Hey Mary for other movies u probably don't know that's really good stardust it's a really good enjoyable kinda hidden in plain sight kinda movie check it out
This movie was unacceptably ignored when it was first released, it’s awesome. Probably one of my favorites growing up. Princess Kida is also my favorite Disney Princess that doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
She's not only a princess! She's the TRUE first Disney QUEEN and she's so underrated! It sucks that she didn't enter the official Disney Princess lineup.
no animal companion so she wouldn't be considered a "Disney Princess" even if they didn't bury the movie out of spite*. *it's a whole thing about the creator begging for it, Disney forcing the creator to make Hercules to be allowed to make it and the creator meme-ing the hell out of it as an F you to Disney.
The reason the artwork is so blocky is because it's the art style of Mike Mignola, who did a lot of the concept art. He's also the artist who created Hellboy, so major coincidence.
If I remember correctly, Helga had a different artist and animator from the rest of the movie, which is why she is so distinct from the test if the characters.
This is a very underrated movie. It's a fun epic Sci-fi Action Adventure film! The production crew wore shirts that said:"Atlantis, less singing, more explosions." Lol!
The cook was voiced by Jim Varney, a great character actor, this film was his last as he past away before it finished. The scene where they are saying goodbye was a different voice actor.
I've been one of the fortunate few to actually have seen it when it first came out. I named my first Jack Russell after Milo from this movie. He lived to be 15 before he had a stroke in 2016. He had a happy funny life!
fireflies or 'lightning bugs' are harmless. you can catch one in your hand. they don't bite or anything, and the lit up bits never get warm. we have tons of them here in new jersey, in summer. they're beautiful
Facts: Cookie the Cooker voiced by The Late Jim Varney aka Ernest P. Worrell and Slinky(Toy Story 1 & 2), this was his last film before his death in 2000. Another Fact: Kida is Voiced by The Queen of Cartoon Voice Acting Cree Summer(Penny from Inspector Gadget, Susie Carmichael from Rugrats, Numbah 5 from Codename: KND, Elmyra from Tiny Toon Adventures, etc.). Atlantis was her 1st Movie Debut.
I cite Lord of the Rings: "And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth." With enough time history can become legend and legends become myth. Troy used to be considered a myth until it was actually discovered. Just because we haven't found Atlantis yet doesn't automatically make it myth. It's important to have an open mind ☺️
Just because something is a myth doesn't mean it's not real. Myths are born when history becomes story and grows into legend in the telling. The thing about myths, though, is sometimes they become far more grand and impressive than the actual thing they originated from in a millenia-long game of telephone. Although, in Atlantis' case, Plato admitted his account was mostly an allegory story for how Man's inherent imperfection reflects itself in all of man's endeavors, and will ultimately be the source of the downfall of all man does. So a lot of his account is only a story... though it may have been based on or inspired by an actual place and destructive event. Essentially, Plato wrote a fictional philosophical novel that was inspired by true events, which many people have taken to be entirely true. Most historians place the actual place and event as being the destruction of the Island of Santorini, which with one volcanic explosion went from a powerful, wealthy Mycenaen trading kingdom on a large island to absolutely nobody and just about no remaining buildings on a ring of very, very small islets. The Island of Lemuria, on the other hand, may have existed and possibly could be found somewhere at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
@@GuukanKitsune It might very well be that way. I'm open to both alternatives. But do you have a source that Plato said that? A direct quote you can cite maybe? Personally I think there is a high probability that The Eye of Africa was the place of Atlantis. The measurements and surrounding environment of that "eye" match the measurements and description Plato said.
@@hornet1065 There’s not enough evidence and too many conflicting stories for it to be in Mauritania. Also the richat structure was not formed by the forces described, but a slow process of erosion of different rock layers, and were uplifted into a dome shape in the Cretaceous, far before the time of humans. Also the area was inhabited by early humans such as homo erectus, evidenced by the stone tools found there that they used. If we can find artifacts dating one million years ago there, where are the artifacts from the much more recent civilization of “Atlantis?” I believe the person you replied to has the right idea and with much more evidence than the richat structure.
There was an ancient city on an island in a river delta on the Southwest coast of Spain, just outside the "Pillars Of Hercules." A city with a reputation for metallurgy, a penchant for bulls, built in concentric rings, with a spiral as it's symbol. At the height of it's power, this city had at least three names, depending on the culture discussing it. It currently lies under nearly 200 ft of mud, in what is now a national park on the coast of Spain.
I totally agree with that quote from Lord Of The Rings and what you said about Troy just because we haven't found Atlantis yet doesn't mean it didn't exist
How the King went blind is tragic. At the beginning when his wife, Kida's mother was taken by the crystal he shielded Kida away telling her to not look and then a big flash of light happened which blinded him. So the kings last sight he remembers is his wife being taken by the crystal he had recently tried making a weapon for war.
One of my most favorite movies! The voice of the Atlantean King was Leonard Nemoy (Spock/Star Trek). The Commander was voiced by James Garner (Rockford Files)
Claudia Christian voices Helga. She is such an awesome woman. I think this character and Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5 cemented her reputation for playing absolute badasses.
Yeah Claudia Christian is an amazing actress. And it's funny because she plays a Russian in both shows. In Atlantis she's a badguy named Helga Sinclair with a the other main baddie named Commander Rourke but in Babylon 5 she's actually one of the best characters named Susan Ivanova but hilariously one of the other main characters in Babylon 5 is Commander Sinclair. So they both have commanders, they both have Sinclairs, and they both have Claudia Christian playing a badass Russian woman.
The shot where the "camera" pans around the submarine as the soundtrack swells is one of the best scenes in cinema history and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Strangely enough, you reviewed Hell-Boy yesterday. Hell-Boy creator Mike Mignola did the design work for this film. It`s My favorite Disney film. Love the fact that there are no songs just a straight-up adventure.
*Whitmore,* the grandfather's friend, is a capitalist. The captain is just a greedy bastard, not a capitalist - in fact, he was planning to sell the power source to anti-capitalists. Rise Of The Guardians is another very underrated animated film.
...no, the people he was selling it to were also capitalists. He wasn't selling it to Russia. *Edit:* More specifically, he was selling it to the Germans, who were a monarchy and very much capitalist. But just in case you thought this took place in the 30's (it doesn't, it's set in 1914), Nazi Germany was also capitalist.
@@snorpenbass4196 No, dude, Nazis are fascist, and in fascism, everything is nationalized. That's the opposite of capitalism. Not only that, imperial Germany in the early 20th century favored Corporatism, not capitalism. I suspect that you have no clue what capitalism even is.
The Iron Giant is also an underrated animated movie it's a fantastic movie and I watched it a lot as a kid and fun fact Eli Marienthal voiced Hogarth Hughes also voiced Tim Drake in Batman: The Mystery of the Batman and Dak in Batman Beyond so that's nice
Its not fuck capitalism as the moral of the story. That's a modern simpletons explanation of it. The moral of the story is that greed is a power temptation and that people you believe to be good or of professional character could always change in an instant, and that greed will always take life, never give. Kida's father is the same way, he became tempted with greed by the power of the crystals, and used that power for his own personal ambitions /desires. And for misusing that power, Atlantis was taken away from the world along with sacrificing his wife.
@@colindarcas6532 Thank you. As a child, you tend to miss the bigger picture or message of movies and shows we watched. Re-watching them now as an adult, you pick up on those things you missed.
Kida is voiced by legendary voice actor Cree Summer, original voice of Elmyra from Tiny Toons, Foxxy Love from Drawn Together and Penny from Inspector Gadget. She's a Canadian-American of mixed Black/Native ancestry. Kida's father is Leonard Nimoy aka Spock.
@@seanmalloy0528 - I wanna say Francks was also the original Dr Claw, or at least one of them; voice actors getting swapped in and out happened a lot at the time.
Altantis: the lost empire is an alongside masterpiece alongsidethe emperor's new groove, treasure planet, brother bear, toy story, mulan, Hercules, lilo and stitch, trazan, the princess and the frog, ratatouille, lion king, the list goes on and on❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@chandlermorgan708 maybe. I was just thinking about it as a movie from the same time period as this one that also happens to have an amazingly beautiful art style
At the start, the King tells Kida to look away and shield her eyes. The next time we see him, he's blind, implying that the King the blinded by the Crystal because did not look away. He wanted to look upon his wife one last time.
This, Treasure planet, Raya and the last Dragon and Dinosaur were all orchestrated by the same composer, they have such amazing soundtracks and animation, especially the movie Dinosaur for its time. I definitely recommend watching that one too, it’s so underrated and deserves so much more love!
The board members intentionally screwed him over by changing the time of his meeting, and only notifying him of the change when he was already very late for the new time for the meeting.
Ah animations best. Mixing hand drawn with CGI. This may be an earlier one, but every single movie in this era is SPECTACULAR. If I recall that final zoom out is the largest drawn animation in history. Treasure Planet and Spirit Stallion of Cimarron are my 2 favorites from this era.
I think that the first Disney movie in which they used this technique, was "Tarzan". But yeah, it really is spectacular and adds more depth (hah) to hand-drawn animation.
I remember going with my wife to see this at the theater when it first came out (think it came out on my B-day, but need to double check that). This has been among my favorite Disney movies since saw it. Great story, humor, and AMAZING cast!
To be fair a lot of art and statues and museums are also donated in the fact that they are there keep them safe from people who willingly destroyed them because it goes against their message.
This film was released the same weekend as Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbot sold out every show, the auditoriums for Atlantis were almost empty. It's a shame, because it is such a great film.
This movie is one of Disney’s greatest underrated films! So glad you enjoyed it too! Edit. Okay I have gush for a second! The characters, Jules Verne references, how unafraid to be serious it was. It’s just one of the best! Thankfully, fireflies don’t do that in real life.
Another very heartfelt movie that I know will make you cry happy tears is Homeward Bound. It also has Michael J Fox as a main character and narrator. Trust me and anyone else who has ever seen it, it’s another under appreciated Disney treasure.
It amazing that the CGI still holds up after 20 years. Usually when put 3D in 2D you can spot the rough path. Here there are none. The scene will Kida fussed with the crystal is beautiful. I still can’t tell if it’s hand drawn, CG, or both.
When Disney want us to watch something, they smother us with marketing But when they don't want us to watch something, they don't even bother to promote it
If you want a hidden gem, check out Disney's "The Black Cauldron". It was the first Disney movie to be rated PG because of how dark it is, and it has John Hurt from Alien (Kane, died from Chestburster)
Its just a shame the original vision was removed. A lot of plota just end out of nowhere and the scariness was tonned down. Enjoyable though although the flaws are sadly visible.
Fun Fact: The fish in the tank behind Whitmore and Milo in the beginning has a prehistoric fish that was believed extinct. It was later discovered to still exist sometime after this movie took place, meaning that Whitmore found and obtained an 'extinct' fish and kept it in his tank. If he made a habit of doing things like this, it would certainly explain why he was able to believe in Atlantis so easily.
"Scott Pilgrim vs the World". He dated Captain Marvel. Tricked Captain America and got beaten up by Superman (Superman Returns). Plus, the music rocks!
If you enjoyed this then I highly recommend Castle in the Sky. It even was one of the inspirations for much of this movie. Not sure if you've seen that one or not, but I think it's a fantastic film that deserves to be talked about even more.
37:42 trust me on this one, you don’t wanna know. UA-cam don’t tell her. You shouldn’t have told me, but you did and now I’m telling you, you don’t wanna know 😂
They most likely had scuba and breathing gear, but it went down with the ship before they could get it transferred to the smaller ships. They didn't expect the big ship to sink. 😁
The steampunk tech makes me think a version of it could've been invented by Whitmore in this world, although IRL, SCUBA gear wouldn't be patented until 1952. We can partially thank Jacques Cousteau for that. However, tethered hard-helmet underwater breathing apparatuses existed in 1914, so those could've been used.
@@moviemaestro800 It is often the case that people invent things "ahead of time", before everyone else, but either use it just for their own personal purposes, or the knowledge about the discovery is not widespread enough, until someone more influential takes it and patents it or mass-produces it. It was the case with many mathematical discoveries, as well as technical inventions. The majority people to this day associate Edison with the invention of light bulb, Marconi with the radio, Bell with telephone, etc., even if all these inventors had their predecessors and merely improved and commercialized other people's genius discoveries. It is often the case with mathematical discoveries that it is not the people who really made the discovery, but the people who aggregated lots of such discoveries of other people and published them in their famous books are considered as those who discovered them by the public, while the original discoverers are known only to those who study history of science, because they weren't as famous and influential as those who the majority considers the geniuses. Sometimes it might even be that a discovery gets lost in the sands of time, only to be rediscovered by someone else centuries later. This might be the case with the Crookes tube that looks suspiciously similar to what you can find embossed on the walls of a pyramid in Dendera. Could it be that ancient Egyptians knew cathode ray tubes, plasma and electricity? It is very likely, considering that what could be described as an ancient version of Leyden jars (basically electrical capacitors made of a ceramic vessel coated with metal from both sides) and galvanic cells, so they must have known electricity. You may find other similar descriptions/depictions of "modern" technologies in ancient scriptures or pictures. Now imagine that there's a giant cataclysm on Earth today, and every achievement of our modern civilization gets buried. Then, a couple thousand years later, some not-so-developed people in the future find remnants of our civilization. This might inspire them to "reinvent" some of our technologies again, and most of them will think that they are the first one who invented it all. By analogy, this might be the case with many of our current inventions. Atlantis, if it really ever existed, might have been such a civilization who already got those high-tech inventions, but got buried under the sea and all of that has been lost, and had to be reinvented by us later.
Something I just realized is that this movie has an impressive body count. "Seven hours ago, we started this expedition with 200 of the finest men and women I've ever known. We're all that's left." That's some 2000s PG right there.
Also you do know not all the things in a museum are stolen some are giving to museums or an expedition team found the artifacts and brought them back to the museum or they were donated to the museum so don't judge them yes some may have stolen stuff but not all of it is stolen
Glad you enjoyed it! I wouldn't recommend the sequel, it's from Disney's "awful sequel" era; they mashed three episodes meant for a TV series together to make something resembling a movie. It has its moments but I personally think just leaving it here is fine.
The three episodes in the "sequel", though, are pretty GOOD: There's a heavy Gargoyles vibe coming off of the series' concept of having the team investigate old legends, and the "mean" team improves their nature considerably once the plot actually gives the something to do. Yes, even Moliere comes off almost likable.
The Atlantean king’s voice artist is Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock on all pre-Abrams Star Trek properties, as well as Old Spock in the first two Abrams Trek films.
Back in the 80s of my very early childhood, I used to watch 2 star wars films. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985). It’s been so long ago, I barely remember the films, but what I do remember was one of these films actually featured the very first nightsister appearance, as they portrayed it.
I'm glad that you enjoyed this movie! It is one of my favorite Disney films! Also, I don't know if anyone told you yet, but the sequel film isn't exactly a movie. It is actually the first 3 episodes of a failed and unaired Atlantis sequel series. Since the first 3 episodes were made before it got prematurely cancelled, they didn't want them to go to waste. So, they combined the 3 episodes into a semi-coherent narrative and made a ending that they hoped would satisfy the viewer. I, personally, enjoyed it. If you liked this movie, then you should at least watch it at some point.
well considering they have destroyed any semblance of liberty or personal freedom in their country for fear of a cold should tell you something about the average aussie psyche and their irrational fears.
25:22 Yeah, but the thing is, a huge difference between the pieces in museums and what they're talking about is, with museums we have, those things were taken from civilizations that were already dead. With this, they are literally stealing from a living society (and committing genocide), which our own history in real life is sadly full of as well...
The only thing I remember about this movie was Michael J Foxs voice. I have to admit I love to hear you laugh and how your smile lights up. You are definitely a joy to watch, am very glad I discovered your channel and look forward to watching it for long time to come
Making me feel old....since I was an adult watching this movie when it came out lol I had Kida's toy too......lost it when I lost my storage 5 years ago😑
Hey Mary, another great video. If you're looking for suggestions, can I recommend Treasure Planet? It's a great movie that I think you would enjoy quite a lot
There's actually a prologue in the extended edition(which I had on VHS, but I'm sure you can find it online and on blu-ray). It tells the story of a viking expedition in their search for Atlantis, a crew of vikings accompanied by a monk(most likely their slave), with the Journal in the possession of their jarl. They encounter the Leviathan, which obliterates the ship and and its crew, leaving the Journal floating near the coast of Iceland(where it would be found by Milo's grandfather hundreds of years later)
This is one of those films that, while underrated, every time it was to air, I would record and watch it. It is a good film, maybe even a great film. Same for Treasure Planet and Titan A.E. 1:16-"Myths are not stories that are untrue; rather they are tales that don't fit neatly into the historical record, which serve as the foundation to a culture." - The opening to any Extra Mythology video from the UA-cam channel Extra Credits.
"F*ck capitalism" says Mary, who relies on capitalism to support any lifestyle she may choose to have, also "Hopefully they kept Atlantis hidden forever" uhh... you might want to watch Atlantis 2
6:20 Fun little easter egg: Those fishies in Whitmore's aquarium are a pair of Coelacanths. They are an ancient species of fish that originated in the Devonian period, around 170 million years before the dinosaurs had evolved. Throughout the Mesozoic era(the 186 million year era the dinosaurs ruled the Earth), some dinosaurs and marine reptiles even preyed upon them. Coelacanths were thought to have gone extinct alongside the dinosaurs during the KT-extinction(the meteor-strike) 65 million years ago, until they were rediscovered to still be alive in 1938 thriving in the waters between Africa and Madagascar, and off the the coast of Indonesia. They are very elusive and prefer to live deep underwater. What makes these fish so unique, aside from how long they've existed, is that they are closer related to the ancestors of modern-day tetrapods(amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) than to modern fish. And Whitmore rediscovered them in the early 1900s, long before their real-life rediscovery in 1938, highlighting his immense wealth and expeditionary career.
24:00 given how bulky and heavy diving equipment was in 1914, even if it had been brought it was probably stored on the main ship. Which means after the Leviathan attack, it was probably sunk with the submarine.
23:58 they may have had some, but it could have been destroyed in the multiple disasters that took place over their journey and/or been used as makeshift other items that they didn’t have but needed
Plato’s date for Atlantis corresponds to 9600 BC. Twenty-four hundred years later, archaeologists currently peg the end of the last Ice Age (and the flooding of any civilizations which may have existed at the depressed sea level, hundreds of feet below current sea level) at 9600 BC. Plato could not have known this, as he had no access to the ice cores on which the current estimate is based. Atlantis could therefore have been, or been based on, an actual event, but historians rate any events remembered from before the adoption of written records as legendary or even mythical. “Mythical” means less “false,” and more, “due to the lack of establishment-recognized evidence, we choose not to believe in it.”
@@Caseytify actually, based on the physical description of the city by Plato, the Richat Structure or “Eye of the Sahara” is a much better candidate for Atlantis. But yes, any civilization located in Doggerland would have been wiped out when the North European ice cap melted.

There's a Atlantis 2 just so ya know... 👍😉
if you enjoyed this, you might want to check out Disney's Treasure Planet: this is another awesome film that has sadly slipped through the cracks.
About moles story, trust me you don't wanna know
Hey Mary for other movies u probably don't know that's really good stardust it's a really good enjoyable kinda hidden in plain sight kinda movie check it out
Fun reaction M! Yeah, the nostalgic force is strong in this one, . . .
This movie probably would have been a HUGE hit if Disney had actually bothered to market it at all.
Same for Treasure Planet.
Atlantis, Treasure Planet and Titan A.E. are the Holy Trinity of underated movies
Disney knew exactly what they were doing. They're really scum.
I thought this was treasure planet not kidding, but im bout ta watch it
Agreed. They are two of the most criminally underrated films ever made. Along with Titan A.E. and The Prince of Egypt.
@@Fuzz32 to my knowledge Prince of Egypt was a huge success, so us not underrated
This movie was unacceptably ignored when it was first released, it’s awesome. Probably one of my favorites growing up.
Princess Kida is also my favorite Disney Princess that doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
She's not only a princess! She's the TRUE first Disney QUEEN and she's so underrated! It sucks that she didn't enter the official Disney Princess lineup.
If you think this movie is awesome, then watch the Stargate movie with Kurt Russell.
Wasn't completely ignored. I remember as a kid I got atlantis toys from McDonald's
It's not that Kida doesn't the recognition she deserves, she's gotten quite literally no recognition at all from Disney.
no animal companion so she wouldn't be considered a "Disney Princess" even if they didn't bury the movie out of spite*.

This movie is really underrated. Animated action adventures deserve more recognition. People are missing out!

The production crew wore shirts that said:"Atlantis, less singing, more explosions." Lol!
Atlantis, Titan AE and Treasure Planet three of the most underrated animated movies.
yep
I agree all three of those movies are my favorite movies man
With Titan AE getting the least love of the three!

Don't forget Iron Giant too
The cook was voiced by Jim Varney, a great character actor, this film was his last as he past away before it finished. The scene where they are saying goodbye was a different voice actor.
Wasn't it the same actor who replaced Varney as slinky dog as well in the latter Toy Story films?
Jim Varney was so cool. Ernest was my childhood.❤
"HEY, VERN!"
I've been one of the fortunate few to actually have seen it when it first came out. I named my first Jack Russell after Milo from this movie. He lived to be 15 before he had a stroke in 2016. He had a happy funny life!
I saw it in theaters as a kid. I even remember having a light up crystal toy from McDonald's.
I saw it with my mom when I was a kid. Such an underrated movie
Had this on vhs because I loved it so much even I went to the theater
Did anyone think you named him Milo after the Jack Russel from The Mask?
Sorry for your loss. Glad to know he had a nice life.
The reasons they didn’t bring scuba gear is because it wasn’t invented until 1943. Almost 30 years be after the story takes place.

Claudia Christian voices Helga. She is such an awesome woman. I think this character and Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5 cemented her reputation for playing absolute badasses.
Yeah Claudia Christian is an amazing actress. And it's funny because she plays a Russian in both shows.
In Atlantis she's a badguy named Helga Sinclair with a the other main baddie named Commander Rourke but in Babylon 5 she's actually one of the best characters named Susan Ivanova but hilariously one of the other main characters in Babylon 5 is Commander Sinclair. So they both have commanders, they both have Sinclairs, and they both have Claudia Christian playing a badass Russian woman.
The shot where the "camera" pans around the submarine as the soundtrack swells is one of the best scenes in cinema history and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Calm down, child.
Strangely enough, you reviewed Hell-Boy yesterday. Hell-Boy creator Mike Mignola did the design work for this film. It`s My favorite Disney film. Love the fact that there are no songs just a straight-up adventure.
*Whitmore,* the grandfather's friend, is a capitalist. The captain is just a greedy bastard, not a capitalist - in fact, he was planning to sell the power source to anti-capitalists.
Rise Of The Guardians is another very underrated animated film.
This
...no, the people he was selling it to were also capitalists. He wasn't selling it to Russia. *Edit:* More specifically, he was selling it to the Germans, who were a monarchy and very much capitalist. But just in case you thought this took place in the 30's (it doesn't, it's set in 1914), Nazi Germany was also capitalist.
@@snorpenbass4196
No, dude, Nazis are fascist, and in fascism, everything is nationalized.
That's the opposite of capitalism.
Not only that, imperial Germany in the early 20th century favored Corporatism, not capitalism.
I suspect that you have no clue what capitalism even is.
You said it far more politely than I intended to.
@@snorpenbass4196 Yet another person who equates capitalism with greed. 🧐
The Iron Giant is also an underrated animated movie it's a fantastic movie and I watched it a lot as a kid and fun fact Eli Marienthal voiced Hogarth Hughes also voiced Tim Drake in Batman: The Mystery of the Batman and Dak in Batman Beyond so that's nice
Its not fuck capitalism as the moral of the story. That's a modern simpletons explanation of it. The moral of the story is that greed is a power temptation and that people you believe to be good or of professional character could always change in an instant, and that greed will always take life, never give. Kida's father is the same way, he became tempted with greed by the power of the crystals, and used that power for his own personal ambitions /desires. And for misusing that power, Atlantis was taken away from the world along with sacrificing his wife.
👏👏👏 Finally, I am not alone in understanding this movie's true message. I applaud your reason and logic
@@colindarcas6532 Thank you. As a child, you tend to miss the bigger picture or message of movies and shows we watched. Re-watching them now as an adult, you pick up on those things you missed.
Kida is voiced by legendary voice actor Cree Summer, original voice of Elmyra from Tiny Toons, Foxxy Love from Drawn Together and Penny from Inspector Gadget. She's a Canadian-American of mixed Black/Native ancestry. Kida's father is Leonard Nimoy aka Spock.
Might want to be more specific, some might think you mean the actresses father is nemoy
@@seanmalloy0528 - duly noted and corrected. Cree's actual father IRL is veteran voice actor Don Francks.
@@radicaladz who I believe was the voice of Sabertooth in the 90's X-Men series
@@seanmalloy0528 - indeed.
@@seanmalloy0528 - I wanna say Francks was also the original Dr Claw, or at least one of them; voice actors getting swapped in and out happened a lot at the time.
Altantis: the lost empire is an alongside masterpiece alongsidethe emperor's new groove, treasure planet, brother bear, toy story, mulan, Hercules, lilo and stitch, trazan, the princess and the frog, ratatouille, lion king, the list goes on and on❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're easily impressed
Also prince of egypt
@@josefstalin9678 isn't that part of the DreamWorks movie
@@chandlermorgan708 maybe. I was just thinking about it as a movie from the same time period as this one that also happens to have an amazingly beautiful art style
@@josefstalin9678 true I'll give you that
At the start, the King tells Kida to look away and shield her eyes. The next time we see him, he's blind, implying that the King the blinded by the Crystal because did not look away. He wanted to look upon his wife one last time.
That was nostalgia. This great movie marked my childhood.
This, Treasure planet, Raya and the last Dragon and Dinosaur were all orchestrated by the same composer, they have such amazing soundtracks and animation, especially the movie Dinosaur for its time. I definitely recommend watching that one too, it’s so underrated and deserves so much more love!
James Newton Howard brings the heat, when it comes to scoring fantasy and adventure flicks.
The board members intentionally screwed him over by changing the time of his meeting, and only notifying him of the change when he was already very late for the new time for the meeting.
Ah animations best. Mixing hand drawn with CGI. This may be an earlier one, but every single movie in this era is SPECTACULAR. If I recall that final zoom out is the largest drawn animation in history.
Treasure Planet and Spirit Stallion of Cimarron are my 2 favorites from this era.
I think that the first Disney movie in which they used this technique, was "Tarzan". But yeah, it really is spectacular and adds more depth (hah) to hand-drawn animation.
I remember going with my wife to see this at the theater when it first came out (think it came out on my B-day, but need to double check that). This has been among my favorite Disney movies since saw it. Great story, humor, and AMAZING cast!
Hope you and your wife are still going strong brother👍
To be fair a lot of art and statues and museums are also donated in the fact that they are there keep them safe from people who willingly destroyed them because it goes against their message.
This film was released the same weekend as Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbot sold out every show, the auditoriums for Atlantis were almost empty.
It's a shame, because it is such a great film.
Oof, what a crappy movie too.
This movie is one of Disney’s greatest underrated films! So glad you enjoyed it too!
Edit. Okay I have gush for a second!
The characters, Jules Verne references, how unafraid to be serious it was. It’s just one of the best!
Thankfully, fireflies don’t do that in real life.
Ah, Kida. The princess that Disney forgot.
Another very heartfelt movie that I know will make you cry happy tears is Homeward Bound. It also has Michael J Fox as a main character and narrator. Trust me and anyone else who has ever seen it, it’s another under appreciated Disney treasure.
I watched that one so many times as a kid. ❤️
It amazing that the CGI still holds up after 20 years. Usually when put 3D in 2D you can spot the rough path. Here there are none. The scene will Kida fussed with the crystal is beautiful. I still can’t tell if it’s hand drawn, CG, or both.
Being stylized rather than realistic I probably a major saving grace here as that let's it age far more gracefully
Treasure planet, Tazan and Brother Bear are my top Disney movie in early 2000. They are Superunderrated.
16:10 Jim Varney voiced Cookie. He also voiced Slinkey Dog in Toy Story. This was his last movie.
When Disney want us to watch something, they smother us with marketing
But when they don't want us to watch something, they don't even bother to promote it
and turns out better than the one getting all the press
... Or maybe they didn't know how to market it?
Or it had to fight against Harry Potter at the box office...
If you want a hidden gem, check out Disney's "The Black Cauldron". It was the first Disney movie to be rated PG because of how dark it is, and it has John Hurt from Alien (Kane, died from Chestburster)
Its just a shame the original vision was removed. A lot of plota just end out of nowhere and the scariness was tonned down. Enjoyable though although the flaws are sadly visible.
Fun Fact: The fish in the tank behind Whitmore and Milo in the beginning has a prehistoric fish that was believed extinct. It was later discovered to still exist sometime after this movie took place, meaning that Whitmore found and obtained an 'extinct' fish and kept it in his tank. If he made a habit of doing things like this, it would certainly explain why he was able to believe in Atlantis so easily.
That's right. I had learned about the coelacanth before I saw this movie, so I recognized them.
"Scott Pilgrim vs the World". He dated Captain Marvel. Tricked Captain America and got beaten up by Superman (Superman Returns). Plus, the music rocks!
@7:55 Lol you didn't get the "beans" joke?
"For tonight's supper: baked beans. Musical program to follow. [Pause] _...Who wrote this."_
If you enjoyed this then I highly recommend Castle in the Sky. It even was one of the inspirations for much of this movie. Not sure if you've seen that one or not, but I think it's a fantastic film that deserves to be talked about even more.
No, Stargate was. This was pretty much the entire Stargate storyline remade into an animated movie with some differences.
The snorkel wasn't invented for another 13 years.
As someone who just moved to NYC I've met a lot of people who were born and raised here who do not know how to drive because they never needed to.
37:42 trust me on this one, you don’t wanna know. UA-cam don’t tell her. You shouldn’t have told me, but you did and now I’m telling you, you don’t wanna know 😂
9:00 Timothy Spall (Peter Pettygrew) is often included in fan castings for live-action Atlantis.
31:17 no he was just blinded when he gazed at the light from the heart as it took his wife to be their host
I absolutely respect the Breath of the Wild references. There were a lot of times playing that game that I was reminded of this film 😂
Looking back on it now, I'm almost certain BOTW was inspired at least in part by Atlantis, and some studio giblie movies
They most likely had scuba and breathing gear, but it went down with the ship before they could get it transferred to the smaller ships. They didn't expect the big ship to sink. 😁
The steampunk tech makes me think a version of it could've been invented by Whitmore in this world, although IRL, SCUBA gear wouldn't be patented until 1952. We can partially thank Jacques Cousteau for that. However, tethered hard-helmet underwater breathing apparatuses existed in 1914, so those could've been used.
@@moviemaestro800 It is often the case that people invent things "ahead of time", before everyone else, but either use it just for their own personal purposes, or the knowledge about the discovery is not widespread enough, until someone more influential takes it and patents it or mass-produces it. It was the case with many mathematical discoveries, as well as technical inventions. The majority people to this day associate Edison with the invention of light bulb, Marconi with the radio, Bell with telephone, etc., even if all these inventors had their predecessors and merely improved and commercialized other people's genius discoveries. It is often the case with mathematical discoveries that it is not the people who really made the discovery, but the people who aggregated lots of such discoveries of other people and published them in their famous books are considered as those who discovered them by the public, while the original discoverers are known only to those who study history of science, because they weren't as famous and influential as those who the majority considers the geniuses.
Sometimes it might even be that a discovery gets lost in the sands of time, only to be rediscovered by someone else centuries later. This might be the case with the Crookes tube that looks suspiciously similar to what you can find embossed on the walls of a pyramid in Dendera. Could it be that ancient Egyptians knew cathode ray tubes, plasma and electricity? It is very likely, considering that what could be described as an ancient version of Leyden jars (basically electrical capacitors made of a ceramic vessel coated with metal from both sides) and galvanic cells, so they must have known electricity. You may find other similar descriptions/depictions of "modern" technologies in ancient scriptures or pictures. Now imagine that there's a giant cataclysm on Earth today, and every achievement of our modern civilization gets buried. Then, a couple thousand years later, some not-so-developed people in the future find remnants of our civilization. This might inspire them to "reinvent" some of our technologies again, and most of them will think that they are the first one who invented it all. By analogy, this might be the case with many of our current inventions. Atlantis, if it really ever existed, might have been such a civilization who already got those high-tech inventions, but got buried under the sea and all of that has been lost, and had to be reinvented by us later.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a classic. I watched it for the first time at the beginning of 2021. It reminded me of Avatar and Stargate.
Avatar copied from this movie as well as Dances With Wolves, Pocahontas, and Ferngully. There was nothing original in Avatar except the 3D camera rig.
The cook is the Late, Great Jim Varney, known for his " Ernest" movies, He also voiced slinky the dog in Toy Story 1 and 2 before he passed.
Something I just realized is that this movie has an impressive body count.
"Seven hours ago, we started this expedition with 200 of the finest men and women I've ever known. We're all that's left."
That's some 2000s PG right there.
Also you do know not all the things in a museum are stolen some are giving to museums or an expedition team found the artifacts and brought them back to the museum or they were donated to the museum so don't judge them yes some may have stolen stuff but not all of it is stolen
Glad you enjoyed it! I wouldn't recommend the sequel, it's from Disney's "awful sequel" era; they mashed three episodes meant for a TV series together to make something resembling a movie. It has its moments but I personally think just leaving it here is fine.
The three episodes in the "sequel", though, are pretty GOOD: There's a heavy Gargoyles vibe coming off of the series' concept of having the team investigate old legends, and the "mean" team improves their nature considerably once the plot actually gives the something to do.
Yes, even Moliere comes off almost likable.
@@ericjanssen394 I think it would be good if it had been a TV show. As a movie...eh. I have mixed feelings.
YESSSSSSSS THIS IS THE BEST DISNEY MOVIE OF THE RENAISSANCE ERA
The Atlantean king’s voice artist is Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock on all pre-Abrams Star Trek properties, as well as Old Spock in the first two Abrams Trek films.
This was an amazing film and by far one of the best animated films ever made.
It was pretty good, but the best? I would say that for Disney visuals, "Sleeping Beauty" and "Fantasia" were tops.
The part were that mechanic girl closed the door on those guys while the sub is flooding still haunts me to this day.
Same.
Back in the 80s of my very early childhood, I used to watch 2 star wars films. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985). It’s been so long ago, I barely remember the films, but what I do remember was one of these films actually featured the very first nightsister appearance, as they portrayed it.
I'm glad that you enjoyed this movie! It is one of my favorite Disney films! Also, I don't know if anyone told you yet, but the sequel film isn't exactly a movie. It is actually the first 3 episodes of a failed and unaired Atlantis sequel series. Since the first 3 episodes were made before it got prematurely cancelled, they didn't want them to go to waste. So, they combined the 3 episodes into a semi-coherent narrative and made a ending that they hoped would satisfy the viewer. I, personally, enjoyed it. If you liked this movie, then you should at least watch it at some point.
Atlantis and Treasure Planet
BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THIS MOVIE IS JUST SOOO UNDERRATED!!!!!!! This is actually my favorite Disney movie
"Everything here is so damgerous". Says an Aussie. 😂
well considering they have destroyed any semblance of liberty or personal freedom in their country for fear of a cold should tell you something about the average aussie psyche and their irrational fears.
This movie is so underrated. A masterpiece in so many ways, and it has some of the best one liners in animation history.
Going to correct you on something, stealing is not capitalism, it's stealing.
Atlantis Milo's return is the sequel, and does give a little bit of background on mole. Should definitely watch it as well!!!!!
Another underrated Disney classic would be Treasure Planet. Highly recommend it.
25:22 Yeah, but the thing is, a huge difference between the pieces in museums and what they're talking about is, with museums we have, those things were taken from civilizations that were already dead. With this, they are literally stealing from a living society (and committing genocide), which our own history in real life is sadly full of as well...
A highly underrated Disney movie but one of my favorites!
The only thing I remember about this movie was Michael J Foxs voice. I have to admit I love to hear you laugh and how your smile lights up. You are definitely a joy to watch, am very glad I discovered your channel and look forward to watching it for long time to come
As a french I don’t think being see as a mole is very pretty but the Mary’s « voulez-vous coucher avec moi ?» is a pleasure to hear 😂
Making me feel old....since I was an adult watching this movie when it came out lol I had Kida's toy too......lost it when I lost my storage 5 years ago😑
“Do you think underneath Jawas masks are just hot chicks as well?” Only in Rule 34.
Hey Mary, another great video. If you're looking for suggestions, can I recommend Treasure Planet? It's a great movie that I think you would enjoy quite a lot
I like how insistent she is about the rat-comparisons for a guy literally called MOLE.
This and Treasure Planet are my two favorite Disney movies, and I’m so happy to see you experience them for the first time ❤
Mary's seen a horse fly
She's seen a dragon fly
She's seen a house fly
But she ain't never seen a fire fly!
There's actually a prologue in the extended edition(which I had on VHS, but I'm sure you can find it online and on blu-ray). It tells the story of a viking expedition in their search for Atlantis, a crew of vikings accompanied by a monk(most likely their slave), with the Journal in the possession of their jarl. They encounter the Leviathan, which obliterates the ship and and its crew, leaving the Journal floating near the coast of Iceland(where it would be found by Milo's grandfather hundreds of years later)
This is one of those films that, while underrated, every time it was to air, I would record and watch it. It is a good film, maybe even a great film. Same for Treasure Planet and Titan A.E.

Fun little easter egg:
Those fishies in Whitmore's aquarium are a pair of Coelacanths. They are an ancient species of fish that originated in the Devonian period, around 170 million years before the dinosaurs had evolved. Throughout the Mesozoic era(the 186 million year era the dinosaurs ruled the Earth), some dinosaurs and marine reptiles even preyed upon them. Coelacanths were thought to have gone extinct alongside the dinosaurs during the KT-extinction(the meteor-strike) 65 million years ago, until they were rediscovered to still be alive in 1938 thriving in the waters between Africa and Madagascar, and off the the coast of Indonesia. They are very elusive and prefer to live deep underwater.
What makes these fish so unique, aside from how long they've existed, is that they are closer related to the ancestors of modern-day tetrapods(amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) than to modern fish.
And Whitmore rediscovered them in the early 1900s, long before their real-life rediscovery in 1938, highlighting his immense wealth and expeditionary career.
Jim Varney is a godsend, you absolutely need to watch more movies with him in it. The Ernest Movies for sure!
Your reviews are always so fun. Thanks
I loved this movie as a kid. So underrated.
This is my favorite Disney animated movie.
24:00 given how bulky and heavy diving equipment was in 1914, even if it had been brought it was probably stored on the main ship. Which means after the Leviathan attack, it was probably sunk with the submarine.
Atlantis The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet
Two jewels from Disney, that deserve more recognition and don't be forgotten
Love this show! Oh, and no. Fireflys are just beutiful, luckily no real fire.

Plato’s date for Atlantis corresponds to 9600 BC. Twenty-four hundred years later, archaeologists currently peg the end of the last Ice Age (and the flooding of any civilizations which may have existed at the depressed sea level, hundreds of feet below current sea level) at 9600 BC. Plato could not have known this, as he had no access to the ice cores on which the current estimate is based. Atlantis could therefore have been, or been based on, an actual event, but historians rate any events remembered from before the adoption of written records as legendary or even mythical. “Mythical” means less “false,” and more, “due to the lack of establishment-recognized evidence, we choose not to believe in it.”
Are you referring to Doggerland?
@@Caseytify actually, based on the physical description of the city by Plato, the Richat Structure or “Eye of the Sahara” is a much better candidate for Atlantis. But yes, any civilization located in Doggerland would have been wiped out when the North European ice cap melted.
