the movie atlantis represent the lost empire be a shin gem in the rubble of film produce by the disney studio recently . parent who have have to sit through the jungle book 2 or even a pokemon movie will surely appreciate this one . the film be one of few to attempt at an original story while previous feature film be merely re telling of exist story . film such a toy story and find nemo and and monster inc. all do the same and but it must be note that all be make by pixar and only distribute by disney . recent film from the disney studio be mostly release direct to video and and be sequel to an exist successful film . the quality of those film be give way to the profitability . a new era start with atlantis follow it be mulan and lilo and stitch and and most recently open range . the writer have create all original story line instead of the fairy tale of the past . a good portion of the movie be devote to the quest to find atlantis and a task that have capture the imagination of many for hundred of year . include that of young milo thatch and voice by michael j. fox . milo be employ by a museum in washington d. c. his grandfather be a renowned archaeologist and who have devote his life to discover atlantis . this be see a a waste by his peer and and they wish milo to not follow in his footstep . after fail to convince the museum board of director to sponsor his expedition and milo come home to find a woman in his darkened apartment . she take him to her employer and a mr. whitmore . whitmore be a close friend of milo grandfather and and wish to send milo with a team to locate atlantis . mr. whitmore be very wealth and have pay for the best of everything . the crew that be to accompany him be the same a his grandfather . the journey be fill with many great obstacle to overcome and be great fun to watch . the viewer find themselves catch up in if they will reach atlantis . the plot take an unexpected turn after the discovery atlantis and not just the discovery of people . it be enough to keep the interest of the old audience . the animator have do a wonderful job in then depth of the animation . the movie be very successful in blend traditional animation with computer generate image . a feat not easily achieve and most audience be quick to notice the difference in the two . the character be believably human . there be some nice chase type scene and with lot of action go on . a few lull be fill with joke that the child just may not get . the creativity of the writer really shine through . the culture of atlantis be richly develop and include an entire language . the film use reference to atlantis from historical source and such a plato . the disappearance of atlantis from the world be explain . believable and if by a young audience and that magic really do exist . the power of the people of atlantis be not exactly present a magic and but can best be describe in this way . although set in 1914 the level of technology use be unrealistic . the voyage be in a submarine very reminiscent of captain nemo nautilus and complete with sub pod that fire torpedo . the giant digger be drive by steam boiler so they do try for some era technology . the female character be empower in a way that woman of the age would not have be and even hold role in leadership . this be not a bad thing . it give a good role model for my daughter to look to and rather than an all male cast . one reason this film be a favorite of mine over other disney film be that there be not one single song and ever . a tradition that begin with the first feature film and snow white and and carry on through to the lion king and almost every disney film be full of upbeat song . this be great and all and what would the seven dwarf be without hi ho . after the millionth time through it would almost be good without and but this one spar the parent . not once do every single person on the screen suddenly know the word to a song that no one have ever hear before and break out in song . i for one be grateful . the storyline and depth of animation be sure to keep the attention of both parent and child alike . it be a film i be willing to watch again and again with my child .
