Atlantis: The Lost Empire by Malachyte

I just watched this movie last night for kicks, and I-

Was this really Disney? Really? I've never seen characters so flat (emotionally and physically), a plot so full of holes it makes swiss cheese look solid, and such terrible pacing! I was yelling at my screen the hole time about all the shit they kept making up and skipping over. I feel like I could write a short essay on why everything they did was wrong. My lasting impression was simply, "Why did they have a hot air balloon on their escape pod in their submarine. And small planes, too. Why."

The one good thing they had was the awesomely weird faces they kept making when I would pause, because their animator decided it's wide as fuck eyes or bedroom eyes, and nothing in between, at all times. I would make silly icons out of so many scenes.

    I remember liking that movie when I was a kid with no taste. I also enjoyed Weiß Kreuz unironically. I guess I didn't ask a lot of questions back then.

    So are you ready to watch the direct-to-DVD sequel made of pasted-together episodes of the cancelled TV series? I'll bet you are!

      Fun fact, the sequel to Tarzan was that exact thing; basically a pilot to a cartoon series.

      But unlike Atlantis, Tarzan actually succeeded and it was a pretty good show.

        It wouldn't surprise me to learn this was the origin of pretty much every Disney animated movie sequel.

        I recall hearing the Aladdin TV series was pretty decent, though? My only memory of the sequels is the psychic scarring from hearing Gilbert Gottfried sing.

          Yeah, the Aladdin cartoon was quite decent. The Little Mermaid, however, kinda bored me as a kid, but that might have been due to the fact that I simply wasn't the target audience for it. x3

          I don't recall any more (successful) cartoons based on Disney movies, though: Tarzan, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid are about it, as far as I remember.
