Philip and Dawson revisit an ambitious attempt by Disney Animation to release a non-musical, action-adventure film aimed at older kids and fans of genre fiction. Patterned after classic historical adventure serials, which in turn spawned films like 'Indiana Jones' and 'The Mummy,' 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' seeks to immerse the viewer in a wondrous, fully-realized ancient world. Milo Thatch is a linguistics and cartography professor who guides a large expedition to the lost continent of Atlantis, now a ruined underground city. Due to ill-fated experiments to weaponize their secret power source, Atlantis is a shadow of its former self, but will this encounter with the outside world help restore this lost civilization? Correction Philip misremembers the Venus de Milo statue as missing her head, when in fact she is only missing her arms.
