* GeniusBonus: On one level most of Zeman's work is kid-friendly fare, but it tends to go a lot deeper than that. For instance, ''Baron Munchausen'' could be described as a fantasy/adventure love story ... but the script is bursting at the seams with sophisticated wordplay, there are visual and narrative references to everything from Gustave Doré to Creator/JulesVerne to Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac, and the whole thing becomes a winkingly played debate about the dignity of the human imagination and the need for art and poetry in a science-obsessed world. Eat your heart out, Creator/TomStoppard.
* SpecialEffectsOfAwesome: Pretty much every shot in ''Journey to Primeval Times'', ''The Deadly Invention'', ''Baron Munchausen'', ''The Stolen Airship'', and ''On the Comet''.
