The fabled lost city of Atlantis, an interesting and mysterious place and does this movie do it justice? Yes it does. It wraps magic around the mystery of Atlantis which feels plausible enough. The story doesn't take long before getting into it, fifteen minutes after the opening and the team are already heading off. This is good news as the character introduction and mundane life of Milo wasn't that interesting anyway. The way into Atlantis was good, providing a balance between natural obstacles and more fantasy based ones. It's easy to tell what the plot is going to be though and that there will be some antagonists. That said, apart from Milo and Kida, all the supporting characters aren't very likeable or have much characterisation. There wasn't too much humour (or humour that worked) so it can get boring at times. The phenomenon of Atlantis also wasn't fully fleshed out and felt like a missed opportunity. Overall, an enjoyable animation but doesn't have much "soul" in the story, it's lacking the hook that compels you to watch it again and again.
