Atlantis: The Lost Empire

***Atlantis: The Lost Empire*** is a 2001 animated fantasy film from Disney.

## Why it rocks

1. Its attempt to branch out into the sci-fi genre and appeal to an older audience is a pretty interesting take for an animated Disney film.
2. The animation style is pretty unique, giving the appearance of a comic book or graphic novel.
3. Milo and a lot of the side characters have charm to them, which shows in several scenes, with characters such as Vinnie, Cookie, Mrs. Packard, and Sweet giving some pretty good one-liners.
4. Kida is pretty cool, proving to be fully capable of taking on several men by herself (she actually knees one in the groin, grabs another by the head and tosses him away and pulls a knife on a third).
5. The Atlantean language is actually pretty original, and is stated to be the source of all other languages throughout the world.
6. There is actually lots of creativity done with the world of Atlantis, such as having technology centuries before every other country in the world and having crystals that can heal and keep people alive for centuries. What's especially cool is how they have vehicles based on various sea creatures.
7. The action scenes are cool to watch.
8. Amazing score composed by James Newton Howard; it is his second Disney animated film he composed after *Dinosaur*.
9. Each of the side characters gets a chance to show how useful they are, and gives the audience a dance to know them and how they got into their respective careers which led them into joining the expedition.
10. There is the rare moment where the romantic couple, Milo and Kida, only give a hug rather than kiss and/or get married. To have an animated film do something like this with romantic leads is very very rare.
11. The adultish tone is a unique touch.

### Bad qualities

1. Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke, the main antagonist, is a very underwhelming villain, although his death was pretty cool.
2. It can be clichéd at times.
