final score ( an average of various classic cinematic quality act and visuals and creativity and payoff and humor and fun and ect ) represent4 . 3 ( out of 10 ) have atlantis represent the lost empire come out a few year ago it would have seem like a bold and serious new direction in disney animation . however and it come just a year after the innovative and nearly genius the emperor new groove and mark a step back in free disney from it repetative disney formula . i be a big fan of the feature length disney animate film . have to see them all love it or hate it . atlantis be an animated throwback to 20 and 000 league under the sea and similar live action sci fi adventure of the 50 and 60 . problem be that this version hardly contain one original idea . it feel like a remake of something and even more so than actual disney remake ( tarzan and the hunchback of notre dame ) . the character be little more than a walking cliche of the usual suspect that typically populate these type of film ( the oddball mechanic and the gung ho general and the sassy tough woman ) . beyond milo thatch ( fox ) and rourke ( garner ) the support cast be flat out obnoxious . the movie also suffer from it succinct pace . instead of flesh it out into an epic story and disney jam a lot in the usually brief running time brushing over opportunity to develop . suspence and character and anything really . they thow u into this new and wonderous world and barely let u get our baring . the awkward pace sometimes make confuse what be a relatively simple story . the animation be dark and dreary and cheap . this thing look like a slap together saturday morning cartoon . let hope they haven not forget that 2d traditional animation can still be wonderous . the iron giant among others prove that . negative represent the visuals and pace and and sheer lack of originality . positive represent quite possibly the cool death scene for a disney villain in a long time . it the creative highlight of the movie .
