Pretty good film,if not that original
24 October 2001
Although I quite enjoyed this disney offering..I couldn't help but notice the comparisons between this film and the Dreamworks offering ROAD TO EL DORADO.In both films,People follow maps and pass many spectacular stone carvings trying to reach a great place,and when they get there,the beauty of it is beyond words.

Unfortunately for this film,the story runs out pretty much by the time they get to Atlantis.Chances are the filmmakers didnt want to plagarise Road to el dorado, so they took a different path which doesnt always work in its favour.In this film our heroes companions betray him so they can get the city most precious diamond and take it away.It makes for a Great and highly visual action climax which compensates for the lack of story

The film is funny and has some great visual scenes aboard the Sub(Many times I was asking myself how this film would work as a live piece).It was an enjoyable film indeed..which also spared us the musical numbers...but it makes me miss the old days of film when films like this were done live..and without the dreaded digitism.

I give it....7 out of 10
