10 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire

AJ, Mike, and Chris invite you to take a deep dive (pun intended) into one of AJ's all-time favorite movies, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Released in 2001 (April Fool's!), this film moved away from musicals and into an exciting journey filled with action, adventure, swash-buckling, and mythology. And who better to tell the tale than the film's screenwriter, Tab Murphy? Tab joins us once again to talk about how the idea for Atlantis came to be, what he did to research Atlantis in the real world, how Atlantis was almost a monster movie, and what had to get cut from his original 150-page script. We then wrap up with a look at the mythology and history the Disney team created for Atlantis, and where Atlantis went beyond the silver screen. So what are you waiting for? Atlantis is waiting.
