Totally agree. The arty style, the story, the characters were just so appealing to me as a kid. And now as an adult looking back at these movies I appreciate them even more.
@@genevieveowusu885 It's a lot of the Don Bluth touch. He left his mark on that studio. I love the computer rendered animation but the cell animation should never stop.
Actually I see a lot of similarities between them. They are compatible. Similarities as in they are both curious about each other's worlds. They want to learn.
Same, in all Disney characters all the guys are either big or strong, handsome, or good-looking or some are even Prince. I like guys that are like Milo that isn't big or strong, but using their heads to solve puzzle and to help the people in need. While Kida is different from a adverage Disney Princess she isn't a Damsel in Distress, she a fierce Warrior with a gentle heart to help her people in need. To bad Disney doesn't make more characters that are similar to Milo and Kida.
Sadly, the reason this film didn't do well was that it was the first and only Disney animated film without musical numbers, essentially causing kids to lose interest in what is a very well done film.
Man, I was a kid and I loved it. Musical numbers in most disney films were some cringe you had to endure, some of them were catchy. I think what you mean is the lack of musical numbers caused parents to lose interest. They're the ones who pay for the tickets you know.
I think it deliberately has been *said* to have done mediocrily in order to not oversell one of the most important childrens movies ever made. This is the story of the origin/survival of higher knowledge on this planet afterall. You don't want to destroy a movie like that by getting a minor detail like music wrong by accidentally making the music sound too modern or primitive. At the end of the day, this movie is based on the same catastrophe that killed off ALL megafauna of the northern hemisphere. NOT including a soundtrack emphasises the reality of this story, - compared to the more mythical tone of their talking-animal and mythical-beast themed movies.
Actually no, black cauldron was the first animated Disney film without any songs. The film did poorly more because of tone, story, and marketing problems.
It’s definitely not the first Disney animated movie without musical numbers. Even some that came before that technically had musical numbers could be considered song-lite or primarily relying on musical score. But yes black cauldron came first
I really appreciate how despite being a huge nerd, Milo doesn't have the stereotypical nervousness or awkwardness around women. (No more than his awkwardness around people in general.) He interacts with Audrey, Helga, etc. normally, he interacts with Kida normally. He only has a couple moments where he's awkward with her, like when he realizes how old she is, or when she takes off her skirt to get in the water, and those are both understandable.
I like to see loved ones with my glasses. They’re super important and fragile thou so I’d never let someone I didn’t trust put them on in for a few seconds
I swear Milo Thatch is like the Peter Parker of Disney. He's nerdy, smart, somewhat sarcastic, and courageous. Only thing is missing is the 🕷powers of course. But still Its totally the same characteristics
Disney gets zero damn credit for the creation, the building, and making of Peter Parker and who he is. Disney hasn’t even been part of a good run of Spider-Man since they bought Marvel and have been actively destroying him as well as countless other characters for basically no reason.
Yeah too bad the movie didn't do well. Kida could have been a Disney Princess. She definitely deserves it. I think she would get along pretty well with Elsa, Merida, Mulan, Raya, Moana, Elena........I can think of a few others as well but you get the idea😄
I'm almost certain Milo's design, personality, and especially his movements were modeled after James Spader as Daniel Jackson in the Stargate movie. Especially with his love interest being the 'princess' (sorta) of the ancient land he goes to
A little tidbit, the animators and production staff thoroughly and I mean thoroughly studied Mike Mignola's (HellBoy's creator) art style to get this look.
@@TheCycloneable Oh he was. He was brought in later as a consultant to his style. He managed to iron out some things they were having trouble with and need his input. Which kinda shocked him because their research revealed to him things he didn't realize he did as an artist.
On a more serious note I feel like given her psychology (a woman who has lived so much, wise, self assured) she was into intellectual guys. It's not so much the physique but Milo's personality what attracts her.
@@newtfigton8795 Flip that. Non-muscular men just don't have that particular thing going for them. But there are a billion other things that can make you attractive (and no, I'm not talking about money). First, being a kind person (as a baseline, not as your whole personality). And then, playing an instrument, art, being good with kids, being funny, having a dog, speaking well, dressing well, dancing well, being handy with tools, having a hobby, being open-minded to experiences, even watching how you walk...ANY of these can make you instantly more attractive. Or, if you REALLY think you need muscles...get one of those 30-minute body workout apps, some protein bars, and a jump rope from Academy and get to work.
@@CreepyBlackDude 100% People be like "I can't get girls because I don't have X surface level features" People are attracted to surface level stuff, not denying that, but if you want em to stay with you for more than one night ya gotta have SUBSTANCE And besides, all of takes to get a pretty face and a good body is to literally just *be healthy* lmao
I love this movie but I REALLY wish it had more Kida and Milo scenes! They're so cute together and it's a real shame this is already basically half of their shared screentime.
@@joshuakuehn Relax. It's an account of a character in Plato's book who was relating the words of a fictional version of Solon. The entire account of Atlantis was a thought experiment by Plato to discuss the virtues of a spartan lifestyle and the dangers of excess. It was never even connected to reality, and like any myth, the details can be as fluid as the writer wants. The story itself references Athens many millennia before Athens was even a thing. If I wanted to tell a story about King Arthur, I could place it in any point between 300 AD and 1500 AD and no-one would bat an eye, and If I wanted to tell a story about Set, I would have a multi-thousand year period that I could set him in without setting off alarms. If it's a little inconsistent with the written account, it's fine. No harm done.
I remember this movie, I remember that scene where everyone was telling their life story around t he campfire, when Milo asked about Mole, and the Doc was like "You don't want to know", and my immediate answer as kid was "Oh, he was raised by moles." My brother looked to me, like 3 years older than me and asked "how do you know that?", and I just gestured to the screen. "Isn't it obvious?"
I like the idea that it was a hint at Tunneling work in the Great War. Most of the expedition guys have kind of a dark backstory, like Sweet getting drafted as a miltary doctor and Vinny "accidentally" blowing up his parent's flower shop. You have to read between the lines a bit because they kept it kids friendly.
@@Sunygamer05 Good point, that doesn't work. Actually I just remembered something: during Milo's talk with Mr. Whitmore he briefly shows the crew's profiles and you can make some things out. Gaetan Moliere, born in Paris, went to a catholic school ... something about exploring the sewer network and catacombs below paris ... built his special goggles at age 13 ... and the big excavation vehicle of the expedition seems to be his invention too.
@@busTedOaS You can actually listen to his background info in a youtube video titled "Atlantis - Mole's Backstory" (I think). It says the things you said but with more detail.
Apparently disney purposely didn't advertise treasure planet much so they can use its failings as an excuse to move to 3d animations more. Such a shame. If it was released nowadays it would probably sell well
Actually, even though Disney does record the actors when they're doing their lines at the recording booth, most of the animation and expressions are created by the animators, only using the video recording when they think they need it (example: the Genie transforming into Pinocchio for a second in Aladdin). Even more: I believe an animator once said that the reason they record video of their actors is because they get better line readings of the actors think they are physically acting for a public (when they come from cinema and/or theatre).
@@TheJFGB93 so, I'm in school for animation. The recordings are for reference, then you animate while referring to the different frames of the reference video. People don't naturally squash and stretch and exaggerate like animations do, so it can be hard to find good references without just making them yourself. Edit: also, doing the motions yourself can make it easier to get the "feel" of the motion into your animation. If your muscles hurt doing a motion, then it'll likely read as unnatural and painful in an animation. If you can feel the stretch of a motion, you know to stretch your character into the motion. If your back hurts when you straighten up, then your character's back will also, likely, hurt lol. It gives you more dynamic and lifelike motion and feeling.
@@transsnack Ah, I forget that animators now have access to cameras to record themselves to help them with some of the animation. My mind still thinks of people with mirrors for that part. You may be talking about that. I would believe that the voice actors' video recordings are of limited use because of the limited range of motion in the booth and because they're mostly looking at the script.
Voice acting has lots of expression in order to sound well, something that we hear in an animated movie or cartoon is usually overreacted during recording This being said, the way these lines are delivered usually come in gestures the voice actors do in order to get more of the feel for the way they say, which serve as amazing reference for what to animate for a characters dialogue
I know modern office employees in animation jobs slave away like they're in the coal mine. It must have been some emotional high and low and battle to draw 5 frames of animation.
They just say that the most age gap between a disney couple is Rapunzel and Eugene. A WHOLE LIE. Kida and Milo has at least 8468 years between each other. (Milo's 32) Edit:Woooww I never thought this bullshit will get too many likes! Thank you all!

In one of the tie in books made about the movie it mentions that the Atlantean children are over 1,000 years old themselves. The entire aging process is slowed down.
What? The book explain what is the blue orb that the atlantean have? Ever time i see this movie i just have a bunch of question about this thing...seems alive. Is related of of the olimpeans? I mean they are from the universe right.
@@emperortime2356 Evidently not. If anything their loss of technology seems to indicate that if they don't use skills or knowledge enough they'll eventually forget about it. I take that to mean that while they have extended life spans, the brains capacity for memory has not improved.
@@cellulanus its also possible that the majority of the survivors were not scholars who would be able to read and preserve knowledge, but warriors, royals, and guards. Not all of the city survived, only the area surrounding the palace. There's probably plenty that was lost simply because nobody who had the knowledge survived.
Yeah, along with Kida wearing Milo's glasses upside down where her eyes became so comically big & silly, along with a few others. 🤣🤣🤣 They're reminding us that this is still Disney in the end.
He speaks very naturally. He pauses, stutters and stumbles his way through words. A lot of characters in cinema speak perfectly, so they don't feel human.
She's a bad girl. Putting him in a hold and telling him he's not gonna leave their city until he answers her questions. In a serious but also playful way. Surprisingly, that IS attractive.
One scene. One scene was all it took to make me immediately want to go watch this movie again. Miss this sort of animated movie. They don't make them like this anymore.
Disney’s idea of a remake is “Hey, I bet if we just made it live action but don’t care about making the storie good at all, people will still come to see it right? I mean all people really want is to see characters in live action!”
It's funny and shocking that Milo had questions for Kida and isn't leaving Atlantis until they're answered, then she sneaks up behind Milo and covers his mouth and says the same thing
Yeah, I was surprised as well. Maybe the crystal gave Kida enhanced hearing or Milo wasn't aware any kind of whisper is completely audible in Altantis. IDK, just a theory of mine. 🤔🤔
Atlantis, Sinbad, Treasure Planet, Prince of Egypt, The Pagemaster, Ferngully, Antz, The Road to El Dorado - I could go on. UNDERRATED but such amazing movies!
I think this would have been extra amazing if this was a series. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. It's just this one had sooooooooo much story to tell. It's interesting lore was thiccc and 1 hour and 30 minutes of time is so not enough. I've noticed it several times in the movie, where the pacing seemed rush as if to achieve a deadline. It's because of the time constraint of a fil not enough for the scale it was. There's so much story to tell. The first few minutes of the film was already so interesting by itself. If this was a series, they could do a series of flashback that showed Atlantis in its prime, and then they slowly reveal the events that lead to the cataclysmic event that eventually ended Atlantis. Even the exploration towards Atlantis could been expanded too. It's not just the lore, it's chuck full of unique and interesting characters as well. Kida and Milo's interaction in the movie was one of my favorite part. I could immediately feel the connection, chemistry, and compatibility. Kida is such an amazing female character. From the first time she was introduced, I've always felt safe and interested with her. Why? Because she's so kind and friendly and yet at the same time she can be so fearless and fierce. That scene in the waters was cool. She immediately got to work and beat up almost every mercenary there. She's a princess but she was also a warrior. What I even like about her was that she was never condescending to the outsiders, to Milo. She was so genuinely interested to share her culture with them and also learn their culture. TL;DR: This amazing movie deserved a longer run time.
I wish we could've seen these characters in Kingdom Hearts or Once Upon A Time. Since they brought in actors from Lost for the latter, I bet Michelle Rodriguez would've made a great Audrey Ramirez.
John Krasinski as Milo, Zoey Saldana as Kida, Josh Brolin as Commander Rourke, Scarlet Johansson as Helga, Charlie Day as The Mole, John Turturro as Vinny, Mike Colter as Dr. Joshua, Mark Hamill as Cookie, Bryan Cranston as King Nedakh. That's my fantasy casting if they ever did a live action take on this film.
This and treasure planet are some of my favorite Disney movies. I’d be lying if I said that they weren’t flawed, but they’re still great. And, though personality, the side characters in this are great and the main characters of treasure planet are great. Decent little switch up
Yeah and when kida said my father said the heart of Atlantis called her mother to it and never saw her again its really heartwarming and sad at the same time and Cree summer sounded so calm when she said it
I remember when i was a kid we went to see this in theaters... god such a classic! I had all the toys and even had that electronic Shepard's journal from KB Toys
Instead of making crappy live action flicks Disney should bring Atlantis and Treasure Planets to life, the only two movies who would do great as live actions.
This movie and treasure planet were my favorites, and super underrated

What? The book explain what is the blue orb that the atlantean have? Ever time i see this movie i just have a bunch of question about this thing...seems alive. Is related of of the olimpeans? I mean they are from the universe right.
Wtf thats insane. They must be genius in teenage age if they live so long.
@@emperortime2356 Evidently not. If anything their loss of technology seems to indicate that if they don't use skills or knowledge enough they'll eventually forget about it. I take that to mean that while they have extended life spans, the brains capacity for memory has not improved.
@@cellulanus its also possible that the majority of the survivors were not scholars who would be able to read and preserve knowledge, but warriors, royals, and guards. Not all of the city survived, only the area surrounding the palace. There's probably plenty that was lost simply because nobody who had the knowledge survived.
When Milo found out how long Kida was alive for, I'd be just as surprised; she looks to be in her early 20's.
Actually I looked up and it says somebody who's 8800 years old in atlantis equals to someone in her early 20s
@@dionisosundiyetkolasimakes you wonder how old Kashekim was?
0:44 I love this part when Kida tries on Milo's glasses
"MINIONS!" It is time to steal the moon!
0:24 I absolutely love how they stretched milos face when they did the wipe for the next scene such a funny attention to detail xD
Yeah, along with Kida wearing Milo's glasses upside down where her eyes became so comically big & silly, along with a few others. 🤣🤣🤣 They're reminding us that this is still Disney in the end.
i love the writing for Milo but I can't really tell why
@airlockengage In other words, Milo feels like a real person due to how he acts and everything.
He speaks very naturally. He pauses, stutters and stumbles his way through words. A lot of characters in cinema speak perfectly, so they don't feel human.
he reminds me of the trendy saying, "a man written by a woman"
Anyone else miss when the style and quality of animation was an important factor in Animated movies and shows?
It’s called having different style but now calarts, fat people style is pushed.
I like he was just about to talk and sympathize about his dead family and then he’s like “…wait you’re how old? Oh, looking good.”
Disney's 2D animation and character design were so beautiful back then
Milo and Kida are such a criminally underrated couple in an equally criminally underrated film
0:45 Can we take a moment to appreciate Kida wearing Milo’s glasses
Upside down no less
It's so cute and funny.
0:16 Good lord, I didn't know how attractive that was until this moment.
Oh my God, she can take me anywhere she so desires
Disney be creating fetishes
@@goldenhospitality8521 She look like she bout to reach somewhere else with her other hand 😏
She's a bad girl. Putting him in a hold and telling him he's not gonna leave their city until he answers her questions. In a serious but also playful way. Surprisingly, that IS attractive.
Damn Cree Summer has such a great voice.
Yes! She has a unique voice that has been in many cartoon movies and shows. I hadn’t actually seen her in anything since “A Different World”.
The voice of my childhood
She was also Numbah 5 from Codename: Kids Next Door which was my show when I was 6
@@nevaehlheaven numbuh 5 brody. Numbuh 3 was the Japanese girl.
Can’t forget her as Susie Carmichael in the Rugrats.
Kida is such an underrated princess.
1:47 Pause and look at Milo's Face :D
Meme material right there
Mibsu Funniest WTF-face ever!
Mibsu Funniest “WTF-face” ever!
That's the face I gave my current gf when she first confessed having feels for me
Even better. Pause at Milo's face at 0:24
Kida was totally my first Disney crush.
Not 100 years old, more like 10000 years xD
ah i thought he was stuttering XD like 88-100
So he finds eternal life, and nothing registers... what kind of scholar is he, again?
the scholar who got laid.... XD
Tom Evans ...Indiana Jones type?
@@Marguns21 he was saying 8800 years old
Damn, Milo is so attractive for no reason 😳
FACTS
Naw that gurl is
Brave and smart ;) gotta love the nerdy ones!
This movie is soooo underrated
Dam Kida looking fine for 8800 years old
"diminished physique" "large Forehead" I feel attacked
Milo finding out Kida is 100yr old and punctuates the answer with an awkward laugh and "L-looking good" is everything
Make that 8,600-8,800 years old. Hell of an age gap.
One scene. One scene was all it took to make me immediately want to go watch this movie again.
Miss this sort of animated movie. They don't make them like this anymore.
danm this was so good, I kind of want a remake but I dont trust Disney to mess it up
no. no remakes. fuck remakes
Disney’s idea of a remake is “Hey, I bet if we just made it live action but don’t care about making the storie good at all, people will still come to see it right? I mean all people really want is to see characters in live action!”
He introduced me to the forbidden world
Oh my goshh. I miss Disney's 2D animation!!! I want it backkkkk
It's funny and shocking that Milo had questions for Kida and isn't leaving Atlantis until they're answered, then she sneaks up behind Milo and covers his mouth and says the same thing
Yeah, I was surprised as well. Maybe the crystal gave Kida enhanced hearing or Milo wasn't aware any kind of whisper is completely audible in Altantis. IDK, just a theory of mine. 🤔🤔
Atlantis, Sinbad, Treasure Planet, Prince of Egypt, The Pagemaster, Ferngully, Antz, The Road to El Dorado - I could go on. UNDERRATED but such amazing movies!
We lived the same childhood I swear 😂
And this is why I'd always love theo older animations. They actually tried to make it look amazing.
I think this would have been extra amazing if this was a series. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. It's just this one had sooooooooo much story to tell. It's interesting lore was thiccc and 1 hour and 30 minutes of time is so not enough. I've noticed it several times in the movie, where the pacing seemed rush as if to achieve a deadline. It's because of the time constraint of a fil not enough for the scale it was.
There's so much story to tell. The first few minutes of the film was already so interesting by itself. If this was a series, they could do a series of flashback that showed Atlantis in its prime, and then they slowly reveal the events that lead to the cataclysmic event that eventually ended Atlantis. Even the exploration towards Atlantis could been expanded too.
It's not just the lore, it's chuck full of unique and interesting characters as well. Kida and Milo's interaction in the movie was one of my favorite part. I could immediately feel the connection, chemistry, and compatibility. Kida is such an amazing female character. From the first time she was introduced, I've always felt safe and interested with her. Why? Because she's so kind and friendly and yet at the same time she can be so fearless and fierce. That scene in the waters was cool. She immediately got to work and beat up almost every mercenary there. She's a princess but she was also a warrior. What I even like about her was that she was never condescending to the outsiders, to Milo. She was so genuinely interested to share her culture with them and also learn their culture.
TL;DR: This amazing movie deserved a longer run time.
0:35 I felt that on a personal level
1:46
He's into overages women
I wish we could've seen these characters in Kingdom Hearts or Once Upon A Time. Since they brought in actors from Lost for the latter, I bet Michelle Rodriguez would've made a great Audrey Ramirez.
John Krasinski as Milo, Zoey Saldana as Kida, Josh Brolin as Commander Rourke, Scarlet Johansson as Helga, Charlie Day as The Mole, John Turturro as Vinny, Mike Colter as Dr. Joshua, Mark Hamill as Cookie, Bryan Cranston as King Nedakh.
That's my fantasy casting if they ever did a live action take on this film.
@@DeadmanInc336 The Mole would have to be Danny Devito everyone else doesnt work
@@marcusevonblade2804 Your opinion..😏
Kida can get it anytime
And by It, i mean a nice civil intellectual discussion
Uh-huh. Nice recovery. lol
The level of character and mannerisms in these animations was just incredible. To bad they're just relics of a bygone era now..
Bro, I loved this movie. I hated musicals as a kid and kissing scenes so this was the best movie AND it had action. 10/10
Look at Kida’s child bearing hips. I swear this movie awakened something in me when I watched it as a child.
Oh yes, now that I think about it; Kida is actually a Disney Princess.
Even though the place had sunk, it still looks like a paradise.
Just like Animes, 2D is GOLD.
I miss old school Animes and Cartoons.
This was peak animation for America. Now we have Calarts like Steven Universe.
The best scene in the movie
This and treasure planet are some of my favorite Disney movies. I’d be lying if I said that they weren’t flawed, but they’re still great. And, though personality, the side characters in this are great and the main characters of treasure planet are great. Decent little switch up
Milo and Kida are a perfect and happy couple.
Super underrated movie
1:46 how is this not a meme? The genuine confusion in his face is priceless!
When you first meet up and it turns out she used Filters on every pic
Why is milo so smooth and shit I always thought he'd be a nerd but he's like hot and confident what
This was one of my favorite Disney movies to watch growing up. To this day, I'll curl up with popcorn and a blanket, & watch it.
❤
Yeah and when kida said my father said the heart of Atlantis called her mother to it and never saw her again its really heartwarming and sad at the same time and Cree summer sounded so calm when she said it
Just realizing that the walking motions of this animation are very fluid and believable. An outstanding job by the animators.
Kida and Milo were my first Bi panic
I loved the character designs of this movie
Love this movie's animation, and the voice actors. Sad to not see it's quality continued.
I never realised Michael fox did the voice for milo until now lol
Her: come with me
Me: ah yes, the direct approach
Back when Disney had somewhat of a soul
“When did the floodwaters recede?” Reference to the Bible 😃
Didn't he cite the various flood mythologies around the world when working on his "sales pitch" at the beginning of the movie?
@@Br3ttM Each mythology is a retelling of the real flood.
0:08 love the underbite every time I watch this movie.
1:47 he finds out she’s a few thousand of years old
Instantly flirts 😂
To be fair, she's damn fine
Milo- Thank God she's legal!
Movies like this really bring back childhood memories. Good old days, I miss them :(.
0:15 Love how Milo just accepts his fate 😂
The animation in this movie was insane!!
My absolute favorite Disney film! 💎
Kida is best girl. My favorite Disney Princess (she technically isn’t a Disney princess since to qualify it has to be a musical apparently).
Merida is classified as a Disney princess I think. That’s not a musical. Kida isn’t a Disney princess because the movie flopped. 😞
dammit, this cut away right before the shot i was looking for 😭
Disney will never be this risky again. Let that sink in
Kida is my childhood crush, I think she still is lol
1:47 That is THE funniest WTF-face ever!
Like if you agree
The first time I saw Kida I had a HUUUUGEEE... crush on her...
What were you thinking, you pervs!
There isn’t a whole lot but r34 of her does exist and there are a handful of cosplayers
I remember when i was a kid we went to see this in theaters... god such a classic! I had all the toys and even had that electronic Shepard's journal from KB Toys
Instead of making crappy live action flicks Disney should bring Atlantis and Treasure Planets to life, the only two movies who would do great as live actions.
His mother was her kind as well . That’s why milo can read atlantian
1:46
That face! 🤣🤣🤣
Damn, I have to watch this movie again, its been years...
THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND FOR SO LONG AND COULD NOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE MOVIE. THANK YOU
Kida pulled a Batman move on Milo.
Ah, the nostalgia.. Kinda feel like watching the movie now!
