Atlantis and treasure planet are my two favorites
They weren't musicals so they flopped
Frick CGI so much bros, my eyes feasted on this beauty as a child
it has CGI too you mong
mechanic girl was hotter than the fake techno-native princess, there I said itt
that's just your own inferior taste
mechanic was a traitor anyway
How was selling magic crystal weapons to the kaiser not based
Yeah I don't really like how media in general often acts like WW1 Germany=WW2 Germany, Germany in WW1 was our enemy but wasn't a moral enemy that needed to be crushed
>Germany in WW1 was our enemy but wasn't a moral enemy
yes they were. People merely disagreed on the realities of entering a european war, which hadn't been done before. The only real argument against fighting for white civilization against the Hun was a materialistic one.

this was pretty rad when it first came out
the first teaser trailer was quite mysterious and when I first saw the ad in theaters as a kid, it hyped me up
they hyped up the "mysterious adventure" aspect of it in the marketing and seeing the giant submarine at first was real cool
there was also this game, got it in a cereal box I think

i think this is the first trailer I saw
Oh hell yeah, I saw this in the theaters too and built up the whole movie in my head,
Do you have pdf of this essential guide? Pls I wanna see it so much
Also Atlantis movie and Ps1 games are both excellent
People that like this when it came out are in their 40s now, no kid liked this boring shit, not even wimpy nerds
Close, but I’m 24 anon. It’s kino I still rewatch this and treasure planet from time to time not the best Disney Films tho
You were like 3 when this shit came out, moron. Learn to read
i thought parts of it were cool, like the submarine and the leviathan, basically the same as my opinion of titan a.e.
The early leviathan vs sub fight was a blatant device to remove them from the rest of the film, after all the marketing heavily featured both. I remember that pissed me off.
i mean what more can you really do with the sub and the leviathan unless you want to set the whole movie underwater, just sucks that the rest of the atlantean machinery looked so lame
imagine if there were smaller dronelike versions of the leviathan instead of static fish shaped hoverbikes that you just turned on
The smaller machines are Dinotopia inspired and I was quite satisfied by them as a kid, but only one scene of the big sub was not cool. At the very least, it should've survived the evacuation with heavy damage, and been on the surface outside the volcano.
probably budget reasons now that i think about it, cgi used to be very expensive
Good thing that movies are timeless, so it doesn't matter who liked it when it came out.
Same but I'm 23
best girl
Too ahead of its time. Kids movies were for kids in those days. The science of making all-ages capeshit had only just been advanced by POTC. Atlantis was a failed attempt with mature themes and complex worldbuilding, that was also too grim for kids. I remember seeing it in theaters as a youngster, and the sub destruction happened much too early for a kids film, it removed all sense of proportion. You can't mow down 80 people in the first act and then start a new whimsical adventure.
No songs, no cute characters. Basically none of the things Disney is known for. They went way out of their comfort zone for this movie, and failed, which is why they've been playing it safe ever since.
that was towards the end of disney's good years
check out pic rel too
Wasn't this just limited release outside of the US? I remember you needing a shity dupped tape to watch it
I found a VHS bootleg of it. It never officially came out.
Whole thing's on youtube
Maybe I’m misremembering but I thought it got a lot of bad press for being violent for a kids movie when it came out
like, I get they were determined to steal ideas exclusively from Verne, so it's half journey to the center of the earth. but you can't just name the film "atlantis," have submarines all over your adverts, then have only one underwater scene.
Why can't more animated films look this good? So many animated films/shows either just go for the "realistic" look or just the rounded, generic childlike look. It seems the late 90s/early 00s is when you had a lot of these really amazing looking animated films.
Mid 90's to 2001 is when studios were putting the most money into 2D animation. Once Shrek came out, it changed everything. Nobody wanted to see a 2D movie anymore
Shrek? More like toy story and a bug's life
Because the third act is lame compared to the first two which is a shame cause it definitely has some of my favorite art direction of all time
She will never sit on my face. Life is suffering.
One thing that bugs me is the song when they first meet the core stone where it starts with this really neat chime music then becomes blasting orchestral shit
Should've stayed chimes for maximum emotion/awe
I’ve never seen this movie. How true are accusations that it ripped off Nadia?
I don't fricking know Black person probably
it's like 80 minutes you can see for yourself
Absolutely untrue, because that implies nadia had an original idea which formed an integral part of atlantis. Putting aside the fact that nadia wasn't original, and that atlantis is based on the same thing nadia is, the similarities are certified weeb homage. not plagiarism in the sense of copying an idea to make money.
It ripped off Stargate.
So it is in the “Lion King ripped off Kimba” category of weeb raging, i.e. superficially visually similar but completely different plot.
well the accusation is strange because it's not really an original story. It's a jules verne movie, with touches of stargate and some nadia weebservice. Why not say it ripped off journey to the center of the earth? Maybe because fans want Verne's work adapted and aren't trying to gatekeep it.
