This movie was fun. A solid animated adventure movie, which Disney does not have many of. Milo J. Thatch is a smart guy and does a good job protecting the lost city of Atlantis. Princess Kida is a strong woman and great leader of her people. The six-person crew of Cookie, Moliere, Packard, Ramirez, Santorini, and Sweet all chip in to help the mission succeed. Commander Rourke and Sinclair aren’t necessarily bad people, but their intentions for Atlantis are not in the best interests of the city. No music in this movie.

I remember looking at the movie poster (with a friend) when this movie came out and trying to predict the entire plot of the movie just based on the look of the characters. I think we were about 95% correct on everything. It should be just as easy to predict this movie’s fate in the bracket ... but Michael J. Fox (I mean Milo J. Thatch) has surprised us all before.
