What's with some commenters complaining about comparing Atlantis to Miyazaki? Ebert was saying that Atlantis shows INFLUENCE of Miyazaki, not on par with it. Big difference. And before you jump on and say you don't see Miyazaki influence on Atlantis, Ebert and Roeper also note that it looks like a moving comic strip as well.
The comic comparison is apt since the creator of Hellboy, Mike Mignola, was the production designer. Also I like how Ebert makes one of his offhand comments about anime and the fabric of reality starts to tear itself apart.
I agree, I work at a theater have for years and one thing I know for sure, if we play terrible movies it's standing room only, if a good movie comes out crickets.
I’m so glad Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, and I liked this film. I’m honestly would have been curious to see what Ebert especially would have also thought of say Zootopia and Moana, had he been still alive to see those movies.
Bloody hell, this was the second movie I ever watched in cinemas as well, with Toy Story 2 being the first, and I still hold a special place in my heart for both those films and as such I fully agree with Ebert and Roeper about the film about this film
I thought Atlantis was a good movie as well. It's one of those Disney movies that doesn't get recognized by Disney and other people lol. I don't think it has those qualities that will hold kids' attention, but I thought it had a good message.
i think he didn't fall in love with kida but insteaad found a friend and in doing so, he fell in love, eventually, but not in the timeline of this movie
Same for me, it's also my 2th favourite movie of all time. And I hope Disney will re-release this one in 3D. Because like Roger said. The visual are freaking beautifull.
I remember watchin this movie with my cousin and my aunt when I was 10....very underrated disney animated film....good break from the typical "sing song" movies which Disney is known to doing. Come on film makers you dont need to add pointless songs to get our attention...just grab kids attention with visuals, humor and interesting characters and thrilling action scenes...and a decent story. I give Atlantis 3/4 stars...its a solid adventure movie.
A little sad trivia. Disney planned to make animated series based of this one, like they did with aladdin and tarzan. but because of it's lack-luster boxoffice reception it just didn't happen. That direct to vido sequal was made up of some of the episodes ideas. i find this sad case of reality ensuing just another example of how you can drop an ax on good potential storytelling. it also explains why it appers so little in other disney media and why kida not marcated as a disney princess...
this was my first Disney film that i watched on theaters and at the time, i thought it was epic, but now, with a different perspective, is not a good movie but neither a bad one
@@decimatorentertainmentstud8523 Allyce Beasley: Up next: He's cute, fuzzy, and he loves honey. He's Pooh in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Right here, inside Playhouse Disney.
Rourke was more entertaining. He also got more chances to show his skills as a leader. Warge didn't really do much outside of tell people where to point their guns, sadly. Still liked him, though.
Atlantis was a weak entry. I like the color palette, but the character designs are boringly generic and it doesn't have the scope or weight of a Miyazaki film.
Geez why'd Ebert compare this to Miyazaki?! God, not even CLOSE. I thought the animation was sub-par for Disney. Good, but sub-par. And come ON, the Atlanteans couldn't fuckin figure out how to work those hovercrafts?! Oooh, the secret is to keep your hand ON the pad while you turn the key!!! Gee that's complicated. Wow. Kinda insulting to that race of (dark-skinned) people. I did think the overall design was cool though and Kida is the prettiest Disney princess.
That was for one of the vehicles. The one Milo used at the end had a different activation sequence: half-turn right, quarter-turn back, keep your hand on the pad. And the moral of the story is, "Always read the instructions."
Sorry, I didn't like it. Not because it's not a musical, I do like the animation, the characters and the action/adventure story. What lost it for me was the dreaded "greedy badguy." The last third, sadly like most films animated or not, has cliche written all over it. -_-
I like it but I'm with you - the setup was great but it fell apart at the last third, I mean the people of Atlantis had been down there thousands of years and couldn't figure out those flying machines, then a character who's been there a couple of days comes along and figures it out straight away? It wasn't even complicated - It made the Atlantians look like morons
+KaydeyRai Ignoring several things: 1. Atlanteans were more focused on survival than operating some machine. 2. The King could have outlawed teaching the written language. 3. He also could have outlawed using the machines. After all, look at what happened in the opening, to which he takes full responsibility for.
Defnitely one of Disney's more underrated films, alont with Treasure Planet.
You got that right, bro.
I am glad they gave this movie Two Thumbs Up and this movie is my treasure

I want this in Kingdom Hearts. The Leviathan would make an epic boss!

For me, the last great Disney animation, it's a shame that failed in theaters.
You must be joking!
I agree, I work at a theater have for years and one thing I know for sure, if we play terrible movies it's standing room only, if a good movie comes out crickets.
Lucas Diego seriously? Last great Disney movie? We still have amazing Disney movies today. You must be high or something.
Pearl Harbor was last good Michael Bay movie.
Lilo and Stitch was the very next movie mate.
I’m so glad Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, and I liked this film. I’m honestly would have been curious to see what Ebert especially would have also thought of say Zootopia and Moana, had he been still alive to see those movies.
This is possibly the number one of my favorite movies EVER
Ebert is right. It is just like an Anamay film!
Bloody hell, this was the second movie I ever watched in cinemas as well, with Toy Story 2 being the first, and I still hold a special place in my heart for both those films and as such I fully agree with Ebert and Roeper about the film about this film
Atlantis was an awesome movie! One of my favorite Disney Movies!
I love this movie because it's nothing like I'd seen by Disney before :3
Ebert and Roper were on the right side of history on this one
Honestly this is the best Disney movie
I thought Atlantis was a good movie as well. It's one of those Disney movies that doesn't get recognized by Disney and other people lol. I don't think it has those qualities that will hold kids' attention, but I thought it had a good message.
+Samus Aran Actually, in my experience, kids loved Atlantis.
Samus Aran I will tell you guys right now if we show this to kids these day they will love it
It was shot in Cinemascope which makes it look even better.
Thumbs up if this is your favorite movie too!
WHY DID THIS MOVIE DID SO GOD BADLY???!!!!
Because of shrek and Laura croft
And monsters inc
GabbaGimbo I’m blaming DreamWorks.
And Jurassic park 3 and Harry Potter
2001 was a great year for films, thats why
i think he didn't fall in love with kida but insteaad found a friend and in doing so, he fell in love, eventually, but not in the timeline of this movie

This is my favorite Disney movie
One of my favorite movies Disney ever made!
I remember seeing this movie in the theater, sadly, the theater i saw it at is now boarded-up and closed down.
MINE TO! Love this movie:)
Ebert's right about this being close to "anna-may".
Atlantis = Bootleg Nadia
I love this film so much! A good sequel aswell
this one and rescuers down under for its visuals
I must admit after seeing seeing Doug Walker talk this movie, I really want to see it now. Plus Michael J. Fox is in it, so that's a plus.
Alex Decourville so what's you think now that you've finally seen it ?!!😊
He also talked about Pearl Harbor.
I should see it then. Never saw that one.
1:54 can someone explain to me what the hell happens to Eberts face?
Connection issues...
He went super sayan after he talked about anime
Fun movie
Yes, I hope that his movie and Treasure Planet are both re-released in 3D as well.
Matthew Cline They need to re-release Pearl Harbor and Bad Boys 2 in 3D.
I hope all four
this was my first Disney film that i watched on theaters and at the time, i thought it was epic, but now, with a different perspective, is not a good movie but neither a bad one
I liked the scenes inside Atlantis best
Amazing movie. Best part? No singing.
Jonathan Silva best part also more people dying
That's what i thought too.
@@JohnathonBarker Me, 3
@KaydeyRai Heck, I barely saw most of it, and I still love it :D
im suprised at this as well. I think you have to sing to be a friggin princess
That and Treasure Planet
Jim Varney's (Ernest, Slinky Dog, and Cookie) last movie
I loved Cookie. Him AND his four basic food groups.
This movie has quotes for days thanks to him.
@@1krani Do you remember Hey Vern, It's Ernest?
A forgotten Disney gem
Speaking of Disney, do you remember The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh?
@@EddieKyteABCDEFG12345678910 that's a show I haven't seen in years

@@EddieKyteABCDEFG12345678910 So many good memories
@@decimatorentertainmentstud8523 And do you remember Out of the Box?
Atlantis is underated, I thought it was very good
I Wonder Where Roger Ebert during 9/11?.
How come Kida isn't one of the Disney princesses? She's a frigging princess and her dad is Leonard Nimoy, how awesome is that!!???
and at 1:53 ebert becomes a zombie
This is basically Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water.
Excuse me, it's a science fantasy thrill ride.
I know right. I get so tired of movies with singing!
2:31
Yes I see the face
BODALLA
It’s just the picture quality.
Miyazaki? More like Nadia, am I right?
1:54 WHAT THE FUCK?!
I saw Atlantis but I didnt watch
Good animation, but the story I found somewhat forgettable, and I didn't really care for the turning point when the crew turns against Fox.
Well, they DID all say previously that they were just in it for the money.
It was okay not my fav. Perhaps it's because I hated Milo, why does it have to be always the girl needing to be saved.
The whole civilization needed saving. Kida said it herself.
Ohhhh poor dude....he said genre....anime, animation its not a genre its a medium.
It’s a genre
doesn't this movie and Avatar have the same villians
Rourke was more entertaining. He also got more chances to show his skills as a leader.
Warge didn't really do much outside of tell people where to point their guns, sadly. Still liked him, though.
Atlantis was a weak entry. I like the color palette, but the character designs are boringly generic and it doesn't have the scope or weight of a Miyazaki film.
Saving an entire civilization from both itself AND foreign plunderers isn't the same scope as a Miyazaki film?
Geez why'd Ebert compare this to Miyazaki?! God, not even CLOSE. I thought the animation was sub-par for Disney. Good, but sub-par. And come ON, the Atlanteans couldn't fuckin figure out how to work those hovercrafts?! Oooh, the secret is to keep your hand ON the pad while you turn the key!!! Gee that's complicated. Wow.

Altantis is a total Stargate ripoff....
Is it really a ripoff when the ripoff does it better?
Sorry, I didn't like it. Not because it's not a musical, I do like the animation, the characters and the action/adventure story. What lost it for me was the dreaded "greedy badguy." The last third, sadly like most films animated or not, has cliche written all over it. -_-
