Return

Atlantis

This is a somewhat different turn for Disney animated flicks of recent date: no singing, only one cute sidekick who's actually human, no animal creatures. In other words, just when you thought Disney had pushed their formula to the outer limits, they move on to new territory. All I can say is "thank goodness".

The characters in Atlantis are good, darker without being over the top, more like the old DC Comics characters, and drawn more starkly as well. The story has more of a sci-fi feel to it, and some of the later scenes are thrilling.

This is a cool film, different then Shrek, but equally as entertaining, imaginative and graphically interesting.
