Visually a stunning film. Quite beautiful in its premise and in its artificial architecture. I was quite partial to the scene in which Kida fused with the Heart of Atlantis, and the faces of the kings fell as she walked forward.
A good deal of dark humor, and not a sign of that odd let's-all-break-into-song atmosphere. An old-fashioned but revolutionary animation style. A very seamless fusion of CG/traditional animation, unlike efforts in "Hercules" and its ilk. Don't let the dark aspects of this film turn you away; it is still Disney, still teaches life lessons, and is still, in its heart, maudlin as any Disney flick before it.
A better plot than other recent Disney films, and a fresher look as well. "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" may be dark...but it is also beautiful; overall a visual masterpiece. Kudos to Disney.
