Movie Reviews of Atlantis - Milo's Return
Movie Review: Maybe Milo shouldn't have come back...
Summary: 2 Stars
In "Atlantis II: Milo's Return" we are subjected to a series of loosely sewn together pieces of Disney's quickly aborted "Team Atlantis" cartoon.Due to the bomb this was in the theaters, the "Team Atlantis" cartoon never made it to the Saturday morning schedule. But that was no excuse - Disney had to use the material they made for their stillbirth somehow...
Neither Milo nor Cookie have the same voices. It's doubtful whether even Disney could have come up with enough money to pay Fox to reprise his role in this sequel. The man that voiced Cookie passed away - hopefully before he could see this B-Grade monster fest.
In the first of the three stories, Milo and his "Team Atlantis" (most of the characters from the original Atlantis movie) have to stop a Kraken from destroying a small village.
Then, believe it or not, they all leave Atlantis to go to the American Southwest to tame a pack of Coyotes. Coyotes? I thought they could have come up with something more challenging than that...
Then to top it all off, it's off to Antarctica to battle an ice monster. I almost wish they had run into something a little more life-threatening, like Lovecraft's "Old Ones".
This reminded me a =lot= of the old "Scooby-Doo" mysteries, except with real monsters. You know none of the main characters will ever be killed, so there's no suspense at all.
Only recommended for Disney purists.
Movie Review: Only a Video Release
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this DVD. I do like Disney cartoons, but I'm also a big Anime fan. I did buy Treasure Planet, Spirit Stallion of the Cimmeron, and Spirited Away. I have a whole list of collections of cartoons, but I have to admit the original theatrical movie is much better than the video release sequal.First of all the characters look very different. For a 2 hour movie, they put three different adventures into it. They should have just kept the story to one big adventure. Also, I'm not too sure but the voice actors might also be different. There is definitely a lack of a evil villan in this sequal.
I would not recommend this dvd. I would prefer you buy the new release of Star Trek Nemesis instead. It just also came out at the same time.
Movie Review: This boat barely floats.

Ouch. I should have read the reviews before forking over the dough. I had no choice, really - the kids found it at the grocery store check-out. The kids liked it - they didn't notice that the animation was no better than 1960's Hanna-Barberra cartoons and that the story was 3 stories awkwardly stitched together. If you liked the moral theme of Atlantis, don't ruin it with this dumbed-down cartoony follow-up. The orignal Atlantis was a visually stunning masterpiece of animation almost in the league of The Lion King and Fantasia. This DVD is not nearly worthy of the Disney name ...Movie Review: A failed TV series...
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a compilation of 3 TV afternoon episodes which, after the brass at Disney TV animation viewed them, decided not to make any more, and release them on DVD after interstitial connections were made to sort of make them into a movie. Much the same track taken with "Belle's Magical World" and "Cinderella 2". When the studio execs judge that the three test episodes of a projected TV afternoon series aren't good enough to make it on TV, the DVD obviously won't be very good, either.Movie Review: Oh Please

First off, Atlantis was probably the worst movie in history and now Disney is making as sequel!? And I think Disney must have copied the name for the giant octopus because "Kraken" is Octopus in German.
