>>114472328Atlantis was their first big attempt at a boy friendly action animated franchise with extensive lore, plans for a TV series and multiple theme park attractions. Then normies ree'd that it was atypical from Disney's usual fare, Annofags ree'd that it must have stolen everything from their obscure pre-Eva show because it drew from the same wells of inspiration, and also Shrek beat the shit out of it at the box office.
Now the only acknowledgement Disney gives it are the handful of times that Imagineers throw occasional easter egg references into their shared steampunk/old-timey adventurer universe at the theme parks that only a handful of theme park lore nerds really care about.
