Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Director: Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise
Year: 2001
Stars: Michael J. Fox, James Garner (voices)
The last of the Sunday afternoon Disney movies I recorded, Dan was very definitely wanting to watch a Disney movie this morning. So this was the only choice!
I wasn't expecting a lot from this, having read some less than positive reviews. In fairness, it's certainly not up there with the Disney greats - Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Lion King and such. The plot follows Milo Thatch, a guy who wants to find the lost city of Atlantis and it's power source.
The story isn't bad - at least there is a story. It's just that the film doesn't have the extra bits (the great songs, the comic moments) that the best Disney films do. An acceptable distraction, but not a great movie.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
