"...in
a single night and day of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared
into the depths of the sea."
--Plato, 360 B.C.
----------------
Carrots. Why is there always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots.
--Milo J. Thatch
----------------
The men need the four basic food groups.
I got your four basic food groups: Beans, Bacon, Whiskey and Lard.
--Helga Sinclair and Cookie
----------------
Hey, you dropped your d-dy-dy-dynamite. Heh heh. What all have you
got in there?
Oh, eh, gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue and
paper clips. Big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.
--Milo J. Thatch and Vinnie Santorini |

However, the plots of these two films are reportedly nothing alike.

| TRIVIA |
|
Michael
J. Fox was offered the lead voice-over parts from both Atlantis:
The Lost Empireand 20th Century Fox's Titan A.E. Reportedly,
he let his son Sam decide which film he would do.
Jim Varney (Cookie) died just before finishing the film. The "I
ain't so good at speechifying" line near the end is the only
line not spoken by Varney. 'Steve Barr (I)' did the voice for that
scene.
The car that Helga drives to Whitmore's mansion is nearly identical
to the one Cruella De Vil drives in One Hundred and One Dalmatians
(1961).
The Leviathan Graveyard contains ships from every Disney movie.
One of the Gargoyles from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) is
in Whitmore's library.
Marc Okrand, who created the Atlantean language, also created the
Vulcan and Klingon languages for the "Star Trek" series.
Originally, the final battle was to be only on land. The creators
had decided put the action in the air to create a more dramatic
sequence.
When the surface-dwellers first meet the Atlanteans, the Atlanteans
address them in French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, German, Greek,
Chinese, and Taiwanese. Milo speaks to them in Atlantian, Latin
and French.
At the tattoo parlor in the Atlantean city, there is a sign that
says "EAT FISH".
First Disney animated film since The Black Cauldron (1985) to be
given a "PG" rating by the MPAA.
One of the character names, Santorini, is also the name of an ancient
volcano in the Mediterranean that erupted with many times the force
of Mt. Vesuvius (and predated it by many centuries), devastated
an early civilization, and may have been an origin of the Atlantean
legend.
Because the movie was planned out as an action/adventure, the production
crew wore T-shirts to work that read "ATLANTIS - Fewer songs,
more explosions".
After Milo gets seasick on the first ship, his line, "Carrots?
Why are there always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots!" was
ad-libbed by Michael J. Fox.
Lloyd Bridges was originally cast as Whitmore, but he died shortly
after production began. |

Factual
errors
When Milo is rehearsing his proposal in the museum basement, he
rubs against the chalkboard and wipes the map he drew onto his clothes.
He then stands in front of the chalkboard and the chalk map on his
clothes matches the missing part of the map, when in fact it should
be a mirror image.
Continuity
In the beginning where Milo is leaving the basement to go up for
his meeting, he picks up all his maps, and has them under one arm,
but then when he picks up the picture of his grandfather, his hands
are completely free, arms empty.
Continuity
When the travelers first arrive at Atlantis, they all step in front
of the large "digger" machine to get a better look at
the city. Then we see a wide shot of the city and travelers and
the digger is nowhere to be found. |
