Overview
About the Film
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a 2001 American animated science fiction adventure produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise. The film follows Milo Thatch, a young linguistics expert voiced by Michael J. Fox, who joins an expedition funded by an eccentric millionaire to find the legendary lost city of Atlantis deep beneath the ocean floor.
When the crew — an ensemble of colorful specialists including a tough female mechanic, a demolitions expert, a geologist, and a cynical medic — reaches the thriving Atlantean civilization, the expedition's true, exploitative purpose is revealed, and Milo must choose between his lifelong academic dream and protecting the Atlantean people. Atlantis was Disney's most ambitious departure from their musical formula, modeled on adventure serials and Jules Verne rather than fairy tales, with no songs and an action-oriented plot influenced by anime and comic books. Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, contributed to the distinctive angular art style.
Atlantis earned $186 million worldwide on a $120 million budget, a commercial disappointment.
