To explain the oddly large quantity of equipment available, in the original script the submarine actually survived the fight with the guardian, albeit damaged. As they were unloading the equipment, a bunch of monsters attacked the crew. During the fight, one of the soldiers dropped a live grenade into a hatch in the submarine, setting off demolitions materials they had been unloading and destroying the submarine. The original script was like three times as long and included a *lot* of the expedition along the ancient highway with a bunch of different cool monsters to contend with. When they changed the script and cut it down to size, they removed the submarine surviving the fight with the guardian but left in all the equipment they had for the expedition.
for the equipment its possible that every sub that was used as a rescue boat had a full set of equipment (sicne again they are rescue boats seeing how the hatch to release them was opened by explosives, so makes sense every single one would have all necessary equipment on board to continue the expedition should something happen to the others). Its more baffling that every single named character (bar two, who were on the SINGLE surviving attack sub) all hopped on that single surviving sub
"I got your four basic food groups! Beans, bacon, whisky, and lard." Fun Fact: Kida (Cree Summer) is the first Disney Princess to become a Queen within her original film. Final Bow Fact: Jim Varney died just before finishing the film. Cookie's "I ain't so good at speechifying." line near the end is the only line not spoken by Varney. Steven Barr did the voice for that scene. Star Trek Fact: Marc Okrand, who created the Atlantean language, also created the Vulcan and Klingon (initially devised by James Doohan) languages for the "Star Trek" franchise. Coincidentally, Star Trek (1966) cast member Leonard Nimoy is in this movie as the King of Atlantis. Historical Fact: Lyle Rourke (James Garner) mentions that museums are full of stolen artifacts and that his own thefts were in service to archaeologists. This has been a real-life issue with art from several cultures being housed in museums and the efforts of the countries of origin to repatriate their art. For example, the collection of the Louvre museum in Paris includes items which Napoleon's armies looted from Egypt and Italy. France has repeatedly resisted the ownership claims of other countries to these artifacts. Legal Mindset Fact: Vincenzo Santorini (Don Novello) points that there is a difference between the crew's previous plundering operations and their current one in Atlantis. He specifically mentions that they robbed tombs, but they never set out to harm someone and never harmed their own acquaintances. He draws the line at having to exterminate a city's population and abandoning a co-worker to his fate. He seems to be pointing at a difference between property crimes and crimes against the person, a distinction which has long existed in the common law system.
5:01 fun fact the fish in the tank were thought to be extinct until 1938, 24 years after this movie takes place. So Mr Whitmore is definitely a very interesting guy. This movie and lilo and stitch are my top two Disney films I can watch over and over again.
Great reaction! Btw, both ways he was wearing the holster were correct, first time was set up for cross draw, that's why it's on his left side. Before and during WW1 many nations still had officers wear the holsters on the left because that's the side a sword would be holstered on, so they just kept it the same after pistols started replacing swords. Of course a pistol doesn't need to be cross drawn like a sword and in the field many preferred wearing it on the right, hence why he has it on the left wearing his full uniform and in a more "formal" interaction and switches it later after ditching his jacket, actually pretty good attention to detail for a kids movie and I never noticed it till now... so thank you XD
Titan A.E. should now be required if you enjoyed Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Round off the 3 major films done in this animation style.
interesting factoid: the final panning shot for the time was one of the most complicated and hardest things to animate for a Disney movie because of all the layers and bits
People nod along when I say Lion King and Beauty & The Beast are in my top 3 Disney movies but I usually get quizzical looks when I say Atlantis rounds out the trio. I don't care. It's a really unique film that reminds me of other adventure stories I love like Indiana Jones and Tintin. Art design is nice (Hellboy creator Mike Mignola was a production designer and his unique art style is definitely present) the score is phenomenal, and the action is great.
I grew up watching Star Trek & loving the movie Stargate (which this was based off of). I saw Atlantis in theatres & it became one of my top 2 favorite Disney movies to this day. Something about the humor, mythology, & adventure just struck a chord with 9 year old me & I love getting to see other people experience what an adventure this movie is. ❤
I like this movie a lot but I definitely had a few issues regarding the language, the Iceland Ireland thing, and them not being able to read. There may be an explanation for a lot of that stuff, but the movie wasn’t too forthcoming with it. Still love this movie though.
Awesome reaction to this movie dude. This is one of my favorite and it’s cool seeing you enjoy it. Wondering if you ever seen Sinbad legend of the seven seas. Made by fox and staring Brad Pitt I think.
Oh, it VERY much flopped in the box office. Rather poor marketing while Disney (and other companies) were taking notice to how much more success film companies like Dreamworks and Pixar were having with CGI films like Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, and Shrek (with the only hand-drawn successes for film being foreign work such as Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away). This film honestly did so bad in the box office that Disney cancelled the TV show planned for the film and made what was completed into the direct-to-dvd sequel "Atlantis 2: Milo's Return" so they could make up for the money lost in the box office. The film honestly didn't start getting its following until 2006 when Disney (the last major US animation company to make hand-drawn films) declared it would stop making hand-drawn films (at least, at the time). That was when people actually started paying attention to what was looked over at a time (like Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Iron Giant, El Dorado, etc.) when CGI films were dominating the market without any strong competition from other animated media.
@@nickthedreamer4434 Get this, Atlantis was originally going to be over TWO HOURS LONG. So the film had to be reduced to one hour. This explains why this film got bad reviews because it feels like something is missing.

Atlantis has one of the highest body counts in Disney history.

Kida takes off her skirt to show the swimsuit. Jason: "I LIKE this movie!" -Super big grin-

MY FAVORITE DISNEY MOVIE!!!!!! SO FREAKING UNDERRATED!!!!!!! AMAZING SCORE!!!!!!!! MICHEAL J FOX, LEONARD NIMOY!!!!!!!
The king is blind because at the beginning he knew that would be the last time he saw his wife and the bright light burned them
As a kid, I figured out Rourke and Helga were bad guys.
The real twist was finding out that Milo was the ONLY good guy!

“Unfunny comic relief”
Immediately laughs at that same character.
34:55 as long as he has the crystal on him and the crystal above Atlantis remains then he could live forever unless he falls ill or is shot
Grew up watching it and love it
one thing you can say about mole's story, how weird would you be if you were raised by naked mole rats
You sayd the magic quote! You hate the ocean's, that means you have to play Subnautica!
I like this movie a lot but I definitely had a few issues regarding the language, the Iceland Ireland thing, and them not being able to read. There may be an explanation for a lot of that stuff, but the movie wasn’t too forthcoming with it.
Still love this movie though.
And next up the sinbad animated movie
Cats Don't Dance please
Awesome reaction to this movie dude. This is one of my favorite and it’s cool seeing you enjoy it. Wondering if you ever seen Sinbad legend of the seven seas. Made by fox and staring Brad Pitt I think.
A lot of this movie was similar to Stargate.
You hate big things in and have fear of the ocean, you should play Subnautica lol
I don't think Atlantis flopped, it has a pretty big following
It flopped financially. That is what everyone means when they say a movie flops. It isn't about how many people love or hate it. It's about the money.
