About this product

Product Information

Part INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, part 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE marries mythology, cool futuristic underwater space crafts, and turn-of-the-century adventure for an animated treat. Thanks in part to cowriter Joss Whedon (creator of the edgy BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER series), the film is filled with relaxed wit and more grown-up, pseudo-supernatural perils than some recent Disney films, without being inappropriate for kids. This non-musical extravaganza pits Good against Evil, and pairs a nerdy young scientist-turned-explorer, Milo Thatch (Michael J. Fox), with an independent-minded blond bombshell of a princess, Kida (Cree Summer)--provided Kida's father, the distrusting king (Leonard Nimoy) approves. Milo, a museum curator relegated to menial jobs, is obsessed with the famed lost empire of Atlantis. His grandfather once told him about a mysterious Shepherd's Journal that could help him find the now-sunken kingdom and, with the help of eccentric millionaire Preston B. Whitmore (John Mahoney), Milo and several other funny, quirky crew members set out on a heart-pounding adventure. The crew includes Vinny, a demolitionist (Don Novello, better known as Father Guido Sarducci), Dr. Sweet, the gentle cook (Phil Morris, a.k.a. Kramer's lawyer on SEINFELD), and a paternal but brusque Captain Rourke (James Garner). The plot is intricate and suspenseful, and artist Mike Mignola (creator of the graphic comic book HELLBOY) offers up an intense but beautifully simple animated environment as stunning as Queen Amadala's planet in STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE. With monsters like the vicious Leviathan (a mechanical lobster that guards the gates to the city) adding thrills and chills, who could ask for more?

An Underrated Disney Classic
"Atlantis: The Lost Empire" is an underrated Disney classic that deserves so much more love and attention. The animation is gorgeous with beautiful visuals and a stunning color pallet. The soundtrack was composed by the amazing James Newton Howard. The characters are an absolute delight and they are truly the heart of the movie. Each person has a unique (and often hilarious) personality and background. "Atlantis" has some of Disney's most bad ass female characters and it's sad that people have "forgotten" these amazing women. One of the characters is a Princess, yet Disney doesn't count her in the Disney Princess franchise. Helga is one of my favorite Disney women of all time' she's so sexy and a total bad ass! The main character Milo Thatch (voiced by the amazing Michael J. Fox) is very charming and likable. The comedy is hilarious (and often rather adult) with some of my favorite jokes from a Disney movie. While the plot isn't really anything new and original (it's basically Disney's "Pocahontas" meets James Camron's "Avatar"), the characters and visuals are what makes the movie such an entertaining, funny, and beautiful masterpiece. I highly recommend it! Double thumbs up.
