"Please tell me this movie did not flop!" Sad Fact: This movie flopped due to some rather poor marketing and being released at the same time as Shrek. While a animated show was being made in case it did successful, the few episodes completed were turned into a Direct-To-DVD sequel (called "Atlantis: Milo's Return") to make up for the money lost from its box-office failure.

Because the live-action remakes are just to milk the success of the original animated version, and Atlantis and Treasure Planet are passion projects that higher ups didn't really want to happen so they under- or mis-advertised them (I think one of them was even released alongside Harry Potter) so they would intentionally not perform well at the box office. Now, because the movies didn't sell as well as the Renaissance era movies, the Disney higher ups probably have an excuse to not think live action versions of them would sell with audiences, overlooking the post-release following the movies have.

12:05 finally someone understood Milo wasn't saying Kida's over 100 years old, but 88-hundred, aka 8,800

This has been my favorite Disney movie ever since it first came out, and unfortunately it didn't do well at the box office. That's also the reason why Kida isn't an official Disney princess; there is literally a requirement for the movie to do well in order for the lead woman to be considered a Disney princess.

If this movie got re-releases that turned out to be a success or was used in success line of long term merchandise or others forms of show (video games, stage, ect) that was a success then Kida could then be open to become a Disney Princess. Alas that not likely at all. Because of the VCR and now Streaming any movies to get a movie theater re-releases is extremely rare (and even if they do it would be for movies with less risk or at least hope to earn a few bucks to pay for the re-releases costs) unlike how it was in the past before the invention of the VCR. Many Disney movies that first bombed in the theaters during the debut run might later find great success with re-releases being able to earn back the production costs and make a huge profit due to the changing of the times/cultures/economies or having been shown on TV so often due to that movie's cheapness to run for various networks to air it that after enough times it could gained a large cult following. Fantasia and Sleeping Beauty were 2 movies that bombed and lost tons of money for Disney when it first came out but later there Re-Releases made them very successful due to different reasons. Atlantis however came out when the VCR and DVDs was already invented and stopped essentially 99% of movies from getting any movie theater re-releases. DVD sales was decent and in time people began to enjoy many Disney movies from this 'experimental age' that first bombed in theaters. Streaming and these reaction videos seem to help such movies as awareness (reaction videos can be a form of marketing for those unaware of a movie's existence and offer a form of first experience) and assess to them from Streaming (people pay for one other form of content from the service but while having the service might check out some past made if recommended or learn of existence somehow). Disney's card game Lorcana has just released a set called "Enter the Inklands" which contains within Atlantis characters, items, and location so while small each introduction from other forms of media and entertainment can grant the possibly to help. However I don't think Kida will ever become a "Disney Princess". The only exception is if Disney executives and creators recognizes/see a profit from it's growing cult following and maybe decides to makes a Atlantis live action movie as it's '2nd chance' and it does very well. Maybe a great/well made and profitable Disney Princesses movie with a strong narrative that has more then the official but has appearances from the unofficial Disney Princesses. A major narrative & gameplay driven Disney Princess video game was made where Kida makes a surprise appearance (like a Smash bros announcement that introduces many to a character they didn't know Kida gets a surprise introduction in such a way or EPIC Disney Series that has man 'forgotten characters' that have a fanbase, Kingdom Hearts, etc) and that does extremely well.

"This is what an Irish person sounds like!" As I just stare at the screen hearing no difference.

So, the sequel to the movie is actually suppose to be the pilot to an animated series. But that never happened and it was just made into a movie.

Facts

so excited to see this reaction!! fun fact: in the original cut, the opening scene was a stormy ship scene depicting vikings trying to use the shepard’s journal to find atlantis before the leviathan swallows them and the book floats to the surface… but the writers decided the sinking of Atlantis set up the emotional stakes/human element and Kida’s character much better so that’s what made the final cut. love the viking scene but glad they changed it, the sinking of atlantis is masterful visual storytelling imo edit: you can still find the cut scene on youtube!!

One detail i love is that Mr. Whitmore has a tank full of Coelacanths in 1914. Coelacanths were thought to be extinct until one was found alive in 1938.

4:06 Wanna share a cool detail I learnt about some time ago, about the fish in Jebidiah's aquarium!! The reason he knew Milo wasn't crazy wasn't only because the former knew the latter's grandfather, but also because Jebidiah owned fish NOT DISCOVERED AT THAT POINT IN TIME. (I don't know the names of the fish, I wanted to find the tumblr post about it but couldn't 😭). He knew there was more to the world than what's in the books

I don't remember seeing this movie in theaters, but I did have it on vhs. Side note: I think the reason why Kida and the other Atlantic citizens couldn't read was because the kingdom was focusing on survival. Like rebuilding homes, searching for food, rebuilding their economy, etc. The king may have been able to read, but based on how the artist drew his eyes, I assume he had become blind.

OMG this was such a joy to see in my notifications! Atlantis the Lost Empire is my favorite Disney movie of all time. I've watched it so many times since I was a little kid! It's arguably one of the most underrated films Disney has produced. Also a few additional comments about this movie and it's history - Sadly, this movie did bomb when it came out; just like a lot of Disney's 2D animated films at the time it. There were a lot of things like 2D animation not being as popular, other classics being released around the same time like the first Shrek movie and so many other factors. And due to its poor reception, this movie sadly gets forgotten a lot of the time. I mean Kida (despite literally holding the title of princess and later queen) isn't present on the Disney princess lineup, which I think is a crime because she is easily one of the coolest Disney princess characters IMO! - About Rourke and his greed. The way I think about it is, people like him aren't just obsessed with acquiring wealth, they want as much wealth as possible. And while discovering a lost city will probably make you rich, bringing back a potential superweapon at a time where we were about to experience one of the largest wars in human history (1914) would probably make you the richest man in the world. I mean there are people nowadays who have more money saved away than most ordinary people will ever see and they're STILL not satisfied.

WELCHY, PLEASE REACT TO "SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON"! It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time I watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥

Atlantis is a great underrated animated film because Michael Eisner (former chairman and (demon) chief executive officer (CEO) of The Walt Disney Company from September 1984 to September 2005,) released Atlantis on the exact same day as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie. Michael Eisner actually thought teenage boys would rather watch his movie than watch an 88% always sweaty, midriff wearing and weapon totting Angelina Jolie.

If I remember correctly this movie came out at the same time as the 1st Harry Potter movie ... an impossible thing to compete against. It's underappreciated and so funny.

Yep. Grew up with it but it flopped. The bad guy being infected by the crystal spooked me so much ! Very ambitious movie, with beautiful scene and lore, assuming death and tragedy...

Andrey closes the watertight door on a guy: "I'm telling St. Peter it's your fault I'm here!" X3

I'm so glad I got to watch this in a theater when it came out. Criminally underrated movie.

This movie is 10/10 for me - animation, well rounded characters (side characters included), comedy, fast paced plot, music, everything is perfect. I like how they tell everyone’s stories, it makes the characters more real to me

You don’t have to pit Kidagakash & Chel against each other, they are both unique and gorgeous women who confused *many* young girls. Between those two and Shego from Kim Possible it’s a complete miracle that I thought I was straight until I was 19.

"is this the quirky funny sidekick of this movie" you mean the entire crew?

This is absolutely an underrated treasure of Disney. Now the sequel……we don’t talk about that.

Im so glad you reacted to this :) I'm turning 30 tomorrow (march 5th), and this is one of my all time fave movies. Top 5 animated and top 10 non animated. Kida is one of my fave animated characters / fave animated princesses. I grew up watching this all the time, and me and my twin constantly quote this movie, especially the *smokes* "were all gonna die", and "four basic food groups" *lists them*, quotes. This is such an amazing movie and I really enjoyed your reaction video. Thanks for a great video :) x

I was eight when this movie came out and fell completely in love. It’s fun to see adults watch it for the first time and appreciate it - and to know that eight-year-old me had good Disney movie taste 😆

Atlantis and Treasure Planet are 2 of the greatest and most underrated Disney movies.

Welchy mate, if you think Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a forgotten Disney movie we need to learn you a thing about a little picture called The Black Cauldron. If you think Mole was annoying in this, Gurgi is next level. He makes Jar Jar Binks look chill and lovable.

Fun fact: The man that did most of the art and designs for the Hellboy comics did most of the concept art for the characters in this film! Mike Magnola. His art rules. Also, while Mole is bad.... I know of a worse one. There's a MUCH older Disney movie called The Black Cauldron, with the very bane of my existence... Gurgie. You should watch it and feel my pain. :)

So to create the Atlantean language, they hired Marc Okrand. The creator of the Klingon language of star trek!

It took me a while to recognize the difference between Irish and Scottish accents. Now, I'm trying to do the same with British and Australian. I can hear Australian accents more clearly if the speaker goes into an excited rant. I think Milo would be a king consort.
