In 1954, LIFE sent reporters to the Bahamas to cover the filming of Walt Disney's first live-action picture, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The movie would go on to win the Oscar for best special effects. Many of the photos in this gallery never ran in the magazine and have never been seen before now.
