>>105593270I think it's a hidden gem.
The premise was epic is scope, probably bigger than any animated disney film before, and after so far.
The animation was great! The colors popped and the blue hues were great. Angular lines seemed to work.
The score was big. It fit with the large scenic shots in the film, and felt like you're viewing a culmination of a lost history
The characters were loveable and memorable. Not much more to say.
The biggest issues was pacing. No time to flesh atlantis out too much.
I think they should remake it. Turn it into an exclusive miniseries for that Disney streaming service we keep hearing about. I think it could be a hit. Make it about 16 episodes long. 30 minute runtime per episode. First 8 eps are about trying to get to Atlantis and build up the significance, as well as define the characters. Last 8 are spent exploring atlantis and discovering the secrets for the series finale. Lastly, keep it animated. Live-action would be okay.. but to truly reach the scale of the first one, it needs to feel big and animation can do that really well.
