Has many steam punk elements (big steam driven robots). People seemed to hate it, but I liked it. The Wild, Wild West movie (Will Smith). Has many steam punk elements (big steam driven robots).

I like it a lot, and actually own it. I guess I was thinking live-action, primarily. Atlantis: The Lost Empire is another animated film that has some cool steampunky equipment in it.

I am a free man" (Iron Maiden Reference/ borrowed from "The Prisoner) Likes: Rivits on boot bottoms (for the clique when I walks and SPARKS when I drag em! Interesting smoking devices and cigarette tips, or loosly rolled Wildwood type 'gars. (even if never lit. Hey, there might be flamable items around here!) Wooden items with brass corners, finishing brads and a brass monogram. Telescopes on tripods Galileo Thermometer & Barometers Pressure gauges and releif valves Pocket watches & clocks with exposed mechanisms Gauntlet gloves with tight wrist seal Jacobs Ladder & Tesla Coils Dislikes: Snake oil salesmen Extended pinky when drinking ANYTHING. Alcohol, unless it is in my bunson burner. Anything that will be on this planet 1000 years after it was disposed of. Inferior steel (holding an edge or structural integrity) Too much reading without an occasional picture People that consistantly conflict with themselvs (non-smokers that smoke after a snifter of brandy) Corsetts: Come on. I really like the natural shape of a woman. This link makes me think how weird other cultures of children were/are raised and their surroundings! http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2009/03/nightmare-playgrounds-part-3.html He is #13

You're certainly right. I think I've seen trailers for Jasper Morello. Worth a second look. Thanks for the additions, Magic13. You’re certainly right.

And beautiful. And Lovecraftian. I would also like to add:

- Waistcoats
- The Victorian ideal that if you apply enough iron and steam and engineering know-how you can solve ANY problem
- Impeccable politeness, even when face-to-face with a nefarious foe
- Exploration of unknown frontiers
- Doughty manservants who are as adept at mixing a perfect Singapore Sling as they are engaging in fisticuffs with Thuggee cultists
- Pith helmets

Also as far as properly steampunk movies go, I’d recommend The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello – it’s an animation rather than a live-action movie, but it is so steampunk. And beautiful. And Lovecraftian.
