An Underrated Treasure or an Overblown Mess? | Atlantis: The Lost Empire Review

Disney's attempt of an action-packed blockbuster has quite an interesting history, but is the movie itself worth discovering?

Had a feeling that ATLE was rushed. I still like the film though.

Timothy Whitfield (MediaNutso)

Hoo boy, Hunchback II is next. As soon as you said, "How true beauty is on the inside", Mat, I knew which one it was.

Mat Brunet (AniMat)

I have no idea what happened with the music, but don't worry, I'd say in 20-30 minutes after I write this comment, the music should come back and the review will be normal with the soundtrack and everything. Sorry for the weird confusion.

Was wondering if it was a sound issue, but hopefully it’s resolved soon.

Personally when it comes to Atlantis The Lost Empire, I personally do consider it as just an ok movie. I definitely do think it has a lot of interesting ideas, but the execution really makes it suffer. I also do think this film does value quantity over quality in terms of its characters, but there’s not a lot to them, on top of featuring one of the worst and most predictable twist villains Disney has ever created. But I definitely do think the animation is absolutely gorgeous and very well done and the action scenes are a lot of fun. Overall I do consider this just an ok movie and a pretty mixed bag with a lot of things that I like but also a lot of things that I do like, not Disney's best animated film, but still far from their worst. Also I do think the action adventure element of this and Treasure Planet, I think Disney handled a lot better in Raya And The Last Dragon. So the next review is going to be The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, possibly one of the worst Direct to video sequels Disney has ever done. Also really funny TF2 joke.

I think Atlantis actually has similar shortcomings as Big Hero 6 would have years later. One of the reasons for that it's ideas would mostly be expanded on with it's various tie-ins and spin-offs. If Atlantis was made in the Iger era, it would of had it's chance to be more than a movie. Alas, we only have this and a failed TV Pliot to show for. BTW, great joke about the characters basically being TF2 characters. I wonder if Valve took some ideas from Atlantis for the characters.

Hugo Segal

With "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" reviewed, you'll have five movies in the Second Dark Age canon left to review in the near future: "Fantasia 2000," "Lilo & Stitch," "Brother Bear," "Home on the Range," and "Meet the Robinsons."

Oh boy, next one is Hunchback II. Well music or not, this was an interesting review. I definitely consider pretty underrated personally, but yeah more could have been done. Originally a series was to be made and one of the proposed episodes would have been a crossover with Gargoyles. But because the film flopped, whatever episodes were finished were put together as the direct to video sequel.

Kenneth Stoddard

Since everything is taken care of, I will say that I personally like this movie not to mentioned underrated too. I grew up with this movie as I seen it multiple times as I like watching animated movies that featured plenty of memorable action scenes such as this for example. Now that I’m an adult, I still enjoy it years later. I like the action scenes of course, unique personalities from the characters, great voice acting along with having Michael J. Fox as Milo considering this and Stuart Little was one of his last appearance he appeared in a big movies for like this before he temporarily halt his acting for a while due to Parkinson disease, I also like the culture of Atlantis, terrific animation as I do like what Mike Mignola has done after seeing Hellboy, and of course the music score by James Newton Howard as it sounded not just adventurous but also epic too like the final shot of Atlantis for example. I will agree that the story isn’t well told due to the short running time and rushed pacing, the characters aren’t fleshed out well, and the twist villain that is so predictable that makes today’s Disney twist villains looked good. For the humor, I think I enjoyed it more than you do as I don’t think it ruins the tone of this film. I seen plenty of adventures films that do have it but done right like Indiana Jones for example. Do I think it great and one of Disney’s best films? Not really. It a good film in my opinion and depending how people feel, I can see it either a love or hate situation upon watching this as it is one of those darker Disney animated films. I do wish they expand more of the world of Atlantis as this has many ideas to explore if this was released and became a box office hit in today’s time. I also wouldn’t mind to have this movie being remake despite my distaste towards the remakes as this one could’ve fix what the original made. Can’t believe this movie is 20 years old as it manages to hold up pretty much well on it own right now.

While Hunchback 1 has amazing animation, dark themes inside an emotional story about acceptance, a likable protagonist, a grim and just creepy villain and one of the most underrated Disney soundtracks ever, Hunchback 2 has none of that, at least I think it does. I haven't watched it, thank God. But still I think.

Kim Lechman

Oh God Hunchback 2 is quite possible the worst Disney sequel of all time, and yes, I do believe it to be worse than Belle’s Magical World. While I do agree that Belle’s Magical World is total crap, I at the very least understood the reasoning behind making it. It’s based off of a very successful Disney film, especially during that time. The first Hunchback (while it does have great cult following and is known today as a great Disney) wasn’t very successful when it first came out. It wasn’t that successful at the box office, critics and audience were either mixed about it or hated it, with Disney fans and families hating it for being too dark and scary, while fans of the original novel by Victor Hugo hated it for making it too friendly by adding comic relief like the Gargoyles. So really, Hunchback 2 literally had NO PURPOSE TO BE MADE!

A HAPPY MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY TO THIS UNDERRATED HIDDEN GEM (which like Gulliver Travels, is part of the honorable underrated lists)

Hugo Segal

Hence why “Big Hero 6” didn’t deserve a Best Animated Feature Oscar in a year where we had “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” “Song of the Sea,” “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya,” and “The BoxTrolls” competing (yes, had “The Lego Movie” not been snubbed for a nomination in that category, it too would’ve had its shot as a formidable contender).

Sebastian Canino (Cinemageddon Reviews)

I agree 100% with this review, and I’m a fan of the film myself. It’s one of those cases where the issues are noticeable for me, but the rest of the film charmed me so much that I’m willing to look past it. Honestly, with all the Disney remakes we’ve been getting, THIS is the one that deserves a live action remake. If nothing else, they won’t exactly be ruining a beloved classic, and at best, they could improve on something that had potential but wasn’t handled too well.

Hunter O'Laughlin

I still won’t forgive the Academy for awarding Best Animated Feature to Big Hero 6 when Dreamworks Animation was at their worst shape.

Hunter O'Laughlin

He’s nearly done with the Disney Renaissance films. All he’s got left is The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Tarzan (1999)

Hunter O'Laughlin

Also, Belle’s Magical World was originally going to be a TV series to capitalize on the success of other TV series based on Disney Renaissance films such as The Little Mermaid (1992 - 94), Aladdin (1994 - 95) and Timon and Pumbaa (1995 - 99).

Hugo Segal

@Hunter O’Laughlin It’s instances like “Big Hero 6’s” win where I appreciate how the Academy treated the Best Animated Feature category during its early years (until the 2007 or 2008 ceremony).

Between you and me, however, we both know the probability of an “Atlantis” (or even “Treasure Planet”) remake would be next to nil because aside from “Lilo & Stitch” (and, to a lesser extent, “Dinosaur” and “Brother Bear”), there would be no point in adapting a movie that is associated with Disney’s third Dark Age.
