   With just one more paper remain for me tomorrow, I took the risk and liberty of starting my post exams movie time now. In my defense, it's a movie I've long lusted for and have shown a large act of self control in avoiding it till now.

   Atlantis The Lost Empire

   *** ### Plot > Milo Tatch has always wanted to go on the grand adventure and uncover the treasure that his grandfather dreamt about: The Lost City of Atlantis. On his final and most desperate try, he manages to come across his grandfather's old friend, and with his resources they find the lost city, but without Milo's help, it's going to get missing once again. *** Now I know when I said *"it's a movie I've long lusted for.."* most people would think and may had tried to guess what new movie he had left his books for. In actuality, this film is an old one that came out in 2001. It's also the first version of the City of Atlantis that I've heard and personally the best I've seen.

   Tales and legends of the past like the Lost City of Atlantis, The City of El Dorado, The Fall of Pompeii have been the inspirations for many wonderful literary and cinematic works. Yet, like I said earlier this year, I'd center my search on past cartoon's amd movies, to find a way to preserve them fornthe coming generation. Just recently I showed Rio to my nieces and they've fallen in love with the movie... Played it three times everyday for 3 days till their mother had to delete it. Now they're making everyone turn deaf with their rendition of the show's songs 😂😂😂

   This show by Disney like I said was one of the lost funny movies I remember. It didn't do quite well monetarily for Disney due to the rage at that time going towards the new Disney Princesses coming out, but I fell in love with it.

   What I Liked

   *** If you asked me this question then and now, the numbers of things I loved about this show would only increase and be in more detail. The movie was awesomeness in its entirety and everything started from the great ##### - Plot. The plot of the show was awesome. I've always been in love with myths and legends since when I was a child, and for me back then this was the first I was introduced to the legend of Atlantis.

   

   The idea of brave explorers going to look for a city underwater was quite wonderful, a lovely plot to spark the adventurous imagination of young children and seki😂.

   - World Building

   ---

   I think Disney absolutely outdid themselves with this. We get to see an entirely new world here.

   

   The pictures and buildings and vehicles, everything was so different and futuristic and straight up awesome. Atlantis was a different world, apparently hundreds of years ahead of the earth and indeed it looked that way.

   

   ---

   - Animation.

   The animation was splendidly done too. At this point it's not a joke nor a shade but an honest plea that whatever Disney was doing before, they should go back and relearn it😭

   

   It's just unbelievable how 23 years later and this show still looks as good as this, still sounds as good as this. It aged like fine wine 😭.

   

   ---

   - Characters

   One thing I loved about this movie was the uniqueness of the characters.

   Like they were all so detailed and different, from Sweet down to Mole. Everybody had their moments and with all that was going on, we got to know a little bit about them. Of course the main focus was on the protagonist, Milo, but all character's were in view and all were loved.

   

   The antagonists in the other hand were some what shunned. It was almost intentional 😂😂

   ---

   General Overview

   *** It was a lovely even after I just watched it 13 years later, my sense of awe and wonder are as strong as ever. It just goes to show that there are loads of old gems out there that have been forgotten, somewhat like the lost city of Atlantis. We just have to find them and keep them safe. I give this show an 8 out of 10.

2. ›Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) | Nattosheru Review [ENG/SPA]@nattosenpai655d

   

   Hello movie fans. Today I want to talk to you about another Disney animated movie that is also one of my favorites, with a very similar style to the previous "Tarzan" movie, combining traditional animation with CGI. For being the first time that Disney brings out an animated project in the science fiction genre, they did it very well, although what I don't agree with is the failure it had at the box office, which doesn't do it justice considering how cult this work ended up becoming nowadays. Produced directly by Walt Disney Animation Studios, this animated feature film is one of the first to move completely away from the typical fantasy films, fairy tales and musicals, which caused it to receive mixed reviews at the time of its release. The film has a great voice cast, including Michael J. Fox, Cree Summer, James Garner, Leonard Nimoy, Don Novello, among others. I invite you to stay and remember one of the best animated works that the great mouse franchise dared to release in its best days.

   SPANISH VERSION

   Hola fanáticos del cine. El día de hoy les quiero hablar acerca de otra película animada de Disney que también es de mis favoritas, con un estilo muy similar a la anterior película de “Tarzán”, combinando la animación tradicional con el CGI. Para ser la primera vez que Disney saca un proyecto animado del género de la ciencia ficción, lo hicieron muy bien, aunque en lo que no estoy de acuerdo es en el fracaso que tuvo en taquilla, cosa que no le hace justicia tomando en cuenta lo culto que terminó volviéndose esta obra actualmente. Producido directamente por Walt Disney Animation Studios, este largometraje animado es uno de los primeros que se alejan por completo de las típicas películas de fantasía, cuentos de hadas y musicales, lo que causó que recibiera críticas mixtas al momento de su estreno. La película posee un grandioso elenco de voces, entre los cuales están los de Michael J. Fox, Cree Summer, James Garner, Leonard Nimoy, Don Novello, entre otros. Te invito a que te quedes a recordar una de las mejores obras animadas que la gran franquicia del ratón se atrevió sacar en su mejor época.

   Plot

   The film opens with an incredible event that happened thousands of years before Christ, with a huge tsunami that completely wiped out an entire civilization, the great Atlantis. Or so it was to happen but for their leader, King Kashekim protected his people and his daughter, Princess Kidágakash from the enormous flood, gathering in the "Heart of Atlantis", where there is a powerful blue gem that protected the city. However, the queen is consumed by the crystal to later generate a dome-shaped sphere to cover Atlantis just when it is completely flooded, remaining at the bottom of the ocean during all this time. The millennia pass and between the years 1910 a cartographer and linguist named Milo Thatch presents his project concerning Atlantis to the Council of the Smithsonian Institution Museum in Washington D.C.

   The board rejects Milo's proposal to fund an expedition to search for the "Shepherd's Journal", which is an ancient manuscript containing all the information needed to reach Atlantis, the lost empire. While our protagonist is marginalized, a mysterious woman takes him to an eccentric millionaire named Preston B. Whitmore, who in the past was a great friend of his grandfather, Thadeus Thatch. He gives her the famous diary, after financing an expedition to find it and thus return the great favor his friend asked of him before he passed away. Now, his grandson, Milo Thatch with his great knowledge in cartography and linguistics, along with the information on how to get to Atlantis, will be part of another great expedition that Whitmore will finance to visit the lost empire along with a great team of experts.

   Trama

   La película inicia con un increíble acontecimiento que sucedió miles de años antes de Cristo, con un enorme tsunami que arrasó por completo con toda una civilización, la gran Atlántida. O eso iba a suceder sino fuera porque su líder, el Rey Kashekim protegió a su pueblo y a su hija, la princesa Kidágakash de la enorme inundación, reuniéndose en el “Corazón de Atlantis”, donde hay una poderosa gema azul que protegió a la ciudad. Sin embargo, la reina es consumida por el cristal para posteriormente generar una esfera en forma de cúpula y así cubrir a Atlantis justo cuando este es inundado por completo, quedando en el fondo del océano durante todo este tiempo. Los milenios pasan y entre los años 1910 un cartógrafo y lingüista llamado Milo Thatch presenta su proyecto referente a Atlantis ante el Consejo del Museo del Instituto de Smithsonian de Washington D.C.

   El consejo rechaza la propuesta de Milo de financiar una expedición para buscar el “Diario del Pastor”, el cual es un antiguo manuscrito que contiene toda la información que se necesita para llegar a Atlantis, el imperio perdido. Mientras nuestro protagonista es marginado, una misteriosa mujer lo lleva ante un millonario excéntrico llamado Preston B. Whitmore, quien en el pasado era un gran amigo de su abuelo, Thadeus Thatch. Él le entrega el famoso diario, luego de financiar una expedición para buscarlo y así devolverle el gran favor que su amigo le pidió antes de fallecer. Ahora, su nieto, Milo Thatch con su gran conocimiento en cartografía y en lingüística, junto con la información de cómo llegar a Atlántida, será parte de otra gran expedición que financiará Whitmore para visitar el imperio perdido junto con un gran equipo de expertos.

   

   Tráiler & Review

   Below, I will leave you the trailer of the movie:

   

   This is one of those movies that make you think about how great Disney was at the time when they dared to bring out projects that were far away from the usual fairy and fantasy stories and created incredible stories with a level and style that are incomparable. This film deserves to be remembered as a cult film because of the impact it had on an entire generation, in addition to bringing to the animated screen one of the most popular and iconic stories in the industry, written by the great Jules Verne. Beyond being a simple story with a beautiful soundtrack and funny characters, this film is one of the best you can find in the genre of science fiction and adventure together. A work that brings the best of traditional animation together with the best of CGI and cinema of the time. I can't remember the absurd amount of times I've seen this movie since I was a kid, the way it fills you with emotion and makes you want to watch it from start to finish is something that is very difficult to achieve in many movies nowadays.

   SPANISH VERSION

   Esta es una de esas películas que te hacen pensar en lo grandiosa que era Disney en aquella época cuando se atrevía a sacar proyectos que se alejaban por completo de la temática de las historias de hadas y fantasía de siempre y creaban historias increíbles con un nivel y un estilo que son incomparables. Esta cinta merece ser recordada como una película de culto por lo mucho que impactó en toda una generación, además de traer a la pantalla animada una de las historias más populares e icónicas de la industria, escrita por el gran Julio Verne. Más allá de ser una simple historia con una banda sonora hermosa y con personajes graciosos, esta cinta es de lo mejor que te puedes encontrar en el género de la ciencia ficción y la aventura juntos. Una obra que trae lo mejor de la animación tradicional junto con lo mejor del CGI y del cine de aquel entonces. No recuerdo la cantidad absurda de veces que he visto esta película desde que era un niño, la forma en la que te llena de emoción y de ganas de verla de inicio a fin es algo que muy difícil pueden conseguir muchas películas en la actualidad.

   Let's start talking about the story, which was inspired by the tales of Jules Verne, which shows us for the first time in this century the great city of Atlantis. The first few minutes of the film are enough to make you stay until the end, with an impressive demonstration of power and greatness, an advanced civilization that possesses incalculable power and that by fate was banished from the world, sinking and remaining at the bottom of the ocean for millennia. This story is full of drama, love and nostalgia to know what in the past was one of the oldest and most advanced human civilizations in history. The secret of eternal life, power, the future of humanity, all this is mentioned in this story full of action and adventure. With characters with whom we can easily identify, Milo Thatch, the protagonist, being one of them.

   Milo is one of those protagonists who do not stand out for being strong, famous or very good looking. His intelligence is everything but his reputation and popularity is not the best, being a mockery for the world of science of his time. However, his dreamer's spirit and his research concerning Atlantis takes him far away, getting to know the great lost empire. Along with this, Milo meets Kida, who we could say is the closest thing to a "Disney Princess", being the daughter of the King of Atlantis. This title makes her carry a destiny, a legacy that, like her mother, she has to fulfill, giving her life to protect her people. However, this is not what she wants, since her dream is to know what exists in the outside world, which attracted her to Milo, who comes from that unknown world. But their meeting will not be entirely fortuitous, which makes this movie a roller coaster of emotions. The perfect blend of love, adventure, humor and drama in this film is fantastic.

   SPANISH VERSION

   Empecemos hablando de la historia, la cual fue inspirada por los cuentos de Julio Verne, a su vez que nos muestra por primera vez en este siglo la grandiosa ciudad de Atlántida. Los primeros minutos de la película son suficientes para que te quedes hasta el final, con una demostración impresionante de poder y grandeza, una civilización avanzada que posee un poder incalculable y que por obras del destino fue desterrado del mundo, hundiéndose y quedando en el fondo del océano por milenios. Está historia está repleta de drama, amor y nostalgia al conocer lo que en un pasado fue una de las civilizaciones humanas más antiguas y avanzadas de la historia. El secreto de la vida eterna, el poder, el futuro de la humanidad, todo esto se menciona en esta historia repleta de acción y aventura. Con personajes con los que fácilmente nos podemos identificar, siendo Milo Thatch, el protagonista, uno de ellos.

   Milo es de esos protagonistas que no se destacan por ser fuertes, famosos ni de muy buen aspecto. Su inteligencia lo es todo pero su reputación y popularidad no es de lo mejor, siendo una burla para el mundo de la ciencia de su época. Sin embargo, su espíritu de soñador y su investigación referente a Atlántida lo lleva lejos, conociendo el gran imperio perdido. Junto con ello, Milo conoce a Kida, quien podríamos decir que es lo más cercano a una “Princesa de Disney”, al ser esta la hija del Rey de Atlántida. Este título la hace cargar con un destino, un legado que, al igual que su madre, ella tiene que cumplir, entregando su vida para proteger a su pueblo. Sin embargo, esto no es lo que ella quiere, ya que su sueño es conocer lo que existe en el mundo exterior, lo cual la atrajo ante Milo, quien viene de dicho mundo desconocido. Pero su encuentro no será del todo fortuito, lo cual hace de esta película una montaña rusa de emociones. La mezcla perfecta de amor, aventura, humor y drama en esta película es fantástica.

   The technical work of this film is impressive, being one of the best animated works I have seen in its time, which has the artistic collaboration of the great Mike Mignola (creator of the Hellboy comic book) along with a great computer animation studio, or CGI. The mixture of this with such a fluid and impeccable artistic style made it receive multiple accolades at the time. Even now it remains one of the best animated works Disney owns in the science fiction genre. Its soundtrack, on the other hand, is worthy of being praised and remembered by all due to the great work done by James Newton Howard. All in all, a very well made animated film, with a beautiful story full of action, adventure, drama and comedy; besides having characters of all kinds that you can easily love or hate for a lifetime. A way of painting the great world of Atlantis with a way of seeing the world and today's society, leaving us clear messages and an admiration that deserves this audiovisual wonder that I recommend to see, if you haven't done it yet (and if you have already seen it, then I invite you to see it again).

   Personally, I give it a 9.5/10 rating for the genre of science fiction, action, adventure and comedy.

   SPANISH VERSION

   El trabajo a nivel técnico que tiene esta película es impresionante, siendo de las mejores obras animadas que he visto en su época, lo cual cuenta con la colaboración artística del gran Mike Mignola (creador del cómic de Hellboy) junto con un gran estudio de animación a computadora, o CGI. La mezcla de esto con un estilo artístico tan fluido e impecable hizo que recibiera múltiples elogios en su época. Aún ahora sigue siendo una de las mejores obras animadas que Disney posee del género de la ciencia ficción. Su banda sonora, por otro lado, es digna de ser alabada y recordada por todos debido al gran trabajo que realizó James Newton Howard. En fin, una película animada muy bien hecha, con una hermosa historia repleta de acción, aventura, drama y comedia; además de tener personajes de todo tipo que fácilmente puedes amar u odiar por toda la vida. Una forma de pintar el grandioso mundo de Atlantis con una forma de ver el mundo y la sociedad actual, dejándonos mensajes bien claros y una admiración que merece bastante esta maravilla audiovisual que recomiendo ver, si aún no lo has hecho (y si la viste ya, entonces te invito a que lo vuelvas a ver).

   Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 9.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de la ciencia ficción, la acción, la aventura y la comedia.

3. ›Atlantis The Lost Empire (2001) review@mediaguy3023d

   I might have seen this movie or at least part of it when it came out because I had faint memories of it. It was a pretty cool action adventure movie. It is a little boy's dream where crazy machines meet massive fantastical landscapes. It is better than a lot of other action adventure movies and this is animation, and is even a good movie for adults. It stars Michael J Fox as the lead.
