Hi again all,

This is probably a weird topic, but it's been on my mind again, doubtless on account of my preparations to don the EnchantedTikiGoth persona at the club tonight, complete with purple lei and eyeliner maori designs. I thought I might have better luck with it here than on other forums.

I was just wondering what films you guys might know about where Tiki-type stuff and Steampunk/Victorian Sci-Fi/Jules Verne-type stuff cross swords. I only know of three, all of which are Disney: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (the cannibal incident), Swiss Family Robinson (bamboo-tech), and In Search of the Castaways (in which they're cast away on New Zealand).

Of course, combining Tiki and Steampunk is always a bit of a stretch, since they recall two entirely separate eras, but there was an Atomic Age Sci-Fi resurgence in Victorian adaptations... But I digress.

Anyways, I exhausted the Steampunk side regarding this question, so I figured that if anyone is going to know, it's gotta' be the Tiki side.

Thanks!
Cory
