How many words long is Romeo and Juliet?

It entirely depends on what edition of the play you are talking about. Not only does every edition have an introduction , all of which are different lengths, but they use different typefaces with different numbers of points, different page sizes and different margins. And finally, not every edition of the play is the same anyway. It was printed twice in Shakespeare's lifetime and once shortly afterwards, and the versions are not the same.

To give you an idea, the line "But soft! What light from yonder window breaks!" appears on page 19 of the 1597 Quarto version, on page 22 of the 1599 Quarto version, and on page 44 of the inexpensive Scholastic paperback version I have at hand.

Who played Captain Nemo in the 20000 Leagues Under the Sea Disney movie?

The book wasn't about what he did UNDER the sea at 20000 leagues because the Nautilus reaches about 10000 leagues under the sea and the pressure was too big that it decided to go back to the open sea. This book is about M.Aronnax's adventure around the sea, and he calculated that he traveled 20000 leagues of the sea all together. He called it "under the sea" because the Nautilus is a submarine so it's obvious that he stayed "under" the sea most of the time.
