You can prefer Irwin Allen's FIVE WEEKS IN A BALLOON more or less the same kind of plot but on a bit better scale though. This one which I speak about is a British production with some US director and actors too, and made by a US movie maker; however the result is spoiled by the fact that the feature is only available in pan and f...scan. I guess the genuine LBX material is lost for good, such a shame. Besides this, the result is OK for the whole family, as were EAST OF SUDAN and SIEGE OF THE SAXONS, also from Nathan Juran the director. Full of charm forever lost, that's the main intetest for this movie.
