the film great fun for the kids too.69.122.62.231 (talk) 20:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The most animals used?

I noticed the "citation needed" notation on the claim "The movie holds the record for the highest number of animals ever employed." IMDB's trivia page for this movie states that "The film utilized the talents of, at that time the most animals ever in any film," suggesting that the record has since been broken. Perhaps the claim in the article should be revised to say "at that time" until it can be verified that this movie still holds that record. Erality (talk) 23:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed for buffalo numbers

I added a "citation needed" to the claim that "Todd also used over 6000 buffalo for a stampede scene" because IMDB's trivia page states that "2,448 buffalo" were used.
