The film is loosely based on Jules Verne’s 1874 novel, L'Île mystérieuse ( The Mysterious Island ). However, it functions as a "meta-sequel" by suggesting that Verne’s works were not fiction, but actual historical accounts.

: The film employs a "size reversal" trope—large animals (like bees) become small, while small animals (like elephants) become giant. This is explained in-universe as a biological adaptation to the island's unique ecosystem. 3. Production and Technical Innovation

: A central theme is the development of the stepfather-stepson bond through shared peril, a staple of modern family adventure cinema.

: The plot synthesizes three classic adventure novels: Verne’s The Mysterious Island and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea , and Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels .
