Why Disney's "Next Big Thing" Was A Total Disaster
Рет қаралды 139,235
4 ай бұрынWalt Disney Studios has a long track record of success. From the earliest ventures into 2D animation through present day, Disney has been known to push the boundaries of creativity and story telling. But in 2001, the release of Atlantis: The Lost Empire proved that Disney had to make a change. Not only was Atlantis: The Lost Empire a huge box office failure, it made Disney rethink their whole strategy moving forward.

Cant believe this was a flop. I remember rewatching this movie so many times as a kid because it was so good!
@abastionofbricks7575
"lacking a creative spark in its heart"? Bruh. Although it's the tried and true adventure movie formula, Atlantis is one of the most creative pieces of animation I've ever seen. Sound design, vehicle design, pre WW2 industrial look to clash the sleek mother culture aesthetic of Atlantis, the more geometric and angular animation style derived from Mignola's work. I would say it's far from lacking a creative spark.

This and Treasure Planet were hugely underrated disney classics

Another reason why Atlantis: The Lost Empire has failed very hard at the box office was because it was overshadowed by other summer blockbuster movies of 2001 such as The Mummy Returns, Shrek, Pearl Harbor, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Fast and the Furious, Cats and Dogs, Legally Blonde, Jurassic Park 3, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes, Rush Hour 2, and American Pie 2. This also happened to two other animated box office flops like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Osmosis Jones which both were also released the same year.

One of the very few animated Disney movies that I would personally like to see a live action remake for. Underrated gem.

Absolutely loved the movie when I was a kid. Still do to this day. It was a Disney movie with guns and fighting lol, definitely not something they do all too often

Such shame that Atlantis it was one of my favorite Disney movie in 2000s calling a movie a disaster was real tragedy since it movie truly great in term of storytelling characters aesthetics and theme that is departure from typical Disney formats and this movie stood the test of time that deserves recognition acknowledgment success and acclaim it rightfully deserved
@possomt6211
Did they actually ask the kids who watched the movie. Everyone I know who grew up with this movie loved it. All flop movies seem to be according to the grown ups?
@jdgarcia718
Nerdstalgic was brutal, this was not as bad of a movie as they claim it to be, I didn't even knew it was a flop. It's certainly one of those movies that were trap in the transition era between 2D and 3D, what a shame because it was a new facet that Disney could have explored for a pre-teen or teenager audience
@FreshTillDeath56
I still think the film was a good idea. There are several reasons why this film failed... I chalk most of it up to timing and what majority audiences wanted that year because I LOVE this film. What saves the paper-thin story is the INSPIRED casting and incredible voice performances everyone was able to give. Seriously, there's not a single weak link in the cast. I mean, they even got frickin' James Garner!! I think the adventureland movie could be fresh again for Disney, especially today. I mean, I cannot even remember the names of the last 5 films they've produced, that's how bland it has gotten.

From all the cash grab live-action remakes made by Disney
@Jaetheeintrovert
Even though it didn’t make as much money, I don’t think it was a total loss. A lot of people (me included) remember the film and enjoyed it as a child. I really appreciated the way they did something different outside of musicals (I have never been a big fan of

When Disney wants us to watch something, they'll smother us to death with marketing
@bigwaffle3018
What made Atlantis so good was it didn't hold our hands as kids, it respected that we were emotionally intelligent enough to follow what was happening and the emotional toll it had on the characters. this is true for some other stories from my millennial childhood that built cult-classics: Treasure Planet, Batman the animated series, Gargoyles, teen titans, and more.
@MrPaoloMic
I always thought it was a good mirror to Dreamworks' El Dorado. To this day I still enjoy watching this movie and am absolutely astonished by the work they put on developing a cultural and linguistical background to Atlantis.
@mg6945
Atlantis is actually really good. That post-Renaissance era of Disney Animation where we got this, Treasure Planet, Fantasia 2000, and Emperor’s New Groove (which people forget that in its time was a flop) is very overlooked. Some interesting and really cool stuff came out of it
@chasehedges6775
Atlantis The Lost Empire is a classic tho but not without its flaws. I still love it to this day.
@kashuanhopkins1397
Justice for Atlantis. I still love the others from the Golden Broadway Era, but it is still my fav Disney movie.
@benjaminwatt2436
"the moral If tale and character don't come first the story is bound for disaster". Tell that to the Minions movie
@roberttreacy8271
As others have stated, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is such an underrated movie.
Oddly Satisfying
