Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Entry #41 in the Disney Animated Canon, this 2001 movie begins with a great cataclysm that occurred in the distant past which swallows up an entire, highly advanced civilization. Only through the Heroic Sacrifice of the queen is the civilization spared complete destruction, but to the rest of the world, it seems as if it was wiped from the face of the planet...Flash forward to 1914. Milo Thatch, a young, poor, orphaned linguist, has uncovered evidence of the existence of a great civilization in the past, Atlantis, which was previously thought to be just a myth. Despite his breakthroughs in deciphering clues hidden in the writings and legends of many disparate cultures, his ideas and his proposed expedition—to find "the Shepherd's Journal" and follow its instructions to the lost city itself—is rejected outright by his peers. However, a mysterious woman steps in and offers him a chance to prove his theory, backed by the mysterious billionaire Mr. Whitmore, who knew Milo's grandfather and had agreed years earlier to help finance Milo's expedition.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Once Milo meets Whitmore and convinces him of his own personal determination and commitment, he is invited to join an expedition that is setting out to make the unprecedented trip to Atlantis itself. The rag-tag team is led by Commander Rourke, a straight, no-nonsense military man, who also knew Milo's grandfather and worked with him on the previous expedition where they found the Shepherd's Journal. Once they arrive at the destination from which they might never return, they discover an underdeveloped, dying society that has abandoned and forgotten their written language — and Milo becomes a translator between the two cultures. However, it is revealed that there is an ulterior purpose to the expedition that Milo is unaware of, and his compatriots are not all that they seem.While a sequel named Shards of Chaos as well as an animated TV series named Team Atlantis was under development, the film's somewhat disappointing performance at the box-office lead Disney to cancel both the sequel and the series, the latter of which a bit into its production. Instead, the completed material for the series was reworked into a Direct-to-Video sequel film named Atlantis: Milo's Return.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The film was accompanied by three tie-in video games. Atlantis is also the third Disney Animated Canon film to be rated PG in America, with the first being 1985's The Black Cauldron and the second being Dinosaur in 2000 (Dinosaur, however, was only added to the Canon in 2008). | |

Fox, and you have got fangirl carnage on your hands. Kida makes mention of this... in her own, unique way. | |

Artistic License – Linguistics | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: Averted (See Conveniently Precise Translation below) and also played straight. In most languages, the translation in the beginning would not work, but the Norse words for Ireland and Iceland really are one rune (letter) apart, so it makes perfect sense for the two words to be accidentally switched. However, later on the Atlanteans can magically speak not just English but every language descended from their own, even though that is not how languages evolve. Additionally, many of the languages spoken are from completely different language families (meaning that they are not descended from the same language, Atlantean or otherwise). Milo can speak Atlantean through slowly translating their written language. Unless a Romanization or Anglicization of the alphabet exists (which is doubtful), this is impossible, as you can't tell what a letter is supposed to sound like solely through what it looks like. On the other hand, his pronunciation is nowhere near perfect; Kida comments that his accent is "boorish, provincial, and you speak it through your nose." A remarkable coincidence, given that Atlantis hasn't had a provincial territory in thousands of years. It is possible for a civilization to lose the knowledge needed to read their own written language (Hieroglyphics were a complete mystery to modern Egyptians until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, and while it's still more or less possible to read the words of Latin or Old English it's next to impossible to extract much meaning without specific knowledge of those languages). However, the people of Atlantis are extremely long-lived, Kida was slightly older than a toddler at the time of the Great Flood and is now a young woman nearly 9000 years later. This means most Atlanteans alive at the time of the story were alive at the height of their civilization. It seems very far-fetched that a people would lose the ability to read their own written language within one generation, especially when those same people are apparently able to pick up spoken languages they've never heard before in a matter of seconds. | |

Multinational Team: The crew for the expedition is multiethnic in 1914, no less. Audrey's inclusion made this the only film in Disney's canon to have a Hispanic human character voiced by a Hispanic actor (or in this case, actress) until Big Hero 6, which had Honey Lemon, another Hispanic girl, in its main cast. | |

Darker and Edgier: Than the usual Disney fare, by a big degree, and largely considered to be a reason for its financial failure. It may hold the record for the largest number of people who die onscreen in a Disney movie (not major characters, but still.) The Fantastic Nuke is the first thing that happens after the opening credits. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: Helga shows some remorse when she discovers that they will be stealing from living people and not a long-dead civilization, but she goes along with Rourke's plan...at least until he turns on her. It's not clear if this would have been enough to make her side with Milo, though, since she doesn't survive the final battle. | |

Artistic License – Geology | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_1a5bba2b | comment |
Artistic License – Geology: The volcano. Unless it were pretty much already erupting, the crash of a hot air balloon wouldn't even dent a lava dome. Further, it erupts in a "Strombolian" fashion (creating lava bombs, splatter, and explosively fast lava flows) but produces lava in a volume only seen in Hawai'ian eruption. They'd probably have something on the order of several hours to construct the shield in a Hawai'ian eruption, but Rule of Drama! Presumably a true "Plinian" eruption (explosive, the type that the Mount St. Helens eruption followed) would have been too hard to animate. The danger from them are not lava, but pyroclastic clouds of red-hot gasses and tiny bits of magma that travel several hundred miles per hour. | |

Advanced Ancient Humans: The Atlanteans have technology and science far more advanced than anything recorded in history including laser-spewing hovercrafts, floating monuments, crystals that grant healing and advanced longevity, hyper-awareness of languages created millennia after their own, and massive machines. However, they are also quite militaristic to the point they tried to turn their own civilization's power source into a weapon of mass destruction and ended up destroying themselves by accident for it. All this while still possessing tribalistic characteristics such as a hunter/gatherer style of living. In their case, they're a strange case of a proud warrior race and a proud scholar race. | |

Much later, as Helga lies on the ground, dying from her wounds, she gets revenge by pulling out her flare gun to shoot down the zeppelin, though not before throwing Rourke's words right back. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The movie makes an effort to avoid this minus Atlantis and some of the Steampunk / Dieselpunk tech used by the expedition. Though Mole does use a Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun and steel helmets and gas masks would not be commonplace until 1915-16. The expedition uses deep diving Submarines (at this time they were incapable of going deep or remaining under for long), acoustic torpedoes (which wouldn't be invented for decades), and fighter airplanes with synchronizing gear (wouldn't be developed until well into WWI). Coelcanths, like the ones in Whitmore's aquarium, were still thought to have been extinct in 1914, and remained so until their rediscovery in 1938. | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: Inverted. Milo first meets Helga dolled up in a sexy dress. Later on he does the gasp and double take when he sees her on the expedition dressed casually (though not for the same reasons). A straighter version with both Audrey and Mrs. Packard at the end, when they're dressed in their finest, after we've only seen them in work/travel clothes for the duration of the film. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: When Milo first meets Commander Rourke, the latter comments that he "prefers a good western." This could be seen as a reference to James Garner's earlier television series Maverick, where he played a gambler in The Wild West. Two for Michael J. Fox and Back to the Future. In his first scene, Marty/Milo is rehearsing something, only to realize he's late. Later, when Milo realizes King Kashekim Nedakh is dying, he says "What a nightmare", which was what Marty says when he wakes up in the "improved" 1985 in the end. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: When Mr. Whitmore first gives Milo the Shepherd's Journal, he makes several doubtful comments as to its authenticity and reliability, as well as to the futility of any mission to find Atlantis. When Milo explains that he would know if it was a fake and that he would rent a rowboat himself if that was what it took to get an expedition going, Whitmore explains that that was exactly what he wanted to hear, and then offers Milo a place on the multi-million dollar expedition he had already been planning. In the sequel, the Dust Coyotes will spare the heroes the fate they dealt to the villain if they confess a secret they have kept. As it turns out, had they revealed the secret (about Atlantis existing), the Dust Coyotes (who knew the secret anyway) would have concluded they cannot be trusted to keep secrets and would have punished them accordingly. | |

Honor Before Reason: Milo's decision to stop the older and very-experienced-in-warfare Rourke from taking Kida and the source of Atlantis's power. He even says so himself. | |

You Do NOT Want to Know: Sweet says this about Moliere's backstory, providing the quote for that page. According to Audrey in the sequel, it turns out that he was raised by naked mole rats. The truth of this is at best unclear. The Disney Adventures article on the film says he spent his childhood roaming through the sewers of Paris and that some of the dirt on him is from that time. | |

Fanservice Pack: It's quite convenient that the fireflies would attack the camp while everyone's asleep, meaning they spend the rest of the film wearing less clothing. Rourke, Milo, Vinnie and Sweet lose their modest tops to be replaced by flattering vests. Audrey also loses her baggy sleeves and Helga loses the coat in favour of a tank top. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Rourke. Audrey's main advice to Milo when they are going against him is that he is "never surprised." Case in point - he brings anti-aircraft guns and an army of biplanes with him on an underground/underwater mission, despite having no reason to think he was going to be attacked by flying machines. What makes it even crazier is the fact they lost 90% of their equipment prior to that point. At least some of the credit should go to Mr. Whitmore, who had the expedition supplied with said equipment in the first place. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: When the opening cataclysm hits Atlantis and the people in the outer villages get trapped outside the magical barrier, one guy (possibly one of the soldiers from the Hammerhead ships) takes his hat off as he stands facing the wave, while several other families hug each other tightly, preparing for the end. During the scene in which the leviathan attacks, Mrs. Packard can be seen opening a crime novel and trying to read even as she relays communications for the rest of the panicked crew. Those two Mauve Shirts who just make it through the flooding hallway before Audrey slams the door are the pilots of the last heavy sub that gets destroyed by the Leviathan. When the Ulysses descends into the ocean, a crewman can be seen grinning and waving at the camera almost immediately after Milo goes out of frame. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Gas had not been deployed as a weapon yet, but the concept of a gas mask dates back to the 9th century. A gas mask was patented in America in 1849 by Lewis Haslett, for filtering dust, and Garrett A. Morgan invented a gas mask in 1912 that proved useful for gas/smoke-filled environments. Military use of gas masks did not occur until at least 1915, but Rourke runs a private army with unconventional equipment, to say the least. | |

Punny Name: Mol-iere is the Tunnel King (see above). A Mol(e) is also a unit of measurement in Chemistry, and Mole is seen speaking in scientific terms for chemistry on several occasions (about dirt, obviously). The communications officer is Ms. Packard. Packard Bell was a radio manufacturer back around the time the movie took place. And of course, the cook is named Cookie. LT. L(yle) T. Rourke Vinny's last name is Santorini. Santorini is the modern-day name of the island of Thera, which is theorized to have been the inspiration for Atlantis in Plato's dialogues. It was home to the Minoan civilization, which, while not supernaturally so, was advanced for its day until the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption. This makes his position as the group's explosives expert especially apt. | |

Affectionate Gesture to the Head: At the end of the movie, Milo is saying goodbye to all his friends. When he comes to Mole, who offers a big hug, he hesitates before patting his head instead. | |

Artistic License – Military: Despite holding a Naval Officer's rank, Rourke is seen wearing a green uniform and Stetson hat more in line with a US Army officer. Possibly justified because he's actually a mercenary, and can presumably wear whatever the hell he wants. | |

The Leviathan is also slightly inconsistent in regards to how much bigger it is than the Ulysses. In one shot, it swims quietly underneath the Ulysses, and although it's hard to tell from the water depth, the Ulysses appears to be about as long as its head or one of its larger claws. Another shot from the same action sequence shows the Leviathan quite comfortably holding the entire Ulysses like a footlong sub sandwich in its mandibles. | |

Jerkass Gods: Kida states that the Atlanteans were banished underwater because their gods grew jealous of Atlantis's wealth and power. The real reason the city sank, however, is because Kida's father attempted to use the Heart of Atlantis as a weapon against enemy nations. The Heart, being sentient, did NOT take it well. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The film has a different theme song for the Japanese version, called "Crystal Vine", written by DREAMS COME TRUE. Germany has local girlband No Angels re-perform the song "Atlantis" by and with Scottish singer and songwriter Donovan.

Politically Correct History | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: An ethnically diverse crew of explorers... in 1914! Justified in that the core were mercenaries - which put petty little things like ethnicity aside in the Search for More Money - and the crew was assembled by Whitmore, who was a certifiable awesome nutcase. Audrey's sister competing in boxing, let alone having a genuine title shot (presumably against a man), would have been extremely unusual for the time, yet is barely remarked on. | |

Animation Bump | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: A rather odd example—While it wasn't uncommon for films like this to assign an animator to a character, Helga's animation is considerably much more fluid than the rest of the cast. This may be due to her supervising animator being from France. Milo himself was sometimes subject to these, during which he would truly come across as an animated Michael J. Fox. | |

Your Size May Vary | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: A mechanical example. Only two vehicles, apparently, escape the destruction of the Ulysses, a single sub-pod and one of the larger carrier subs which doesn't look to be much bigger than a house, considering its size next to the two-man sub-pod...yet when the survivors emerge from it, they're barely visible on top, and that single carrier is apparently large enough to carry a sizable armed backup, a full military convoy complete with air support, at least one massive boring machine...oh, and an escape zeppelin. The Leviathan is also slightly inconsistent in regards to how much bigger it is than the Ulysses. In one shot, it swims quietly underneath the Ulysses, and although it's hard to tell from the water depth, the Ulysses appears to be about as long as its head or one of its larger claws. Another shot from the same action sequence shows the Leviathan quite comfortably holding the entire Ulysses like a footlong sub sandwich in its mandibles. | |

Men Are the Expendable Gender: Averted to an almost ahistorical extent. The crew of the Ulysses clearly has a good number of women among its crew, note Including in combat roles, the dude in the sub pod who shouts "We're getting killed out here!" has a female copilot and very few, if any, are seen to have escaped its destruction. Rourke's eulogy specifically mentions that the crew had "some of the finest men and women I've ever known." Rourke's Gas Mask Mooks in the climax are assumed to be all male, but they wear heavy, full-body coats and don't speak, so we can't say that for certain. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: It moves so fast it's hard to tell, but in the cataclysm that opens the film, the Leviathan is the leading Atlantean vehicle in the convoy, and in fact flies directly into the camera, long before it gets any plot relevance. When Whitmore shows off the scale models of the vehicles to be used in the expedition, Milo is seen fiddling with the Hot Air Balloon Model. Milo later has his climactic battle with Rourke on the real thing. As mentioned in the DVD commentary, when Whitmore shows the files of the crew, Rourke's photo is partially covered-up. All the good guys' photos are fully uncovered. Again with Rourke: at the beginning when they're getting on the boat, Rourke says the trip "will be enriching for all of us". Pillaging Atlantis for dollars was his motive for joining the expedition all along. Kida's true age is foreshadowed once by the King ("A thousand years ago you would have struck them down.") | |

Karma Houdini: All of the specialists who took part in Rourke's get-rich plan that ends up with the king of Atlantis dead, all so they can steal Atlants's treasure, are Easily Forgiven (and very richly rewarded) for having a last minute twinge of conscience. Granted they initially thought they were just going to be doing some elaborate grave-robbing from a long-dead civilization. Murder wasn't on their to-do list. The Leviathan is a non-human example, having massacred nearly all of the 200-man crew aboard the Ulysses, and for all we know, it's still out there preying on unsuspecting trespassers. | |

High-Heel–Face Turn: Double Subverted. Although Helga's not the only woman in the crew, she's the most conventionally feminine and as the Big Bad's right-hand woman, she fits the traditional model for this trope more than anyone else. Which makes it all the more surprising when she's the only one of the named crew not to desert Rourke out of disgust. At least until Rourke chucks her off the zeppelin. Hey, wait a second...doesn't she still have that flare gun? | |

Irony: Disney was expecting this film to be their big 2D hit for 2001, but the film performed under expectations, causing Disney's smaller 2D movie of the year, Recess: School's Out, to be a bigger successnote Atlantis made more money, but because Recess: School's Out was made on a lower budget, the box office returns were more successful. In Finland, the VHS and DVD of Atlantis contained the Recess premiere episode ("The Break In/The New Kid") as a bonus. | |

There's also the helmet Milo inherited from his grandfather. He never grew into it and it covers his eyes, but he apparently likes to put it on anyway. He even keeps it in a nice little case. | |

Shout-Out | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Ulysses screams of Jules Verne influence. It's important to note that Atlantis: The Lost Empire was partly inspired by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Speaking of which, the idea of having to go into the Earth itself to find Atlantis came from Journey to the Center of the Earth.note Interestingly enough, this film started out as an animated adaptation of that book. Milo's explanation of the boiler's finer workings is one to Don Knotts, according to Word of God on the commentary. | |

In total, 193 of the original 200 crew members died on the mission, which is quite a whopping number for a Disney movie. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Used when the Leviathan is stalking the Ulysses through the underwater caves. The audience sees it clearly, but the characters don't, cranking up the suspense until the inevitable happens. Also in a Fridge Horror variation, around the opening cataclysm: just what the hell were the Atlanteans fighting for the crystal weapon (that ultimately destroyed the city) to become necessary? We never find out. | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_ce9da072 | comment |
Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Averted with Milo; who frequently stutters, repeats himself, or stumbles over wordsnote This is probably due to being voiced by Michael J. Fox, who, even before his diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (which would be enough to push one's speech into that territory on its own) naturally delivered his lines like this. Just watch Back to the Future, which was over five years before the first symptoms manifested). Justified in-universe, as he's an anxious character adventuring for the first time. | |

Bizarre Taste in Food | |

Bizarre Taste in Food: Mole. When Cookie is serving up dinner, he slops baked beans onto everyone's trays, but refers to it as Caesar salad (for Sweet), escargot (for Audrey) and oriental spring rolls (for Mole). Mole looks at his tray, disappointed, and protests to Audrey that he wanted the escargot, and Audrey shoves her tray at him. Mole abandons the 'spring rolls' and digs into the 'escargot,' even though it's the same greasy food. The fact that Mole eats Cookie's food at all and apparently even looks forward to it can count as well. | |

Crush the Keepsake: At the climax, Rourke, after obtaining the Atlantean crystal and having no more need of him, punches Milo in the face. Milo's framed picture of him as a boy with his grandfather falls out and Rourke stomps on it, smashing the frame. Fortunately, the photo is intact, and what's more, it's this act that causes Audrey, followed by everybody else except Helga, to do a Heel–Face Turn and abandon Rourke. | |

The Load: Milo is seen this way by many of the expedition members - and he certainly causes enough problems to justify the view. Once his skill set comes into play, the trope is defied. | |

Jerkass: The Museum Board of directors. They are nothing but rude to Milo and mistreat him over his belief in Atlantis. They moved his presentation to request funding for an expedition to a time that had already passed just to reject him and claim he has potential and they need him but keep him in the basement just to take care of the heater. | |

All of the specialists who took part in Rourke's get-rich plan that ends up with the king of Atlantis dead, all so they can steal Atlants's treasure, are Easily Forgiven (and very richly rewarded) for having a last minute twinge of conscience. Granted they initially thought they were just going to be doing some elaborate grave-robbing from a long-dead civilization. Murder wasn't on their to-do list. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Pretty cleverly worked around in the scene where Rourke is interrogating the King of Atlantis. At one point, he punches the King in the gut for not cooperating, and an enraged Kida (who is being held captive by Rourke's men) starts threatening him in Atlantean. The official comic book adaption translates her words to 'I will kill you for that.' Elsewhere, death and references to it are pretty straightforward. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire / Disney / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The Atlantean tech gets a pass due to the 'sufficiently advanced technology', but there are a couple of instances. For instance, the Ulysses explodes after the crew escapes, when at thalassic depths it should have been crumpling in on itself as the boiler explosion within compromised its structure. Tunnel boring machines don't actually look like the one Mole uses. Instead they have a mostly flat drilling mechanism. Though this was likely done so the audience would recognize the machine. | |

He wants to take the Heart of Atlantis, which would kill the Atlanteans, so that he'll be even more rich. | |
