Atlantis came out during my edgy teen phase so I have no idea how good it actually was. I was easily impressed by anything that was "mature" and slightly reminiscent of anime. At the time, though, I was quite convinced everyone was missing out.

Atlantis is probably one of the few movies I think would work better as a live action one.

Atlantis generally sucks, but the animation is at least beautiful.

The pacing is just all over the place, and one of the best setpieces of the film is blown up way too quickly. The animation and characters in general had a TON of potential, and it's a shame the end product doesn't really hold together.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Treasure Planet is better than Atlantis.  But that 5-movie run in the middle of the "Post-Renaissance" is actually pretty drat good: Emperor's, Atlantis, Lilo, Treasure, Bear These movies range from "pretty good" to "absolutely love it" for me. They're the 5 I own on blu-ray from that era and I'm happy to have them in my collection. It's a shame they're sandwiched by mediocre stuff on either side (Fantasia 2000 is okay but it's a snoozefest for me, Dinosaur is the most forgettable movie I've ever seen, Home on the Range has... a good song?, and Chicken+Robinsons are two of the worst animated movies I've ever seen)

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I found his whole schtick grating and out of place and it kind of ruined the end of the movie for me. Like the gargoyles in Hunchback.

Martin Short is a terrorist in that movie. Never has a Genie ripoff been more obvious. Also Jim Hawkins is a loving racist. Only reason he sees Long John Silver as a surrogate father is because he's a human, unlike the Kevin Kline dogman who actually raised him. And his hair sucks too!

 Dude is clearly an alien, with about the same level of human-ish features as dog man and cat lady.  In fact, he looks like he could be the same species as either the cat or dog person, maybe he's a hybrid?

Atlantis had the kind of premise, plot, and cast that would've made a killer limited TV series. But it came along before Avatar proved that serial adventure cartoons could succeed. Its short running time ruined it, but that's the compromise it probably had to make in order to exist at all.

Hedrigall posted:Atlantis is missing like a 20 minute chunk of adventures on the submarine that would have made it one of the best animated adventure films. I thought I remember hearing that is was more like, they spent the entire pre-production creating this Harryhausen style adventure movie, with episodic events before they arrive at their destination. Complete with trials among four elemental gods (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) that would have to be traversed in their submarine. Then a brand new executive had no idea what the film even was, and was upset that their "Atlantis" movie barely had Atlantis in it. So he forced them to make an 11th hour change to get them to Atlantis in Act 1, forcing them to create 2 brand new acts worth of story with the assets/designs they already had. And ironically, this wasn't Katzenberg (god, late Eisner Disney was a goddamn mess).

bakshi hates spirit: stallion of the cimarron, because the horses talk. he loves finding nemo, where the fish talk; apparently this is fine and acceptable. but he's mentioned his dislike of spirit in three separate interviews, possibly more. the horses talk, they also eat apples straight off the tree (apparently real horses don't do this) and it really bothers him. he can't accept it. he won't

Weirdly enough the straight to video sequel to Atlantis is basically built out of some episodes they made for a TV series. Kinda feels like the swan song of 2D animation was full of beautiful messes.

Atlantis is good fun, has too many characters I think. You don't really need the mole man or the grandma or Ernest. Treasure Planet kicks rear end, I love that movie to death, I will forever be sad that it bombed in theaters the harvest posted:bakshi hates spirit: stallion of the cimarron, because the horses talk. he loves finding nemo, where the fish talk; apparently this is fine and acceptable. but he's mentioned his dislike of spirit in three separate interviews, possibly more. the horses talk, they also eat apples straight off the tree (apparently real horses don't do this) and it really bothers him. he can't accept it. he won't Maybe he just hates horses, and honestly same

Pyrotoad posted:And only one narrates at that. We never hear the thoughts of anyone besides Spirit himself. Nope, that's tween girl horse adventures in a very sanitised Wild West, but no talking horses. I only watched the first few seasons, which are actually rather charming, but man was the Spirit brand just shoehorned on there. Spirit is now paling around with tweens and having cute slice of life adventures. Wait, being wild and free and not letting anyone ride him except that one time was the whole point of the movie? Actually it's his son, it's fine.

Boxman posted:So, can someone convince me that Atlantis is a hidden gem? I don't think Atlantis is a hidden gem. Maybe underappreciated? It's good movie that I found fun and entertaining, and I love the art. Kida is rarely ever acknowledged as a Disney Princess though, and that sucks since she's great. I might be biased in my appreciation for Atlantis because it gives off heavy Avatar vibes imo—the James Cameron movie, not the animated show—and I'm a Cameron fanboy that loves Avatar so

Atlantis was too early, if it came out after ATLA, it would've been an incredible mini-series instead of a too-crowded movie.
