@@Maxmellow94 You know, I had a dream once that Disney made a fully functional submarine replica toy you could fit one person inside (if they were lying prone). It was meant to be played with in a pool or pond and had a maximum depth of 15 ft. (It's still a toy after all. Not meant to go deep or far). It was the coolest dream I ever had and it seemed so real that I was pissed when I woke up.
@@Maxmellow94 Believe me, I was all excited thinking I had come up with the best water toy in the world. But then reality came back to me. Simply put, it's too dangerous. What if there was a leak and the person inside couldn't get out? I tried to brainstorm different safety measures but none came to me. Ultimately, a working sub for the pool is a great toy idea in theory and a lawsuit waiting to happen in practice.
Makes you realize something; Those Leviathans were basically used as massive WMD warships, given their destructive power seen by the one in the movie. Which leads credence to believe that the Atlanteans were probably a warlike conquering civilization, expanding their immortal empire across the world before the cataclysm began.

I love the forshadowing we get from Rourke that shows his real intentions. "Nice pictures" He's seen and read the journal and already knows about the heart of Atlantis and has likely already taken the page from it. "This should be enriching for all of us" he plans on selling the crystal for huge sums of money when they leave Atlantis and return to the surface. "All our hopes rest on you Mr. Thatch. You and that book" That way anytime something bad happens that gets people hurt or killed Milo will be blamed and nobody else.

You know I sometimes forget this film takes place during the beginning year of ww1 and we have a giant mobile underground digger, small troop planes that can be shot into the air by a truck. Mini fast-moving subs that glide across the water with ease and a giant sub that I think is bigger then any known sub that was even created in world war 1. The first modern tanks were not even made yet and this is bar far a great feat in technology in an era when we still used steam-powered.
Well given the expedition was a private venture by a wealthy philanthropist, the funding and research to build such massive machines would be less restricted than a typical government project, where the goal isn't necessarily 'the absolute biggest and best", merely the 'good enough and cheap to mass produce". *inhales* Ahhh.. Smells like Capitalism. ^.-.^
I mean that submarine is multiple times bigger than the biggest nuclear sub we have today. Pretty incredible. I love how it has the smaller subs that deploy from it.
@@articusramos808 You can catch a glimpse of the the tank driving into the sub in this scene. I remember reading that it was supposed to fight that giant bug thing they find when Milo sends them down the wrong tunnel, but that scene was ultimately cut.
@@BleedingUranium yea would love love see them tanks do some battle. I'm guessing they had to leave it in the aqua evac? They might've left more stuff behind during the convoy montage. Hell, that's typically an animation short cut
I love that they designed the submarine to be actually practical in terms of hull design. The bridge being spherical makes sense, because it's the strongest shape in terms of structural integrity!
Jules Verne would definitely have liked Disney's "20,000 Leagues under the Sea". Verne was silent on the actual power source of Captain Nemo's submarine Nautilus, as he had no idea for anything even remotely plausible, but, in the Disney film, Captain Nemo blithely tells his guests that the Nautilus is driven by the fundamental forces of the Universe, strongly implying that she is nuclear powered, without actually saying so.
Because it’s become so mainstream, so nearly every design is copy-pasted. Now, if people used the common designs as room for coming up with good stories and characters (or, heck, just refining the basic story, characters, and visuals and polishing them to a diamond sheen) that wouldn’t be a problem, but too many people just want to put it together in a slapdash manner, thinking that the popularity will save them.
Fun fact: When Milo is throwing up over the side of the ship, he says "carrots. Why is it always carrots?" His VA, Michael J. Fox, is actually allergic to carrots 😆
2:30 James Newton Howard really captures the epicness and spirit of adventure in this sequence. It reminds me a lot of David Arnold when he did Stargate.
Interesting you should mention Stargate, as some folks have made comparisons between the two movies, particularly what their protagonists go through in the beginning.
2:25 God, the moment the choir starts to sing it gives me goosebumps all around. Add to that the complete view of the Ulysses as it dives, beginning the team's journey to find the lost city. God, watching this at the cinema must gave one hell of an experience.
That's all you know it's a very well written twist vilian it needs to be very subtle and there needs to be more of those subtle hints as the plot goes on
I'm putting it in my fanfiction, "Kingdom Heartless." My author-created character (along with Sora) travel to Atlantis because my character's Keyblade broke when they fought Maleficent, and she learned that the Atlanteans were the smiths of her Keyblade some 700 years back. (She learned this because her guardian, a 2,500-year-old anthropomorphic wolf, was the one that'd delivered the plans to Atlantis per the divine orders of Kingdom Hearts. Her family's been the paladin protectors of Kingdom Hearts for over 1,000 years.)
People are amazed by the sub & this scene. Meanwhile, no one is noticing how big the boat would have had to be to house that massive sub, let alone the massive space around it (1:01) as well as multiple levels & space to carry the cargo, trucks, crew etc.
@@algorithmsavior3820 it has a tumblehome hull (where the lower hull is wider and the superstructure is much more narrow) with gun barbettes, so I don't think he gutted a prior ship. This is something that Whitmore built himself specifically to house the Ulysses. And given how deep down the Ulysses goes, its easily the most advanced submarine in the world at this point by a frankly ludicrous margin, and would actually give some submarines built during the height of the cold war a run for their money by size and depth it runs.
Well they did make huge ocean liners back in the day like the Titanic so you can imagine it's probably as large as the titanic but a regular cargo ship. Don't worry, if we have the materials and money, we can create anything. Look at Noah and his sons they made a huge ark that can carry two of eat land animal. So imagine how much labor and materials they needed in order to build a huge wooden ark and also they didn't have advanced machinery back then just by hand

@PrinceOfDolAlmroth In a battle this sub would win It's able to launch Torpedos from Turrets aboard and launch Mini-Subs that can directly target any other sub it went against
I watched this movie on DVD in Nantucket on my dad’s laptop. And every second I see a moment from this film, I’m reminded of that day. No other film brings back memories the way Disney does. And Atlantis is one of the best films I have ever watched. The music, the acting, the action, all of it is perfect.
1:37 it’s funny how in here the commander and milo get along well and the commander almost admired him for having such a legendary grandfather. But then at the end when they go one on one the commander just drags milo’s behind all over the place it made me laugh as a kid and still does🤣
This was one of my all time favorite scenes, and even as a kid when I especially loved this submarine I was saddened to see it get destroyed. Now we’re left wondering why no one would bother making a real life version of this, let alone why we don’t use these anymore, not in a grand scale.
One: having windows of any kind on a submarine is basically impossible especially ones that go down to really deep depths. Two: there's just not enough to explore down in the ocean to warrant big commercial submarines. All we use are military submarines or small submersibles attached to larger ships. It's just more cost efficientm
@@HelghastStalker nor the need. The deepest diving nuclear subs were made by the Soviets, stuff like the Alfa class. And even then it was more so for a flex or for strategic purposes
@@HelghastStalker Soviet and then Russian military R&D has always been capable of pulling off crazy shit even on tight budgets and with technological constraints. It's just a shame that their military is corrupt from top to bottom as Ukraine has shown and all the funding that goes into it ends up dissapearing into some general's pocket
You're probably not gonna believe this, but I actually have a dream about this submarine being a real life U.S. Navy warship. The ship, the subpods, the aqua evacs. + A few modifications. Like a few missile silos. Your could say it's a guided missile submarine.
It's crazy to think how small those people are compared to the Ulysses. But then when you see the size difference from the sub to the Leviathan. It's terrifying.
Fun Fact: Michael J Fox actually improvised the line about the carrots after Milo pukes, due to actually being allergic to carrots himself! Mind. Blown.
Knowing also that they built a real life miniature of the sub for reference further adds to the coolness of the scene in my opinion. And actually, that also now explains why the descent scene is done in such a way that a live action miniature shot would be done. Maybe even having a miniature is what gave them the idea to do it like that.
looking back at this now I like how Vinny's expression when meeting Milo for the first time goes consecutively from contempt, to subtle irritation, to semi-sarcastic enthusiasm until finally parting with what might be a joke. at first he's not happy that there's a 'lost greenhorn' heading into the sub. He's further annoyed at Milo's reaction to picking up one of his dynamite sticks like he thinks he's about to get judged for it, but it slowly changes to enthusiasm when Milo, rather than staying scared just politely asks what else Vinny's carrying. Vinny found his boom after all, it's what he do for this film and he can appreciate someone being more curious than scared.
they didn't need to make that bridge bubble transparent, letting us see Milo and all the rest of the crew working and walking around inside. but they did. and i love them for it.
Seeing this in theater was one of my best childhood memories. Sadly there only about 10 people in the room with me and my dad. Such a shame that this was killed by critics for not being a "traditional" Disney movie. This movie had so much potential, they were even making a TV series about discovering how much Atlantis influenced the world after it vanished. The episodes that were complete were combined together into a sequel movie to make some quick cash.
@@cgmason7568 how? We STILL don't need any more garbage remakes... But it is all we are getting. Leave the good classics alone, they are perfectly fine and timeless. Remakes water down what made then special to begin with, and end up with nonsense character changes, pop culture references and current year 'humour"...
I don't know if anyone has ever heard of Barotrauma, but I just got into it with my friends recently and immediately thought about recreating the Ulysses in it, because BT has a sub editor where you can design and wire up your own custom submarines. I've spent more of my playtime in the editor than actually playing the game lol. It also has steam workshop support so people can share their sub designs. Someone has already made their own version of the ulysses, and it looks great, they did a good job with the command sphere in the front, and it even has a smaller shuttle like one of the mini-subs that can dock with it. This workshop design is great, but has a few flaws. I want to make my own version! Also the game has a fairly complex electrical system, and has basic components for learning simple logic gates. It's very fun.
Most of my game time has been with the bois in that Ulysses from the workshop. It's not perfect but it's been pretty solid. I'd like to get into making designs in it (as with several games), but I just don't have the time or energy to invest. I've instead been making a fairly detailed model of the Ulysses to print and hand finish into a half meter long desk model with lighting.
Man thats an old man having billions and billions of dollars every day of founding, constructing, and paying all the military and crew to find the biggest lost city of Atlantis, i have 25 and i still love this movie, im very honest with everyone, i still loving this movie of my old kid age.
That is what I was questioning myself back then. It could be a huge destroyer, cruiser or maybe a new class of ship "sub carriers" but who knows it's pretty damn big
Rourke:"See you got that journal. Nice pictures.... Milo: *nods* 😁 Rourke:"...but, I prefer good Western myself!" Milo:😠 *in mind* "What the hell did you just say???" XD
this has got to be one of my top favourite disney movies. i do think it would've done better if they made it episodic rather than a full-length movie tho.

This submarine is massive by human standards but the leviathan absolutely dwarfed it, the fact the Atlantians had 100s of them is insane.

Two: there's just not enough to explore down in the ocean to warrant big commercial submarines. All we use are military submarines or small submersibles attached to larger ships. It's just more cost efficientm
@@HelghastStalker nor the need. The deepest diving nuclear subs were made by the Soviets, stuff like the Alfa class. And even then it was more so for a flex or for strategic purposes
@@HelghastStalker Soviet and then Russian military R&D has always been capable of pulling off crazy shit even on tight budgets and with technological constraints. It's just a shame that their military is corrupt from top to bottom as Ukraine has shown and all the funding that goes into it ends up dissapearing into some general's pocket
You're probably not gonna believe this, but I actually have a dream about this submarine being a real life U.S. Navy warship. The ship, the subpods, the aqua evacs. + A few modifications. Like a few missile silos. Your could say it's a guided missile submarine.
@@HelghastStalker a fairly good point, sir. But it's still a dream. It's one of my favorite Disney vehicles ever.
It's crazy to think how small those people are compared to the Ulysses. But then when you see the size difference from the sub to the Leviathan. It's terrifying.
Well, it is a "Leviathan". Anything with the words Leviathan or Behemoth in it's name is gonna be pretty damn big.
and that is how in 3:08 min a whole generation of engineers and enthusiasts of military were born
2:20 is literally me when I launch and drive the Cyclops in Subnautica!
1:06 Vinny at his sassiest.🤭
2:07 Milo being my sister going off to basic training.
Also, this soundtrack should've gotten an award.
Fun Fact: Michael J Fox actually improvised the line about the carrots after Milo pukes, due to actually being allergic to carrots himself! Mind. Blown.
it's a bit of a reoccurring joke

_To whoever took the L from the motorpool sign, haha we are all very amused_
This movie has some of the most satisfying sound effects ever IMO. Especially that clunk the hooks made when Ulysses was released.
You gotta understand how huge and strong those giant hooks was too hold and support the submarine when they was loading it 💯😮💨
Knowing also that they built a real life miniature of the sub for reference further adds to the coolness of the scene in my opinion.
And actually, that also now explains why the descent scene is done in such a way that a live action miniature shot would be done.
Maybe even having a miniature is what gave them the idea to do it like that.
looking back at this now I like how Vinny's expression when meeting Milo for the first time goes consecutively from contempt, to subtle irritation, to semi-sarcastic enthusiasm until finally parting with what might be a joke.
at first he's not happy that there's a 'lost greenhorn' heading into the sub. He's further annoyed at Milo's reaction to picking up one of his dynamite sticks like he thinks he's about to get judged for it, but it slowly changes to enthusiasm when Milo, rather than staying scared just politely asks what else Vinny's carrying.
Vinny found his boom after all, it's what he do for this film and he can appreciate someone being more curious than scared.
"Looks like all our chances for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch. You and that little book.”
"Beans, bacon, whiskey and lard". I think this is my dad's favorite quote from an animated film.
I miss old Walt Disney Pictures
People were still high on the musicals of the 90s. Films like Atlantis, Treasure Planet, and Lilo and Stitch dont get the love they should
"To whoever took the 'L' from the 'motor pool' sign haha, we are all very amused." 'm dead 😂🤣💀
they didn't need to make that bridge bubble transparent, letting us see Milo and all the rest of the crew working and walking around inside. but they did. and i love them for it.
Seeing this in theater was one of my best childhood memories. Sadly there only about 10 people in the room with me and my dad. Such a shame that this was killed by critics for not being a "traditional" Disney movie. This movie had so much potential, they were even making a TV series about discovering how much Atlantis influenced the world after it vanished. The episodes that were complete were combined together into a sequel movie to make some quick cash.
2:28 now that's how you start an expedition!!!
Why did Whitmore cross his fingers, though?
I really wish this sub had more screen time, on the VHS box it took up half the cover.
2:30 CHILLS! Anyone else?
Brainpop14 I remember seeing it in theaters a few years ago.
My GOOSEBUMPS had goosebumps.
It was that awesome.
@@TYPE_Xenofanatic5767 it'll be more chilling when they remake that scene in the reboot version
0:54 Kind of funny knowing that none of the guys Milo’s standing next to in this scene survived until the end of the movie
This must be made live action. It would be a gold mine.
pls no
Yeah, how about no. We dont need any more garbage remakes
@@davidblass3767 yeah that comment aged poorly lol
@@cgmason7568 how? We STILL don't need any more garbage remakes... But it is all we are getting.
Leave the good classics alone, they are perfectly fine and timeless.
Remakes water down what made then special to begin with, and end up with nonsense character changes, pop culture references and current year 'humour"...
@@Beuwen_The_Dragon it aged poorly because of the crap Disney live action remakes
ha 15 years later and it's still hilarious how cookie says lettuce.
(Cowboy accent) LETTUCE? UGH, LETTUCE?
"hey junior, if you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there" me when I see a kid on PVKII
Milo: Excuse me? Excuse me? Y-you've dropped your dy-dy-dy-dynamite.
What else you, uh, got in there?
@ "oh eh gunpowder,nitroglycerin,notepads,fuses,wigs, glue, and, paperclips big ones, you know, just eh,office supplies."
Truly underrated this movie
Never realized Helda jumped from off screen like the badass villain she was
"Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow... Who wrote this?"
The most badass sub ever!!!
I love this 2d/3d mix aesthetic. Shame we don't see it much anymore.
(Holds up 3 fingers) I got your 4 basic food groups! Beans, Bacon, Whiskey and Lard!
Pffffft I could survive off the latter three alone, who needs beans?? they're just taking up room from the precious bacon
I don't know if anyone has ever heard of Barotrauma, but I just got into it with my friends recently and immediately thought about recreating the Ulysses in it, because BT has a sub editor where you can design and wire up your own custom submarines. I've spent more of my playtime in the editor than actually playing the game lol.
It also has steam workshop support so people can share their sub designs. Someone has already made their own version of the ulysses, and it looks great, they did a good job with the command sphere in the front, and it even has a smaller shuttle like one of the mini-subs that can dock with it.
This workshop design is great, but has a few flaws. I want to make my own version!
Also the game has a fairly complex electrical system, and has basic components for learning simple logic gates. It's very fun.
Most of my game time has been with the bois in that Ulysses from the workshop. It's not perfect but it's been pretty solid. I'd like to get into making designs in it (as with several games), but I just don't have the time or energy to invest. I've instead been making a fairly detailed model of the Ulysses to print and hand finish into a half meter long desk model with lighting.
Do tell when completed.
My absolute favorite scene from this movie. Thanks for the upload
You're welcome. Hope you had enjoyed it.
I did
Kingrex16 Nice. It's my favorite scene. I don't know why people don't like this movie.
too many death?
OMG same. Amazing and most unique design of the sub and the music that came with it was all so breathtakingly perfect!
The greatest Disney animated movie of all time.
2:26-2:28 😎 submarine 2:31-2:42, 2:46-2:51 that’s my favorite music 🎶 from Atlantis: the lost empire.
"To whomever took the L from Motorpool sign, HA HA we are all very amused."
Why, oh WHY do I feel that was Mole's doing?
It's crazy how Atlantis is such a great movie for all ages. It's even crazier that as a kid you don't realize just how many people end up dying in it.
Vastly underrated Music score!
think we need a live action reboot of this...
we got Avatar(2009)
+Genar0 92 oh damn! so true but i'd like to see that kickass steampunk submarine live action :)
no good CGIs to explode a submarine today xp
Maybe we can ask Miller, the director for Mad Max Fury Road. Practical effects up the whazoo!
Michael Bay :P
"This will be enriching for all of us" Darn forshadowing.
"This should be enriching for all of us"
2:31-3:08 easily my favorite shot in the whole movie. The music and the animation just make it really great.
My favorite line in the entire movie "I got your 4 basic food groups. Beans, Bacon, Whiskey, and Lard"
dude that sub is like the best part of the movie
my fav submarine from all time!!!
thanks for the upload
This is SUCH A COOL MOVIE!!!!
The sound design of the submarine launch is actually awesome.
Jeez they were subtle with Rourke
Man, 1910 times were weird
If You mean, "webuildgiantsteamsubmarinestofindAtlantisthroughprivateinvestment" weird, than, that's not the real 1910s, that's just sci-fi.
You should see 2020s.
More like the steampunk era
man 1910 times were scaaaaaary
Man, 1890's were even crazier. Martian machines destroying everything, everywhere
its so sad because in the next scene the sub is destroyed
George Barbosa RIP Ulysses
so underrated.
Spoi-!.. oh, wait, I've already watched it.. ^.-.^
Top 10 Saddest Anime Deaths
Beans, bacon, whisky and lard all sound pretty good right now actually
I am a 22 year old adult and this is the most badass ship launch I have ever witnessed in film
Vinnie is definitely my favorite character in the film.
This elevator coming down and seeing the submarine the first time is the most epic movie scene.... ever
Man thats an old man having billions and billions of dollars every day of founding, constructing, and paying all the military and crew to find the biggest lost city of Atlantis, i have 25 and i still love this movie, im very honest with everyone, i still loving this movie of my old kid age.
2:08 Bye, Mr. Whitmore
Make us Proud Boy
This sub is awesome. Shame that it didnt survive for a long time...
And if this a spoiler for you YOU HAD 15 YEARS NOBODY FEELS BAD FOR YOU.
Thank you at least someone appreciates the movie as much as i do
Even though it’s never mentioned in the film, that submarine actually had a name.
The Ulysses.
Too bad it was blown up by Robo-Lobster Laser
Hardest elevator music ever
So underrated like so many of us believe.
Disney can even make lettuce funny!
The music is bad ass and by one of my favorite movie composers of all time- James Newton Howard!
Never mind the sub, how big was the ship carrying it?!
That is what I was questioning myself back then. It could be a huge destroyer, cruiser or maybe a new class of ship "sub carriers" but who knows it's pretty damn big
I loved that movie when I was a kid and still do
The day this becomes live action will be dope af
live action is garbage
Rourke:"See you got that journal. Nice pictures....
Milo: *nods* 😁
Rourke:"...but, I prefer good Western myself!"
Milo:😠 *in mind* "What the hell did you just say???"
XD
I think next to the "enriching" line, that is a subtle hint to Rourke's true character as he cares nothing about the Atlantean culture.
love this movie, it's under appreciated.
To this day, as a grown adult, I'm still waiting on a live adaptation of this legendary film. They better not FUCK it up.
Dear god please dont..
It’s modern Disney, they will fuck it up.
when mr. whitmore was crossing his fingers, i couldn't tell if he was hoping for rourke or milo to succeed.
this has got to be one of my top favourite disney movies. i do think it would've done better if they made it episodic rather than a full-length movie tho.
I'm pretty sure watching this as a little, little kid is what sparked my obsession with submarines and underwater exploration in general
