One of the worst Disney movies on the screen, Atlantis: The Lost Empire doesn't make much sense. The plot is clear, as is the massage about greed and money, yet the deliverance and entertainment value of the film is harder to place. It may have been the subtle anti-Germany message hidden within, or maybe it was the lack of people breaking into song like Pocahontas and Frozen. However, the first Atlantis movie retains some of its charm, featuring the bumbling linguist "Milo Thatch" and his newfound friend "Kida" (Who, of course, as an Atlantean princess can speak almost every language known to mankind), learn more about the lost technology and dying culture of the city.
Auxiliary:
As is the case with Mulan, Pocahontas, and several other Disney films, Atlantis: The Lost Empire has a sequel film, Atlantis: Milo's Return. Having watched both movies, I am offering a comparison between the two here. The second movie, while trying to recapture some of the (faint) charm of the original, fails. Even if you really enjoyed the first movie, the second movie has a bit of a cheesy, "Scooby-Doo" air to it, and ultimately lacks the hint of seriousness and time period that existed in the first movie.
