Loid: What’s Teddy’s story? Ana: Trust me on this one. You don’t wanna know. Ninten, don’t tell him. You shouldn’t have told me, but you did. And now I’m telling you… Ana: *points at Loid* You don’t wanna know.

The Venn diagram of "Disney movies that would probably make fantastic live-action adaptations" and "Disney movies that will never get live-action adaptations" is a circle and Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire sit right in the middle of it.

Mecha Max Shows Off What She's Got To Flug

[Max and Flug are hanging out at the beach with Chi Sage and Demencia keeping an eye out for them. 505 and Leppy are playing with one another. After a while of walking on the beach, Max wants to get into the water and she her clothes which has her bathing suit underneath. ]

Max (smiling at Flug while showing off her body): You do swim, do you not?

[Flug begins to feel flustered and stammers.]

Flug: Oh, I swim pretty girl... Pr-Pretty *good*, pretty good. Sw... Good. Swim good. Pretty good. I swim pretty good.

[He then himself gets out of his regular clothes and goes down to his trunks just so he didn't miss an opportunity to swim with the gorgeous scientist. Chi Sage just rolled his eyes while Demencia just giggled at how bad his game was. 505 and Leppy were just happy that they were happy.]

The Lost City + Empire of Atlantis

Another key thing within the Bermuda Triangle in my proposed idea for The Genie Team season 10 is the legendary Lost City of Atlantis.

Now the Lost City of Atlantis is deep deep underground underneath the earth’s crust, with the only entrance to it being within the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. Especially since in the beginning, Milo Thatch mentioned that Atlantis was on a continent somewhere in the mid Atlantic Ocean, and the Bermuda Triangle is within that region too…

(Credit for this map goes to Ninjamap on deviantart)

though as seen on this map, the Atlantean continent itself was likely east of the Bermuda Triangle.

Now as a little P.S.; Atlantis here is the same as in the cult Disney film; Atlantis the Lost Empire from 2001. Except the film takes place in the modern day rather than 1914. And it’d be a Genie Team movie. And here’s a history on Atlantis.

Sometime presumably before 100,000 BC, Atlantis was simply another civilization in the world and the Atlanteans were a normal race like any other at the time. One fateful day, a huge comet passed over the Earth. A single piece broke off and fell upon the landmass that was inhabited by the Atlanteans. To their astonishment, they managed to discover the great properties possessed by the comet fragment. Soon, they would use the fragment, which they called the Heart of Atlantis, as their source into becoming a more advanced civilization than any other before or since in history.

However, instead of using their new found technological powers for good, they exercised it to dominate other lands, establishing colonies all over the ancient world and subjugating the people there. They even settled an exploration colony on Skull Island, which was west of the Atlantean continent. The Atlantean Empire created a fearsome armada of flying machines called Martags, artificially-intelligent Leviathans that waged war with unmatched strength, and Gungnir, a powerful weapon. However, around 10,000 years ago, their hubris would become their undoing when an accidental discharge caused a Great Flood that threatened to wipe out Atlantis as a whole. The crystal that had fueled their technology and gifted them with extended longevity, would save a part of the city, though it would be buried beneath the waters and deep into the Earth. Though another huge force field also saved Skull Island and the island’s flora and fauna from the flood. Centuries afterwards, the surviving Atlantean colony on Skull Island soon disappeared, leaving only the buildings and machines, which became overgrown by the flora of Skull island.

Humbled by the result of their arrogance, the elder leaders of Atlantis, in particular King Kashekim Nedakh, decided to keep the crystal secret, even from its people, forever so as not to repeat their actions. Kashekim went further by ordering all of Atlantis' history to be destroyed and hid the crystal deep within the city through the throne room. Overtime, their past glory had been all but forgotten.

At some point, a shepherd named Aziz managed to stumble upon Atlantis. For two years, he secretly immersed himself of its culture, uncovering bits and pieces of its past, including the location of the Heart of Atlantis. Upon his return to the surface, however, he was considered a madman and subsequently sent to an asylum. While imprisoned, he would detail his journey in great detail, albeit in the Atlantean Language. His writings would become known as the Shepherd's Journal.

The Journal would pass through many hands over time, thus bringing the legend of Atlantis back into the consciousness of the surface world. Some considered it fact, others called it fiction, the discovery of the lost empire was nonetheless considered one of the greatest treasures all archaeologists strived to achieve.

And there’s this small yet noteworthy rumor that the Heart of Atlantis might have also been the creator of genie powers, but there’s no evidence that this mighta been the case. With the only clue being that when Robin Williams Genie was released from his lamp by Aladdin, he (Genie) said “10,000 years”, as well as “cosmic powers”. These two phrases are the only sort of evidence, but even then, it’s hard to tell.

Summary:

In academic circles Dean is known as just another Winchester consumed by the idea of the legend of Atlantis. After losing both of his parents and his academic reputation to the obsession, Dean is ready to give up, when one night he and his brother are invited to meet an old friend, Bobby. Bobby gives Dean an old journal with instructions on how to find the lost continent and tells them about an expedition arranged to look for Atlantis and an ancient, long-lost source of energy contained there.

Dean and Sam agree to join the adventure. The journey ahead is long and dangerous, and no one can predict what they will find at their destination or if they ever even manage to get there alive.

[kylesvariouslistsandstuff]

Long post warning, because I should use them more often:

I've been kinda buried, typical of me when it comes to the seemingly-biweekly hyperfixation, in the early 2000s Disney animated movies. Namely the pre-CHICKEN LITTLE movie, prior to the studio's switch to a future in CG movies. (With the encore of pair of PRINCESS AND THE FROG and the 2011 WINNIE THE POOH along the way.)

And I noticed, a lot of them, including a few non-Disney animated films from the period, have an almost deliberate "old-fashioned" bent to them. Now, Disney was never a stranger to period pieces when it came to animated features. Outside of the fairy tale and fantasy films set in dream-like worlds, places that exist in irrealities inspired by the real world and their respective source materials, you had more than enough films set in actual identifiable real-world places in past time periods.

For example, before going to straight-up dream worlds, ALICE IN WONDERLAND and PETER PAN from the early 1950s are clearly set in England. The former, Victorian-era England, the latter Edwardian. LADY AND THE TRAMP is somewhere in the Midwest, turn of the 20th century. It's in a state where the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ran through, for sure, as you can see a logo for it on a train car in the film. (Sidenote/tangent: The direct-to-video sequel, SCAMP'S ADVENTURE, seems to suggest that the town Lady and Tramp live in is actually in New England... But the B&O Railroad does not run through any New England region state. The furthest to the East it goes is New York state. It's possible that the writers saw Jim Dear nailing a Yale flag to the wall in the original movie, and assumed it was set in Connecticut. And the DTV movies are an EU sort-of situation when it comes to these movies.)

So those are three 1950s examples, you also had THE ARISTOCATS being explicitly set in 1910 Paris, THE FOX AND THE HOUND appears to be set down South right around that time. '90s Disney had plenty, too: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, POCAHONTAS, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, MULAN, TARZAN, to name a few. HERCULES goes to ancient Greece and mythology, ALADDIN is set in a fictional Arabian city, that one I feel is more on the dream-world level of - say - SNOW WHITE or LITTLE MERMAID, where the setting/time period isn't quite written out. This is why I don't tie myself in knots trying to determine where and when THE LITTLE MERMAID takes place. It's literally an amalgamation of different European and tropical locations, inspired by a story by a Danish author, and it has a Caribbean crab in it.

But no, early 2000s Disney is more specific than not! DINOSAUR is obvious, THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE is set in ancient South America (its Incan Empire setting originally had much more bearing on the story back when it was KINGDOM OF THE SUN, the movie that had gotten thrown out that this replaced), ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE takes place in 1914 - starting in Washington D.C. and then largely being set below the Earth thereafter, LILO & STITCH is present-day Hawaii, BROTHER BEAR is a post-ice age Pacific Northwest, and HOME ON THE RANGE is clearly set in Malaysia in 2177 A.D.

All joking aside, it's almost a string of movies like that... Except TREASURE PLANET, which is set in a fictional galaxy, full of fictional planets, and no sign of Earth, much like the STAR WARS universe. Yet, TREASURE PLANET's cosmic setting is 1800s pirates/high seas aesthetic meets spaceships and high-tech. After all, it *is* Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND, a story dating back to 1881 as a serialized adventure before it was made into a complete novel two years later. Just take out 1800s Europe.

Now, at one point, the 2004 release of HOME ON THE RANGE was going to be followed by a movie called A FEW GOOD GHOSTS, which was once known as MY PEOPLES. This project went through several title changes over time... A 2D/CG hybrid that was a magical Appalachian love story involving ghosts that was to be set in the 1940s. The movie would’ve probably been released in the summer of 2005 if all had gone well, as it was to go full-steam ahead by the time of its cancellation in November 2003. By that point in time, Disney execs had long made up their minds about 2D animation, and because this was to be made by the Florida unit… Well, BROTHER BEAR didn’t meet expectations at the box office out of the gate… No more Florida unit, no GOOD GHOSTS…

What a lot of these movies have in common is that they, as mentioned earlier, are seemingly much more old-school than the animated movies of the '90s *and* their CGI contemporaries.

The majority of these movies were released during the years when a new CGI movie was - 99% of the time - pretty much an audience hit by default (SHARK TALE and CHICKEN LITTLE individually outgrossed LILO & STITCH, for example), and that definitely hurt the perception of hand-drawn 2D animated feature films. It's been written over and over, so much theorizing as to why the majority of these movies failed to connect with audiences the way the newest Pixar or DreamWorks CGI film did... And sometimes, I look at some of this cluster of movies and I can only notice how weirdly out-of-time they are… Either too late to the party, or there well before it's even planned. Like, years in advance.

As such, most of these movies became cult favorites of the few people who did see them back when they first came out or when they debuted on home video. These fans are all in their 20s now, at the highest. Yesterday's flops, today's "what? This movie SLAPS! How did it lose money at the box office?”

The majority of the CGI movies made in the late '90s/early '00s are thoroughly modern in some way or another. If it's not the setting, then it's the attitude. SHREK, for example, is set in a mishmash ye olden dayes fairy tales & nursery rhymes Europe (the first PUSS IN BOOTS movie further confirms this, being explicitly set in Spain), but everything else about it is as late '90s/early '00s as you can get. ICE AGE… Literally in the title, yet the comedy and writing rings more Looney Tunes and modern humor. I was turning 10 when ICE AGE came out, so I was aware of what the sorta-kinda general attitude was circa early 2002. The humor in the movie matched that; it was cool for an adult in their 20s to check out the talking prehistoric animals cartoon and quote it.

Pixar is kind of out of the question, well, this particular early run of Pixar movies. The TOY STORY movies, A BUG'S LIFE, and FINDING NEMO all clearly take place in the present. Timeless present-day settings, where it's modern enough but not too much to date the movie in question. (How 'bout that line in BUG'S LIFE about "the twig of '93"?) MONSTERS, INC. is set in a fantasy world, but that too is modern day, what with the cars and technology and every other detail. Boo doesn't walk in out a 1930s human world, haha.

When it comes to pre-2005/06 Pixar, the one exception in this criteria is THE INCREDIBLES, which is set in a retro-futuristic 1960s whose technological advances are informed by the presence of superheroes in that world. And yet, it's not a movie that feels out of time, old-timey, dated. It uses the '60s influences to enhance, rather than trap the storytelling. It’s also curiously not set in any specific American location - much like TOY STORY 1 & 2, and A BUG’S LIFE. In comic book tradition, it’s set in the fictional Municiberg, which I can only surmise is somewhere on the West Coast. CARS and RATATOUILLE and UP, afterwards, would go back to present-day. WALL-E, the far future. BRAVE, in 2012, would be Pixar's first real period piece, a fantasized medieval fairy tale Scotland. That was their 13th feature…

And yet, there’s an air of nostalgia for a past decade in pretty much the majority of these earlier Pixar films… Which is a deep dive for another day, and others have already looked at that sort of thing. But, a lot of the movies made by the TOY STORY alumni (John Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich) in particular are very much rooted in the directors’ late ‘50s/early ‘60s upbringings… But not in a way that renders them "corny". At least, to audiences circa 2002, that is.

The 2000s, in general, were a much different time anyways. And it just wasn't the appropriate era to release a small cluster of old-timey movies. Made in what was seemingly perceived as an old and outdated medium, when 3D environments and characters were WOWING people left and right. I can see why most audiences just didn't take too well to a Jules Verne-style animated adventure that was probably - with its PG rating - too silly for anyone over the age of 10 looking for an action movie. Nor a very classic adventure movie-style space epic. Nor a cartoon Western that literally *looked* like a lost vintage Disney cowboy cartoon a la the 'Pecos Bill' segment of MELODY TIME and EVERY COWBOY NEEDS A HORSE. Nor a familiar wilderness adventure movie that recalled '90s "new age" vibes. If the Appalachian folk musical had come out when intended, I suspect it too would've been rejected for similar reasons.

It's no surprise that LILO & STITCH, set in the modern day and not at all old-fashioned like that, was the lone box office success here and - for a brief while - a major phenomenon once it was on video. THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE is snappy and modern and energetic, but that was impacted by its troubled production and the studio just dumping it. Its ludicrous legs at the box office and later video sales would prove that, people actually really liked that movie. The few people who saw it, that is. If it had been backed with a better campaign, that would've probably been Disney Feature's biggest movie since THE LION KING.

But it's those four movies... ATLANTIS, TREASURE PLANET, BROTHER BEAR, and HOME ON THE RANGE, that form this unique grab-bag. One that also includes DreamWorks' fairly edgy 2D-animated period adventures released around them, THE ROAD TO EL DORADO, SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON, and SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS. All of those lost money, too.

And they told these stories in ways that were incongruous with the times, when audiences wanted farting ogres and silly sloths and wacky Ellen DeGeneres fish. Maybe they all would've done better as thoroughly-CGI movies, maybe not… But it's a weird vibe across the films that I’ve noticed over the years. Quaint, in a way. Maybe it was “cringe” or whatever in the moody and edgy early 2000s, but today - with so much time having passed and the world ever-changing - it’s all rather charming.

Potential questions (and their answers):

What constitutes a Walt Disney Animated Feature Film?

All Walt Disney Animated Feature Films can be found here: https://disneyanimation.com/films/.

What is your favorite Walt Disney Animated Feature Film?

I will do you one better and list a top five in order: Treasure Planet (2002), Dinosaur (2000), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), The Jungle Book (1967), and Bambi (1942).

Do you have a least favorite Walt Disney Animated Feature Film?

I hate Peter Pan (1953).

How are you composing these reviews?

In the Google Doc I have been writing said reviews in I have typically been beginning with a simple introduction including the film title, year released, and current Rotten Tomatoes critic score. Then I continue with a summary of the movie, a critique consisting of my favorite and least favorite aspects of the film, and then a conclusion. The conclusion consists of the final score (out of ten), summary of point deduction, commentary on music, and whether or not the film passes the Bechdel Test.

What do you take off points for?

Bigotry, including an additional point for slur usage per slur used (yes, this is something that I find myself continuously taking points off for), consistent animation errors or poor art style choices, bothersome characterization, mediocre music, and/or not passing the Bechdel Test are typically what I take points off for. Although I sometimes just take off points at my leisure depending on what I do or do not like.

Why do you like Disney movies if they are so problematic?

Disney is a big part of my childhood. My mom is a bit of a “Disney Adult,” and her love for Disney animation has really inspired me and just makes me a happier person. I think we should enjoy the media when enjoy while acknowledging its history and negative impacts. Part of my enjoyment from these reviews is improving media literacy and encouraging people to think critically about what has been normalized through popular culture.

Why is your profile picture Kaa?

He is my favorite character from a Walt Disney Animated Feature Film, and my favorite Disney character overall.

What are all of the references on your account page?

My profile picture is Kaa from The Jungle Book (1967) as previously mentioned. My URL is derived from Make Mine Music (1946). The background art is from Sleeping Beauty (1959), and the quotes in my description are from Beauty and the Beast (1991).

Here are the sources for the images: profile picture, background art.

Will you do Pixar movie reviews?

After I finish my reviews for the Walt Disney Animated Feature Films I plan on reviewing the straight-to-DVD sequels and prequels. Afterwords, yes.

How many times have you been to Walt Disney World/Disneyland?

Walt Disney World - 98 and counting.

Disneyland - 0 :D

Atlantis: The Lost Civilization That Captivated Imagination

The legend of Atlantis, a mythical island said to have sunk into the ocean, has fascinated explorers, historians, and dreamers for centuries. First mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Atlantis is portrayed as a powerful and advanced civilization that ultimately fell victim to its own hubris. The story has sparked countless theories, investigations, and adaptations in popular culture, making Atlantis one of the most enduring myths in human history.

The Origins of the Atlantis Myth

Plato wrote about Atlantis around 360 BCE, claiming that it was a real place located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," which we now know as the Strait of Gibraltar. According to his account, Atlantis was a large island, larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined, characterized by advanced architecture, rich resources, and a powerful navy. Its inhabitants were said to be descendants of the god Poseidon, who had received the island as a gift.

Plato’s story describes how the Atlanteans initially lived in harmony with the gods and enjoyed great prosperity. However, over time, they became greedy and corrupt, leading to their downfall. In a fit of rage, the gods supposedly punished Atlantis by causing it to sink into the sea, forever lost to history.

Theories and Speculations

While many historians consider Atlantis a mere allegory for Plato’s philosophical teachings on morality and governance, numerous theories have emerged regarding its possible existence. These theories range from the plausible to the fantastical:

Location Theories: Some researchers have proposed various locations for Atlantis, including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and even Antarctica. The island of Santorini (formerly Thera), which suffered a massive volcanic eruption around 1600 BCE, has been suggested as a possible inspiration due to its advanced Minoan civilization and sudden destruction.

Geological Explanations: Certain natural disasters, such as tsunamis or earthquakes, could explain the sudden disappearance of a civilization. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius have led some to draw parallels with the Atlantis story, suggesting that similar events could have befallen a real civilization.

Cultural Influence: Some scholars argue that Atlantis is a symbolic reflection of the ideals and values of ancient Greece, serving as a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral decline. This view emphasizes the allegorical nature of the story rather than its historical accuracy.

Atlantis in Popular Culture

The allure of Atlantis has transcended its philosophical roots, becoming a staple of popular culture. It has inspired countless books, films, and television shows. Works like Jules Verne’s "A Journey to the Center of the Earth", Disney's animated film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," and the video game series "Assassin's Creed" have all drawn on the myth, presenting their interpretations of this enigmatic civilization.

Additionally, Atlantis has become a focal point for conspiracy theories and pseudoarchaeology. Some claim to have found evidence of advanced technology or ancient extraterrestrial influence in connection with Atlantis, despite a lack of credible scientific support.

The Enduring Fascination

The myth of Atlantis resonates with humanity’s quest for understanding and exploration. It taps into deep-seated themes of loss, ambition, and the fragility of civilization. The notion that a highly advanced society could vanish without a trace serves as both a warning and a source of intrigue.

Modern-day explorers and researchers continue to investigate the legend, driven by a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Underwater archaeology and advancements in technology have allowed scientists to explore ancient shipwrecks and submerged structures, reigniting the quest for Atlantis in the 21st century.

Conclusion

While the existence of Atlantis remains unproven and may ultimately be a fictional construct, its story continues to captivate minds and inspire creativity across cultures and generations. The tale serves as a reminder of the complexities of human civilization, the lessons of history, and our perpetual yearning to uncover the mysteries of our past.

As we search for answers, Atlantis stands as a symbol of humanity’s enduring desire to explore the unknown and to learn from the successes and failures of those who came before us.
