Atlantis: The Lost Empire
from How's It Hold Up? Hosted by Danika Juarez
(Spoiler Section Length - 16min 5sec) After around a decade of creating musicals, Disney started to branch out in the early 2000's, creating several films that weren't as financially successful as the 'Renaissance Era' movies, but many of which ended up being cult favorites over time. Atlantis is one such film - eschewing the musical format for a straight-up adventure film inspired by the like of Indiana Jones. Disney hoped the movie would be the next big thing, and planned to make theme park updates, a sequel and even a spin-off television series under the assumption it would be. But that's not how things worked out... the film disappointed financially, enough so that all the aforementioned tie-ins were cancelled. But financial success is far from a measure of true quality... was this movie actually any good? Listen to find out!
