* SteamPunk: Pretty much ''Steampunk: The Animated Film''. And rather than adopt a more [[LighterAndSofter lighthearted approach]], the film sticks closely to steampunk's more [[DarkerAndEdgier grittier]] roots and implications. Even Morello's ostensibly cosy hometown, the metropolis of Gothia, is an endless cluster of stylised metallic buildings spreading steam and soot, with a complex system of overlapping rails and elevators for public transport. The city looks foreboding even before it is beset by a scary plague. The faraway lands studied by the expedition have mysterious and intimidating wildlife, and that part of the storyline feels like a deliberately dark and serious take on the "19th century adventurers exploring a jungle" theme. Jasper struggles with his guilt over causing the death of a fellow crew member and with his fears of not being able to save his wife from the plague. The animation style and backgrounds, while beautiful, have a very melancholy and ''slightly macabre'' atmosphere to them.
