Atlantis’ director talks about a full blown sequel called Atlantis II: Shards of Chaos where Helga is still alive and becoming the sequel’s Main villain trying to take over Atlantis. Helga wearing WW1 clothes with a Gas Mask But Disney gave us Milo’s return.
Eh...I'm fine with Helga not returning. The first movie implied she was dying while shooting. You know, directly having revenge as her last act. The place was also covered in lava. Her surviving would be some bullshit even for a Disney movie.
Milo: "What's your name?" Kida: "Kidagakash." Milo: "Ki-Ki-Kidagashmaga...umm, do you have a nickname?" Kida: *chuckles* "Kida." My boyo Pig over here: "Kila."
@@dragonheart1236 absolutely, but I'm willing to forgive that in a movie where the Atlanteans can speak fluent English despite having no contact with any remotely modern PIE-descended language. I wish they had just had Milo act as a translator with them learning English at an at least remotely realistic pace. It's still unrealistic but much less so.
This movie is still peak Disney in my mind, man. The design of all the vehicles - how steampunk, yet plausible the human ships are, the almost sci-fi, yet ancient Atlantean tech. God, the leviathan scene still haunts my dreams, especially when Milo stares it down the eyes and realizes that it's "mechanical."
Maybe the reason the crew was so antagonistic to Milo in the beginning was that they knew that were going to eventually betray him and it was way to distance themselves from him 🤔
20:42 There's a woman who survived worse. She fell out of a commercial jet, yet lived to tell the tale. Later in life she did speeches on airplane safety. From the looks of things, Helga is injured, but as history shows: being injured doesn't stop you from firing a gun.
When it comes to Rourke having the ripped page from the journal, I had a headcannon/theory that Milo's grandfather was also a linguist who had told Rourke about the page and possibly could have been killed by Rourke for this info due to a difference in values and Milo's grandfather was in Rourke's way.
As an English Major I’ve ALWAYS loved the linguistic portions of this movie. Especially how language is so transformative : words, symbols, pictographs, iconography, and drawings. They all are so important to communication and help people from different cultures understand one another.
fun fact: they actually hired the guy who made klingon to make a language for the atlantians, so it actually is possible to learn the atlantian that they use in the movie!

Dude this was one of my go-to movies when I was having a bad day as a kid. No matter what, Atlantis would help turn shit around. It's kind of crazy how the forgotten Disney films are usually the better ones.
6:03 I don't know about other people, but in my eyes it's implied that Milo's grandfather narrowed down more or less where Atlantis should be, and that Whitmore's immense wealth and access would have led to the course being more accurately plotted. However, without the book, knowing the entrance to Atlantis is somewhere on the sea floor would be like knowing there's a needle in a haystack without having access to a magnet.
Have you watched black cauldron recently?I had fond memories of it and decided to re watch It a while back, there are reasons people forgot about that one. I do agree with the other two tough
I kinda think the reason the crew gave him the cold shoulder for so long was because he wasn't one of them. Almost all of them seem to know each other, most have had to work hard for everything they have; and then there's Milo, who loves Atlantis and that was apparently sufficient for a $1 billion expedition that cost 90% of the crew their lives before they even reached the front door. I'm also willing to bet they were told not to get attached in case he resisted once their real mission started.
So we just gonna ignore the fact that the king was voiced by Leonard Nimoy? Cause ion know about y'all, but Mr. Spock as the king of Atlantis is pretty cool to me.
This movie actually has the best side characters that feel so real and interesting. Nobody feels left out or mulled over, and you can tell they put a lot of work into each one. Yeah there's a lot of comic relief in each one, but you can tell when shit goes down who they really are on the inside.

19:46 The giant hot air balloon actually makes sense, since a common practice in item retrieval in modern scuba missions is to connect large balloons to objects of importance so a vessel at the surface can retrieve it

If something cocks up before they reach Atlantis, then it's a call for help. If they deploy it after arrival, it can be used as a way to more quickly transport items of extreme value. Just the way it is used in the film.

That one and Twins are both great, in Twins they're non-identical twins separated from birth who are nothing alike. I have a DVD set with those two and Kindergarten Cop all together lol
I've been saying the exact same for YEARS now, I love this movie. The art style is fantastic, the lighting for the scenes is amazing, and the music is my favorite part of it. The secret swim, the song that plays when milo and kida are swimming under water is THE BEST.
there's a nostalgia group for this movie on fb, and it's got the writers Tab Murphy and Gary Trousdale in it. They worked on the story too and Gary is also is the director of the Atlantis. They are SO interactive with everyone, not only will they usually answer any questions anyone has about the movie, be it about the process, the music, the inspiration, the writing, but they'll just pop in for chats fairly often. I believe a few other crew members are in the group as well, and it's just really nice to see everyone there, as well as to see the love for this movie burn so still burn so hot. edit: they've said before in the group a handful of times that they were forced to cut LOADS of material. even posted a few scripts! that could be why you/someone else feels certain moments are weird or have no explanation

My dog has lost 23 lbs since her pancreatitis and is healing very well. Her name is Noel and I love her very dearly. She’s 13 years old and doesn’t have any grey hair yet, and is still chasing cats and squirrels. My other dog Scout has recently given up his hobby of running headfirst into oncoming traffic. He’s been doing it since he was a young adult dog, and we think he may die soon, but luckily he’s found out that the bricks of our new fireplace are warm, and sleeps on them whenever he’s not trying to break into our refrigerator. Noel is an ex-fat snowflake and Scout is a cockroach gremlin who just can’t seem to be killed.
This movie is one part of a quartet Disney movies that formed my childhood, the other three are: treasure planet, emperors new groove, and road to el dorado
22:16 Actually, they say there was nothing living. Just statues, gold, and ruins. The reason they're rich is a) the gold, and b) finding Atlantis, but the reason nobody else is going is because c) almost everyone died and d) the place has already been "looted" by the original team
Considering Rorke was part of the expedition that found the book with Milo's grandfather, I assume that in a very poor judge of character moment he overshared a bit too much, Rorke put 2+2 together and ripped and kept the page for a rainy day.
Yeah, not only the body count is high, but I love that like Star Wars, they have a battle in the end; Like not a raid or a skirmish or a simple brawl like at the end of Beauty and the Beast, no, it's a full militarized one side vs another side battle; like the one that you say "Battle of" Battle of Naboo, Battle of Geonosis, Battle of Coruscant, Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, Battle of Endor, Battle of Zion (Matrix), Battle of Hogwarts, Battle of New York (Avengers), Battle of Chicago (Transformers) . . . The Battle of Atlantis . . . "Candle shrine is a little bit creepy . . ." It's his Paternal Grandfather, his father's father. It's not like he's a stalker who has a shrine to a love interest . . . like Helga Pataki X3 Edit: She wants Arnold Shortman's shortman XD "Sorry you're dead, deal with it." If I were him, my first act; I'm telling St. Peter it's all Audrey's fault! X3 How is my dog doing? . . . My Paternal Grandmother's Tibetan Terrier; Dixie passed away . . . over 18 years ago . . . So yeah, umm, I guess she's doing great, chilling with the Lord :D
This movie was the thing that made me realize how bisexual I really was when I was younger.....I was attracted to Milo and his geekiness and intelligence and then BAM, Helga came around and I was like "fuck"
@@princessadrigirl6774 The black cauldron is a deserved flop. I recently read the books that the movie was based off of and its a disgrace compared to it. The movie did zero justice for the characters and the books. But that's just my opinion. I do recommend the books tho
@@thehashbrownguy1322 I honestly don’t think something needs to be 100% like the books to be good, plus it’s not like they had total control over the movie lol. Who knows what it could’ve been without major interference
@@princessadrigirl6774 I agree but they got characters wrong, they swapped names and roles. They fricking killed Gurgi even tho he doesn't die in the book at all. They made Fflewddur old and wrinkly and Dalben isn't a wise enchanter. I would recommend the books to see for yourself.
Fun fact: the character Milo Thatcher was actually based on another popular character named Dr. Daniel Jackson from the Stargate franchise. Who literally has the same appearance and also has a similar personality.
I loved this movie as a child. It was so much bigger than anything the real world had to offer when I was little.. it had me so invested everytime I watched it. Need to rewatch it soon as an adult for sure
@@ineedtostop6831 Personally I didn't care or remember much of that film. But mostly cause I am not the biggest fan of most Disney films, also I honestly have a hard time getting interested in media set in the medieval era (honestly so sick of how overused that setting is).
No, Atlantis is far more underrated. At least Treasure Planet gets decent reviews, Atlantis is sitting at like a 40% on rotten tomatoes despite less interesting and well put together films getting higher scores. I love both and prefer Treasure Planet but I think Atlantis is less popular and fondly looked at.
i’d personally also add The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, idk if it’s generally true or not but when i bring it up when discussing disney with people sooo many don’t know it- once a girl i knew had a disney costume party for her 18th, most people went as “modern” versions, i went as modern Esmerelda and like no one had a clue as to who I was, not even the girl throwing the party who was that typical disney princess obsessed fan (tattoos of some disney stuff and all)
@@Robin-be1zm It’s not talked about as much as other Disney films in the general public. In fact, it’s never talked about. But it has a vocal following online.
@@alexlazzerly3677 thus it's not underrated. A rating says how good a movie is, something is considered underrated if everyone is talking about it like it's worse than it is. Treasure planet is not underrated
My theory about why Rourke took the page is that they found the book with Milo’s grandfather, who was also able to read the book, and thus Milo’s grandpa told him about the contents and perhaps he then took the page in secret.
The cast, the animation, the freaking music omg, the music just gives me chills, and the action sequences are just awesome in my opinion!!!! Also RIP LEONARD NIMOY who played Kidas Father!!!!
Remember Mignola? The one from Hellboy comic books? He drew the production and character designs of Atlantis and it's one of my favourite parts of it now
@@whatthehellisthis Probably... but, they could do the *Treasure Planet* sequel that was planned but was never completed. But keep it 2-D animated. Retro, just like the film's aesthetic.
Live action remakes need to stop being a thing. The charm of the film comes from it being conceived in a unique and breathtaking art style. Making things live action doesn't add anything, only takes away, and they NEVER turn out well. I just don't understand why people enjoy watching something they loved but with the soul sucked out of it?
I am so glad to see more people appreciating this movie, it’s got such a cool and unique vibe for a Disney movie and I just love the dialogue and character animation
The black cauldron is my favourite Disney movie but Treasure Planet and Atlantis are up there. I have watched all these movies like 100 times over. The underrated movies are the best ones.
You do realize all the plot holes, the huge fleet being prepared already, the crew being mean to Milo, ridiculing Atlantis despite being fully prepared for it bringing fighter biplanes and giant blimp, and the missing page, can all be explained if you assume that everyone else already understood the journal's content and are just putting up an act in front of Milo, right? Milo isn't the only person that can read the journal. He's just the only one being kept in the dark to be their best actor to buy entrance to the Atlantis and sweet talk Atlanteans into telling them where the crystal is (which turns out wasn't needed, further hinting that Rourke can decipher ancient symbols just fine without Milo). Kida went along with him was just a bit weird, but this is a magic crystal we're talking about and you can pull out theories for days about why she's not fighting back. But the rest of the plot holes are pretty clear cut.
1:50 From what I can gather, the king of Atlantis used the heart crystal to make a weapon of unspeakable power - what we see at the start of the film is, in my eyes, a test fire. Except it's a test fire not unlike Castle Bravo, where the weapon turns out to be spectacularly more powerful than intended, made even worse because it's quite close to the city proper.
Mentioning the amount of casualties in this movie, my siblings and me would watch it basically on repeat, they were 5 and 6 (i was like 11)... i never even thought about it... no wonder im now into crime and disaster docus O.o
One of my favorite movies growing up. Still holds up pretty well, you can also tell Disney put a lot of soul into this. It's like a love letter to classic pulp sci fi like Jules Verne or hg wells.
18:27 One would expect that, when granted infinite or near-infinite power, a human mind would need a considerable amount of time to sift through the input of 71,000 new senses and 11 extra spatial dimensions. Also, if we talk regular biology, having enough energy to create virtually impenetrable constructs of hard light flowing through you would likely overload your brain and possibly knock you out.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this before in these comments, but Mole basically explored the entirety of the Paris Catacombs. I'm sure Milo didn't want to know, but I sure did!
I'm super happy that you did this video. I'd personally draw attention to "The Road to El Dorado" and "Treasure Planet" too. They're all gems that were overshadowed by the newer styles (especially after Toy Story, Monsters Inc, A Bug's Life, Antz, Shrek, Corpse Bride etc)
I love Atlantis and Treasure Planet so much! The last real Movie I watched before my Anxiety was to high to go to the cinemas was actually Treasure Planet, so it holds a special place in my heart. I watched it in an old 70th cinema and it was like a cinema dream. We were the only one watching it and urgh... best day of my life!
11:09 if I remember correctly he didn't said that they hired the most expensive people of the world, they said that they haired people that where good at their job and the equipment was the best that he could buy, but at list half of them were minoritys at that time and suffered from discrimination at the time that the movie was made, so they were probably cheaper to hire and may have been promised a % cut from anything they got back to USA.
This movie is just gorgeous. A lot of the scenes just show the amount of work the animators put into bringing them to life. I remembered being just awe-struck during the scene when Kida got absorbed into the crystal and the ending with all the chaos.
Watched this so much growing up, and having loved watching the Stargate film, which has a very similar setup, I ate this up. Music and art direction is great, and I love the variety of characters.

My dog has lost 23 lbs since her pancreatitis and is healing very well. Her name is Noel and I love her very dearly. She’s 13 years old and doesn’t have any grey hair yet, and is still chasing cats and squirrels. My other dog Scout has recently given up his hobby of running headfirst into oncoming traffic. He’s been doing it since he was a young adult dog, and we think he may die soon, but luckily he’s found out that the bricks of our new fireplace are warm, and sleeps on them whenever he’s not trying to break into our refrigerator. Noel is an ex-fat snowflake and Scout is a cockroach gremlin who just can’t seem to be killed.
This movie is one part of a quartet Disney movies that formed my childhood, the other three are: treasure planet, emperors new groove, and road to el dorado
Road to el dorado isn’t a Disney movie, it’s dreamworks
You can add Lilo & Stitch onto the list for me
"pull the lever"
"WRONG leveeeer"
"Why do we even have that lever?"
Emperor's new groove was MY SHIT growing up, i loved that movie

Actually, they say there was nothing living. Just statues, gold, and ruins. The reason they're rich is
a) the gold, and
b) finding Atlantis, but the reason nobody else is going is because
c) almost everyone died and
d) the place has already been "looted" by the original team
The motive you made for Rourke taking the page makes more sense. He doesn't know but "shiney" = money. It checks out! Thank you for the great video!
I just remembered one of his lines is literally "what's to know? It's big, it's shiny, it's gonna make us all rich". Lol.
Considering Rorke was part of the expedition that found the book with Milo's grandfather, I assume that in a very poor judge of character moment he overshared a bit too much, Rorke put 2+2 together and ripped and kept the page for a rainy day.
Yeah, not only the body count is high, but I love that like Star Wars, they have a battle in the end;
Like not a raid or a skirmish or a simple brawl like at the end of Beauty and the Beast, no, it's a full militarized one side vs another side battle; like the one that you say "Battle of"
Battle of Naboo, Battle of Geonosis, Battle of Coruscant, Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, Battle of Endor, Battle of Zion (Matrix), Battle of Hogwarts, Battle of New York (Avengers), Battle of Chicago (Transformers) . . . The Battle of Atlantis . . .
"Candle shrine is a little bit creepy . . ." It's his Paternal Grandfather, his father's father. It's not like he's a stalker who has a shrine to a love interest . . . like Helga Pataki X3 Edit: She wants Arnold Shortman's shortman XD
"Sorry you're dead, deal with it." If I were him, my first act; I'm telling St. Peter it's all Audrey's fault! X3
How is my dog doing? . . . My Paternal Grandmother's Tibetan Terrier; Dixie passed away . . . over 18 years ago . . . So yeah, umm, I guess she's doing great, chilling with the Lord :D
As soon as you said "they're on they're way" Darwin's song On My Way from The Amazing World of Gumball started playing in my head
This movie was the thing that made me realize how bisexual I really was when I was younger.....I was attracted to Milo and his geekiness and intelligence and then BAM, Helga came around and I was like "fuck"
Same!!
I genuinely wonder if Kida or Helga was a lot of lesbian's first crushes cus ooooooooooooffff
Oh..it all makes sense now
For real tho. Kida, Milo, Helga, Audrey, dr Sweet,...
Atlantis is a bisexual treasure
Kida and Milo were my sexual awakening
I love this freaking movie. This movie, road to el derado, treasure planet, and prince of Egypt, are crazy underrated
Why is his hair so glorious
I'm so mad that Disney screwed over Treasure Planet...
That & the black cauldron 😭
@@princessadrigirl6774 The black cauldron is a deserved flop. I recently read the books that the movie was based off of and its a disgrace compared to it. The movie did zero justice for the characters and the books. But that's just my opinion. I do recommend the books tho
@@thehashbrownguy1322 I honestly don’t think something needs to be 100% like the books to be good, plus it’s not like they had total control over the movie lol. Who knows what it could’ve been without major interference
@@princessadrigirl6774 I agree but they got characters wrong, they swapped names and roles. They fricking killed Gurgi even tho he doesn't die in the book at all. They made Fflewddur old and wrinkly and Dalben isn't a wise enchanter. I would recommend the books to see for yourself.
@@thehashbrownguy1322 I already know the books. Just not mad about the changes
kida was the start of my bisexual panic
Me too, now that I think about it. But pan.
Helga and Kida😩
@@itsthatmemelowell helga 🤌
Kida awaked my tan-skinned girl fascination...dark elves man...they be something.
dont have a dog, but he's doing fine, holding up stellar in non-existence
Fun fact: the character Milo Thatcher was actually based on another popular character named Dr. Daniel Jackson from the Stargate franchise. Who literally has the same appearance and also has a similar personality.
This and disney’s “dinosaur” were absolutely some of my favorites when i was a kid, but holy shit I didn’t realize atlantis had so many plot holes lol
I LOVE Dinosaur, I always forget about that movie.
No one remembers dinosaur so when I was younger and tried talking about it everyone convinced me it wasn't real and I made it up
Everyone I know says Dinosaur is garbage but I adored it as a child I had it on video, it holds a special place in my heart idc what anyone says.
Yo this and Treasure Planet don’t get enough love. I want THIS princess walking around Disney too!!!
I loved this movie as a child. It was so much bigger than anything the real world had to offer when I was little.. it had me so invested everytime I watched it. Need to rewatch it soon as an adult for sure
Im happy that a lot of people liked this movie, my grandfather and my father helped making this movie.
Personally put Treasure Planet is the most underrated Disney movie with Atlantis being a solid second.
i agree!!
Same
@@ineedtostop6831 Personally I didn't care or remember much of that film. But mostly cause I am not the biggest fan of most Disney films, also I honestly have a hard time getting interested in media set in the medieval era (honestly so sick of how overused that setting is).
No, Atlantis is far more underrated. At least Treasure Planet gets decent reviews, Atlantis is sitting at like a 40% on rotten tomatoes despite less interesting and well put together films getting higher scores. I love both and prefer Treasure Planet but I think Atlantis is less popular and fondly looked at.
i’d personally also add The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, idk if it’s generally true or not but when i bring it up when discussing disney with people sooo many don’t know it- once a girl i knew had a disney costume party for her 18th, most people went as “modern” versions, i went as modern Esmerelda and like no one had a clue as to who I was, not even the girl throwing the party who was that typical disney princess obsessed fan (tattoos of some disney stuff and all)
I was UNPREPARED FOR WHEN HE SCREAMED: MILO! PUT THAT CHILD DOWN-
I genuinely jumped and laughed so hard!
15:12
I love this movie, but the most underrated Disney movie is Treasure Planet.
For sure
How? Everyone who's seen it loves it. Underrated doesn't mean least watched...
FACTS
@@Robin-be1zm It’s not talked about as much as other Disney films in the general public. In fact, it’s never talked about. But it has a vocal following online.
@@alexlazzerly3677 thus it's not underrated. A rating says how good a movie is, something is considered underrated if everyone is talking about it like it's worse than it is. Treasure planet is not underrated
The sharp contrast between "WHO WOULDA THOUGHT!?!?" and "oh shit my chair is still broken" is just peak comedy
MY CHILDHOOD!!! 😭😭😭 FINALLY SOME APPRECIATION! 🙏🙏🙏
A Walk to Remember full movie what movie name
My theory about why Rourke took the page is that they found the book with Milo’s grandfather, who was also able to read the book, and thus Milo’s grandpa told him about the contents and perhaps he then took the page in secret.
I used to watch this movie on VHS when I visited my grandparents, I still remember it being one of my favorites
ruclips.net/video/rfEwA7TG1gc/видео.html algorithm what movie called Designer Pups not Dash Of Love
The cast, the animation, the freaking music omg, the music just gives me chills, and the action sequences are just awesome in my opinion!!!! Also RIP LEONARD NIMOY who played Kidas Father!!!!
This man is going through my whole childhood
A Walk to Remember full movie what movie name
Remember Mignola? The one from Hellboy comic books? He drew the production and character designs of Atlantis and it's one of my favourite parts of it now
*Atlantis* and *Treasure Planet* are the films that should have a live action remake. Cruella?! Ain't nobody got time for that!
i think they should stay untouched imo. they’d get butchered in live-action.
@@whatthehellisthis Probably... but, they could do the *Treasure Planet* sequel that was planned but was never completed. But keep it 2-D animated. Retro, just like the film's aesthetic.
Live action remakes need to stop being a thing. The charm of the film comes from it being conceived in a unique and breathtaking art style. Making things live action doesn't add anything, only takes away, and they NEVER turn out well. I just don't understand why people enjoy watching something they loved but with the soul sucked out of it?
Dear god no! The only plus to this movie not being well loved is they’ll probably never make a live action.
Treasure Planet was my favourite movie growing up and everybody always talks about it as a flop, so I can't wait for your take on it!
I can't wait for the Treasure Planet video it's literally in my top 10
I am so glad to see more people appreciating this movie, it’s got such a cool and unique vibe for a Disney movie and I just love the dialogue and character animation
The black cauldron is my favourite Disney movie but Treasure Planet and Atlantis are up there. I have watched all these movies like 100 times over. The underrated movies are the best ones.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is my favorite Disney movie. So underrated with wonderful animation, great characters, and an interesting plot!
You do realize all the plot holes, the huge fleet being prepared already, the crew being mean to Milo, ridiculing Atlantis despite being fully prepared for it bringing fighter biplanes and giant blimp, and the missing page, can all be explained if you assume that everyone else already understood the journal's content and are just putting up an act in front of Milo, right?
Milo isn't the only person that can read the journal. He's just the only one being kept in the dark to be their best actor to buy entrance to the Atlantis and sweet talk Atlanteans into telling them where the crystal is (which turns out wasn't needed, further hinting that Rourke can decipher ancient symbols just fine without Milo). Kida went along with him was just a bit weird, but this is a magic crystal we're talking about and you can pull out theories for days about why she's not fighting back. But the rest of the plot holes are pretty clear cut.
My friends and siblings made fun of me for liking Atlantis so much... But I always knew I just had better taste than them.
Dude, Atlantis The Lost Empire is just too good, truly an underrated movie 🎥🔥
Yes

From what I can gather, the king of Atlantis used the heart crystal to make a weapon of unspeakable power - what we see at the start of the film is, in my eyes, a test fire. Except it's a test fire not unlike Castle Bravo, where the weapon turns out to be spectacularly more powerful than intended, made even worse because it's quite close to the city proper.
If I remember correctly, the dad hints that the explosion happened because the gods were punishing them for using crystals for war
No he blatantly said he tried using the heart to create a massive weapon
@@koichidignitythief7429 And in turn it wiped out both civilisations
Mentioning the amount of casualties in this movie, my siblings and me would watch it basically on repeat, they were 5 and 6 (i was like 11)... i never even thought about it... no wonder im now into crime and disaster docus O.o
One of my favorite movies growing up. Still holds up pretty well, you can also tell Disney put a lot of soul into this. It's like a love letter to classic pulp sci fi like Jules Verne or hg wells.

One would expect that, when granted infinite or near-infinite power, a human mind would need a considerable amount of time to sift through the input of 71,000 new senses and 11 extra spatial dimensions. Also, if we talk regular biology, having enough energy to create virtually impenetrable constructs of hard light flowing through you would likely overload your brain and possibly knock you out.
I miss Jim Varney. For ages it hadn’t dawned on me that he was the voice for Jedidiah.
Such an incredibly gifted actor and kindhearted man, he will always be cherished. ❤

Ernest is awesome
I don't know if anyone mentioned this before in these comments, but Mole basically explored the entirety of the Paris Catacombs. I'm sure Milo didn't want to know, but I sure did!
“Grande Isle” with Nick Cage has to be your next review.
I'm super happy that you did this video. I'd personally draw attention to "The Road to El Dorado" and "Treasure Planet" too. They're all gems that were overshadowed by the newer styles (especially after Toy Story, Monsters Inc, A Bug's Life, Antz, Shrek, Corpse Bride etc)
Check out Horns with Daniel Radcliffe. It’s actually quite the underrated gem
THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES GROWING UP, I literally know people who have never seen this movie it's fuckin amazing super underrated man.

The only complaint I have for this movie is it’s TOO SHORT 😭
I love Atlantis and Treasure Planet so much!
The last real Movie I watched before my Anxiety was to high to go to the cinemas was actually Treasure Planet, so it holds a special place in my heart. I watched it in an old 70th cinema and it was like a cinema dream. We were the only one watching it and urgh... best day of my life!
11:09 if I remember correctly he didn't said that they hired the most expensive people of the world, they said that they haired people that where good at their job and the equipment was the best that he could buy, but at list half of them were minoritys at that time and suffered from discrimination at the time that the movie was made, so they were probably cheaper to hire and may have been promised a % cut from anything they got back to USA.
"If I hear the word 'Atlantis' again, I'll step in front of a bus!"
"I'll push you!"
This movie is just gorgeous. A lot of the scenes just show the amount of work the animators put into bringing them to life. I remembered being just awe-struck during the scene when Kida got absorbed into the crystal and the ending with all the chaos.
"Leave a comment on how your dog is doing"
Still non existent.
Watched this so much growing up, and having loved watching the Stargate film, which has a very similar setup, I ate this up. Music and art direction is great, and I love the variety of characters.
"Atlantis The Lost Empire" is a really strange way to spell Treasure Planet
The main character staying behind reminds me of the original Stargate Movie!
Audrey, Helga and Kida all helped me realize that I was definitely not straight
So, you're into dudes?
God helga is definitely sexy!!
Freak
This and treasure planet are probably the most underrated Disney movies, I love them, they don't get enough love
