now THIS is the movie that needs a love action remake. Frame for frame pretty much. The music. The effects. The story. Love all of it. One of Disneys most underrated

It was definitely a film ahead of its time.

We're all gonna die. //puts out cigarette//

Kida NEEDS to be an official Disney princess...I pisses me off that she isnt officially. But in my eyes, she is.

I think it's silly that this movie was judged for not being classic Disney. It was definitely taking a huge step out of the norm with Atlantis, but I enjoyed this movie as a kid and I still enjoy it to this day. Kida is a princess that I admire and Milo is a fantastic character. Even better that the nerdy, intelligent guy gets the badass, beautiful woman this time!

This and the Treasure Planet are the two best disney movies I had ever watched

"And then one day, BOOM. no more Chinese laundry..."

I think Atlantis is actually better to watch as a young adult instead of a child. I was actually only ten when it originally came out but only really connected with the humor part at the time. At the age I am now, I can appreciate the movie as a whole.

Between 1:09 and 1:47 it gives me the chills, always did in the movie. Such a beautiful score, such an underrated movie.

those bells along with the strings and chants *suffers an eargasm induced seizure*

This movie and Treasure Planet honestly do not get enough love.

1:51 is my favorite part Love this movie and the music. I wish Disney still did 2D animation. :(

Commander, I think you should hear this..........Commander...........Commander...................Commander..................Commander?

Whenever someone asks me what my favourite disney movie is i say Atlantis. Then they look at me and say "what the hell is that". It actually makes me mad because i love the unique story of this movie. The main guy isn't some crazy macho man but kinda nerdy and shows knowledge is valuable. And then of course Kida is just a complete badass and i love her to bits.

1:10 Favorite part. This is the part when Kida begins to walk on the water.

The fact that Raya from Raya and The Last Dragon and Mirabel Madrigal from the upcoming movie Encanto have a much higher chance at joining the Disney Princess lineup than Kida ever did annoys me to no end.

That innocent chanting of the child accompanied by the tinkling and the slowing accruing crescendo was so impacting to me, like the score truly emphasized the reconciliation of Kida's loss in childhood and destiny in adulthood.❤

One of the most amazing scenes Disney has ever churned out. This, Treasure Planet, and the Emperor's New Groove are lost gems in the Disney collection.

"All will be well, Milo Thatch. Be not afraid."

I don't care about the haters, I've always loved this movie as a kid

I didn't even know people hated this movie until I came to check out the soundtrack. Here in my country (Argentina) is really popular, and at least my generation really loves this movie. I'm not speaking just about myself, it's like seriously a big classic here, I'm sad to find out people hate it. But then again, we are all different and have different opinions

I would bet you almost anything if they made a live action version of this (since they are remaking all their old movies cause they're out of ideas anyway) this would do so well and then everyone will WANT to see the original.

Sure the Instruments are amazing but I personally think the Vocals really gives it the even more ancient mystery Vibe. I don't know how different it would've felt like if they left the humming and distant Vocals out of Scores. But I'm glad they didn't. Especially for this Scene, it makes the whole Scene seem like all the Royals of the Past speaking all at once to Kida.

I rewatched this after years now in Disney+ and it still gets me. 1:10 When Kida starts walking is such a powerful scene. Such an underrated movie.

How does this movie only have TWO stars on Netflix???!!!!

I think people didn't like this movie because it broke the usual Disney mold a lot...which is good. Notice how when Milo and Kida meets, they don't flirt at all. They actually have a conversation on something more important. Romance only comes at the very end of the film. Also, the movie could very well pass as an adventure for older adults, minus the jokes here and there. It has also an anti-exploitation message as the leader of the search party for Atlantis is only interested in the great power of the Heart of Atlantis, which would kill it's thousand years-old citizens, as it was the only thing keeping them alive and slowing down their aging significantly. Also, one thing that stands out in this movie is the design of the characters and backgrounds. It has little roundness to it.

I was obsessed with this movie, and expecially with this particular scene! I still can see every frame of it while I'm listening to this. Amazing!

Late 90s and early 00s Disney had really new ideas.loved it

I loved this movie as a kid and still love it now, so underrated. Treasure planet is also criminally underrated.

Criminal Underrated Masterpiece

God this movie was a fucking masterpiece and still holds up amazingly to this very day.

My intro to this song and movie was on the Disney Dinosaur VHS, ironically another movie Howard scored, the music was very mystifying to young me and I begged my dad for us to see it in theaters. Such a great film. Apparently, it didn't do well because it didn't have a strong marketing campaign. It really was meant for an older audience. Ah well, my kids will hopefully enjoy it someday. lol

Probably my favorite Disney film of all time as well as the most underrated.

Movie fans: Hey, Disney can we get a live action Atlantis Disney: Heres Dumbo! Movie fans: Um, thanks I guess. Now, about that Atlantis rem-" Disney: We got Will Smith to play as The Genie! Movie fans: Whoopie! Now can you please remake... Disney: Want to see a live action Lion King? Movie fans: Wouldnt that still technically be animat- Nevermind, I don't care! Give me my goddamn Atlantis remake! Disney: Sure, we'd love to give you a sequel to Maleficent. Movie fans: 🖕

This movie was kinda "hated" because we all are used to the Disney Fairy Tale Formula and kids want to see pixie dust, love or comedy. For me, I think we should have more movies like this, with History topics, to culture our children and let them think about other countries and adventures. I simply adore the animation and this movie is just awesome... :)

I really miss the old handdrawn 2D disney movies, they just had that magic and authenticity that I feel the cgi movies really lack these days :(

You hear that? Thats the power of James Newton Howard.

Who else has a crush on Kida when this movie came out?

Seriously, Disney hit this movie out of the ballpark with one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard from any of their films, bar none.

It's nice to see from the comments that This film found an audience that appreciated it, it really is a underrated classic! Unique story, original protagonist, great music, brilliant animation, a true hidden gem.

I was lucky to see it in the cinema when it was released in 2001. unforgettable masterpiece

One of the best movies I grew up on💕💕💕💕

1:23 - INCOMING EARGASM.

I always watched this whenever I was visiting my dad as a child. One of my favorites, and way too underappreciated.

1:10 - 1:49 I recently had a dream where I was about to do something I wanted to do my entire life. This exact music was playing. :,)

why is this movie so unpopular? It's under rated by far! It's so creative, inspiring, funny and beautiful! I used to watch this ALL THE TIME when I was younger and I still watch it every once and awhile now. This movie will always have a special place in my heart, if not other people's.

Watched this so long ago, but I still remember how etheral and amazed I was with this ost as a stupid child

ISTG this is soooooooo underrated. It's one of my most fav Disney movies and yeah DEFS still upset that she isn't an official Disney princess. She deserves it just as much as the other princesses.😭😭😭😭😭😭 Please make her official Disney, love her so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

1:10 to 138: always givers me chills every time i hear it.

movies like these were my childhood...

I remember always re watching this movie on DVR. I understood at a young age and that part where she goes into the water walking like Jesus made me feel enthralled with the visuals and the sound track. Even now I'm 23 and I rewatch from time to time because it was amazing

I remember seeing this in the theaters with my brother and dad we were so excited to get the crystal necklaces that would glow omfg I wish I still had it

This is my child hood movie still love it .

2:57 pure magic in that score.😊😏🌠💫

From 1:10 on I was literally crying with goosebumps of awe.

Anyone else get goosebumps when the girl sings a native tongue in this song?

The beauty, its killing me

How the hell could this movie be so underrated ?!

Disney should really promote this movie more in their advertisements and in their theme park.

La película que más he visto y que seguiré viendo

James Newton Howard is a god in music

I wish this movie had the recognition it deserved....

"You have disturbed the dirt"

This is one of my favorite Disney movies from when I was a kid. This actually deserves the live action treatment because the visuals would rival modern sci fi and fantasy and the soundtrack was amazing

This music is so amazing honestly, the movie is my favorite out of all Disney movies and the action. Plus the music makes me emotional for some reason and sad when like at 2:06 is when it’s like a dream

Once again, James Newton Howard has been a huge part of my childhood without me even knowing it. I love this so much!

Christ...I still remember as a kid, getting Kidas crystal in a Happy Meal and reenacting this damn floating scene in the deep end of our pool x,,,,D

1:10 that part should have lasted longer

Seriously guys, this was my favorite movie in the whole world. I still remember when I got a Kida doll for christmas; it had a crystal included and Kida's crystal (doll) could shine and it was totally mind blowing for a 4-5 year old girl like me. I also enjoyed recreating this scene with the house illumination, lifting the crystal with my hands lol

1:11 This is why I'm here

I watched this movie when I was really little, and I've loved it ever since. How on Earth is this movie so underrated???

Its so strange and beautiful, the emotion of the music keeps changing. From soft to strong, from mysterious to some somehow familiar. It feels like its the song of the whole world; Egyptian, greek, african, american. Its everything, and its different at the same time.

Best scene of the movie, or at least the best-looking scene anyway.

This would be such a perfect live action movie. It didn't do well because it came out the same time as Shrek. Which is unfortunate because it's so good.

my all time favorite movie ever, nothing else comes close imo, a very distant second would be pokemon 2000 for me

This sounds like something straight out of Le Cirque Du Soleil.

1:10 is just Magical. I get chills every time. This movie is really wacky. It doesn't completely add up, escpecialy this scene. No matter how many times I see it, I still don't quite understand, but this movie never fails to amaze and leave me breathless.

1:10 is still the most haunting and mesmerizing music I’ve ever heard in my entire life!

1:17 Epic chill moment begins here!

This must be on of my favourite Disney movie I have ever seen! I remember when I was like 5, when Kida steps on water, when the crystal glows and interweaves with her, when the faces of the kings fall, I always kept that and this beautiful music in mind! and couldn't forget them ever since... Hail for Atlantis, the Lost Empire!!!

this was one of the disney movies that had by far the most epic soundtrack ever

No matter how bad the movie may or may not be, this scene alone is one of the most memorable pieces of cinema (animated or otherwise) in the past few decades. I still remember what how the trailers made me feel the first time I saw them back in 2000. That is how powerful this scene is.

One of the best film, not just animated but FILM scores in cinema.

"In a Single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea..." -Plato

How this movie's soundtrack isn't more popular is beyond me. It's spine-chilling and feels like you've seen something so breathtaking you just can't describe it. It's just beautiful!

I had a dream where Disney made a live action version with the most of the ost still intact and used and the characters looked mostly similar to their cartoon counter parts

1:10 magical :')

1:10 to 1:18 just beautiful and tranquil

my favorite part is at 1:10

I liked it for Leonard Nimoy's voice acting as the King of Atlantis.

To this day, I'm hoping that Atlantis lost Empire will one day, be in a future kingdom hearts game.

James Newton Howard. Still waiting for that effin Oscar. :(

“All will be well, Milo Thatch. Be not afraid.” - Princess Kida

This still gives me chills. I've lost count of the years. It's a masterpiece.

Do any of you girls want to pretend like you're Kida and you're inside the crystal chamber?

This and Treasure Planet NEED to be in Kingdom Hearts 3, :)

I love this film, me and my siblins watched this all the time as kids, same with Emperor's new groove. I don't understand why those are always so overlooked :(.

one of disneys Lost treasures , loved it as a kid (23 now ) and still love it , one my favorite ones

The music is one of my favorite things in this movie... It is so amazing!!

This song always gives me the chills!
