Atlantis Planet is a 2005 American traditionally animated action-adventure film created by Walt Disney Feature Animation—the second fantasy science fiction film in Disney's animated features canon and the 46th overall. Written by Tab Murphy, Brian Pimental, Jeanne Rosenberg, and Alicia Kirk, directed by Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Ron Clements, and John Musker, and produced by Don Hahn, the film features an ensemble cast with the voices of Pete Dickson, Max Thieriot, Levi Marie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David James Elliott, Michael J. Fox, Lindsay Lohan, Patrick Stewart, Matt Dillon, Sinbad, Andrea Bowen, Brendon Baerg, Nicky Jones, Emma Thompson, Matthew Lillard, Grace Park, Anthony Ghannam, Phil Morris, Claudia Christian, Jacqueline Obradors, and Christopher McDonald. The film serves as a sequel to 2001's Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2002Template:'s Treasure Planet, and 1943's Bambi as it tells the story of a young cat named Ronald who gains possession of a sacred book which he believes will guide him, Bambi and his family, and a crew of adventurers to a planet containing the lost city of Atlantis.

Development of the film began after production had finished on Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and later after Treasure Planet (2002). Atlantis Planet was notable for adopting the distinctive visual style of comic book creator Mike Mignola and Halo: Combat Evolved lead artist Marcus Lehto. At the time of its release, the film had made extremely greater use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) than any of Disney's previous animated features; it remains one of the few to have been shot in anamorphic format. Linguist Marc Okrand created a space language specifically for use in Atlantis Planet, while James Newton Howard and Bruce Broughton provided the score. The film was released the same year as the release of Disney's first fully CGI film Chicken Little. It was the last traditionally animated Disney film until 2009's The Princess and the Frog.

Atlantis Planet premiered at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California on June 14, 2005, and went into general release on June 22. Released by Walt Disney Pictures, Atlantis Planet performed modestly at the box office. Budgeted at $110 million, the film grossed over $276 million worldwide, $95 million of which was earned in North America. Due to the film's poorer-than-expected box-office performance, Disney canceled a direct-to-DVD sequel, a spin-off film featuring character Helga Sinclair, four short films and a laser tag Go Kart attraction at its Magic Kingdom Park and also a Atlantis themed science center in Orlando, Florida. Atlantis Planet was nominated for a number of awards, including two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Film Soundtrack and eight Annie Awards, and won five including the 2006 Golden Reel Awards for Best Sound Editing.

Plot[]

A mysterious explosion sends a lava tsunami towards the city of Atlantis. During the evacuation, the Queen of Atlantis, Kida is lifted up into the heart of Atlantis, leaving behind her distraught step-daughter Kika. The crystal merges with Kida and creates a dome preserving the city's innermost district, and Atlantis teleports to its own world, Atlantis Planet.

Nearly 8,000 years later, in 2025, Ronald Dante — a marginalized linguist calico cat at the Smithsonian Institution – discovers the existence of The Star Shepherd's Journal, a manuscript containing directions to Atlantis on Atlantis Planet. However, his proposal to search for the Journal is rejected by the museum board. Twin fawns Geno and Gurri learn the pleasures as well as downsides of nature and their forest home. Their father, Bambi, watches over them and, at times, takes care of them while their mother is busy. One day, Gurri is attacked by a fox, but survives because a hunter shoots the fox at the last moment.

Ronald meets Helga Sinclair, who is revealed to have been revived as a cyborg, while Bambi and his family meet Natasha Leroy Mirage. Both Helga and Natasha introduce Ronald, Geno, Gurri Bambi, and Faline to Winston J. Whitmore, an eccentric millionaire who is the descendent of Preston Whitmore. Whitmore has already funded a successful effort to retrieve the Journal as repayment of a debt to Ronald's late uncle and Bambi's late mother, and recruits Ronald, Geno and Gurri with Jim Hawkins and Dr. Delbert Doppler, to decipher the journal and join an expedition to Atlantis Planet. Whitmore commissions the ship WD&RD Legacy on the mission. The ship is commanded by the feline Captain Amelia along with her stone-skinned and disciplined first mate, Mr. Hark, who is a friend of Mr. Arrow.

During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova and Geno secures the lifelines of all the crew members. As a black hole forms from the supernova, an unseen person secretly cuts Mr. Hark's lifeline, who falls to his death in the black hole. The ship manages to ride the shock waves to safety, and the crew mourns the loss of Hark while Geno is framed for not securing Hark's lifeline properly. Geno is later comforted by his father.

As the ship reaches Atlantis Planet, the second part of the expedition begins; the second expedition is headed by Commander Brock, who also led the Journal recovery expedition. The crew includes Helga, Natasha; and the old Atlantis crew: Vinny, a demolitions expert; Molière, a geologist; Dr. Sweet, a medical officer; Audrey, a mechanic; Mrs. Packard, a radio operator; Cookie, a chuckwagon chef; and several trained soldiers. They set out in the massive submarine "Ulysses", but are attacked by a mechanical Cyber-leviathan that guards Atlantis' entrance. The Cyber-leviathan is destroyed by Helga and Ronald. Following the JournalTemplate:'s instructions, they enter a cavern, but are soon attacked by Squid-Bats, and are dropped into a hole. Ronald and Gurri are attacked by a giant bug-like land beast, but they are saved by an Atlantean hunting party.

Eventually arriving at Atlantis, the expedition crew are met by Kika, miraculously still alive and young. She takes them to meet her father King Milo Thatch. Milo enlists Ronald, Geno, Gurri and Jim to help return Atlantis to Earth.

Production[]

Development[]

The idea of Atlantis Planet was conceived in August 1999 when Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Ron Clements and John Musker met up at a restaurant in Burbank, California. Trousdale and Wise were working on Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Clements and Musker were beginning work on their next project Treasure Planet at the time. The trio began consorting their ideas into one when Musker suggested that if both Atlantis and Treasure Planet were box office hits, they would work together on the project.

In 2001 and 2002, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet were released to unexpected box office success. As agreed, Trousdale, Wise, Clements, and Musker began to work on their first project as a group. Seeing Atlantis and Treasure Planet as a allies, the directors decided to do a crossover between both films. In 2003, Roy Conli estimated that there were around 1,035 crew members listed in the screen credits with "about four hundred artists and computer artists, about a hundred and fifty musicians and another two hundred technologists".

Like with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the filmmakers wanted to avoid the common depiction of Atlantis as "crumbled Greek columns underwater", said Wise. "From the get-go, we were committed to designing it top to bottom. Let's get the architectural style, clothing, heritage, customs, how they would sleep, and how they would speak. So we brought people on board who would help us develop those ideas." Art director David Goetz stated, "We looked at Mayan architecture, styles of ancient, unusual architecture from around the world, and the directors really liked the look of Southeast Asian architecture."

Language[]

File:AtlanteanA.png

The Atlantean letter A, created by artist John Emerson. Kirk Wise noted that its design was a treasure map showing the path to the crystal, "The Heart of Atlantis".

Main article: [Atlantean language|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantean_language Atlantean language]

Marc Okrand, who developed the Klingon language for the Star Trek films and the Atlantean language for Atlantis: The Lost Empire, was hired to devise the space Atlantean language for Atlantis Planet. Guided by the directors' initial concept for it to be a "mother-language", Okrand employed an Indo-European word stock with its own grammatical structure. He would change the words if they began to sound too much like an actual, spoken language. John Emerson designed the written component, making hundreds of random sketches of individual letters from among which the directors chose the best to represent the space Atlantean alphabet. The written language was boustrophedon: designed to be read left-to-right on the first line, then right-to-left on the second, continuing in a zigzag pattern to simulate the flow of water.

The Atlantean [A] is a shape developed by John Emerson. It is a miniature map of the city of Atlantis (i.e., the outside of the swirl is the cave, the inside shape is the silhouette of the city, and the dot is the location of the crystal). It's a treasure map.
―Kirk Wise, director[2]

Writing[]

Tab Murphy completed the screenplay, stating that the time from initially discussing the story to producing a script that satisfied the film crew was "about three to seven months". Several eliminated trials encountered by the explorers as they navigated the caves to Atlantis from Atlantis: The Lost Empire was used in order to reduce the film's budget, though some eliminated trials were still removed. The initial draft was 106 pages, much longer than a typical Disney film script (which usually runs 90 pages). Instead of cutting them, the production staff completely animated the sequences as the directors wanted to make the film at least 100 minutes longer than the usual time Disney films have (either 80 or 90 minutes). However, five of the sequences were cut after completion, setting the film at 101 minutes. The unused sequences are included in the DVD Extended Cut.

Hahn stated that the first animated sequence completed during production was the film's prologue.

Animation[]

The film was one of the few Disney animated features produced and shot in 35mm anamorphic format. During production of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the production team found a simple solution by drawing within a smaller frame on the same paper and equipment used for standard aspect ratio (1.66:1) Disney-animated films. Layout supervisor Ed Ghertner wrote a guide to the widescreen format for use by the layout artists and mentioned that one advantage of widescreen was that he could keep characters in scenes longer because of additional space to walk within the frame. This would later be re-used for Tsushima Rig and Atlantis Planet.

The film's visual style consisted of three art styles; the artwork of Mike Mignola, the comic book artist behind Hellboy; the original oil-painting backgrounds from the 1942 Bambi film; and the art style of Treasure Planet. The background-paintings were painted with "Corel Photo Paint", but some of the original oil-painting backgrounds from the original Bambi were scanned with a computer, and parts of these scans were re-used in the new backgrounds.

At the time of its release, Atlantis Planet was one of few Disney traditionally films notable for using more computer-generated imagery (CGI) than any other Disney traditionally animated feature. To increase productivity, the directors had the digital artists work with the traditional animators throughout the production. Several important scenes required heavy use of digital animation: the Leviathan, the Ulysses submarine and sub-pods, the Heart of Atlantis, and the Stone Giants. During production, after Matt Codd and Jim Martin designed the Ulysses on paper, Greg Aronowitz was hired to build a scale model of the submarine, to be used as a reference for drawing the 3D Ulysses. The final film included 362 digital-effects shots, and computer programs were used to seamlessly join the 2D and 3D artwork.

Casting[]

Voice casting began in June 2002.

Music and sound[]

Since Atlantis: The Lost Empire lacked pop songs, the crew operated under a rule they call the "60/20" audio law, which meant that the film should contain about 60% of score and 20% of songs.

The directors and producers re-hired James Newton Howard to compose the score for the film. Howard previously worked with Trousdale and Wise on the score for Atlantis: The Lost Empire and with Clements and Musker on Treasure Planet. Like with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Howard decided to have different musical themes for the cultures of the surface world and Atlantis. In the case of Atlantis, Howard chose an Indonesian orchestral sound incorporating chimes, bells, and gongs. The directors told Howard that the film would have a number of key scenes without dialogue; the score would need to convey emotionally what the viewer was seeing on screen. Bruce Broughton was brought in and tasked with doing a re-make of the original score from the 1942 Bambi film.

Gary Rydstrom and his team at Skywalker Sound were hired for the film's sound production.[3] Like Howard, Rydstrom employed different sounds for the two cultures. Focusing on the machine and mechanical sounds of the early industrial era for the explorers, he felt that the Atlanteans should have a "more organic" sound utilizing ceramics and pottery. The sound made by the Atlantean flying-fish vehicles posed a particular challenge. Rydstrom revealed that he was sitting at the side of a highway recording one day when a semi-truck drove by at high speed. When the recording was sped up on his computer he felt it sounded very organic, and that is what is heard within the film. Rydstrom created the harmonic chiming of the Heart of Atlantis by rubbing his finger along the edge of a champagne flute, and the sound of sub-pods moving through water with a water pick.[4]

Release[]

Atlantis Planet had its world premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California on June 14, 2005 with the cast and crew attending; a worldwide release commenced on June 22. At the premiere, Destination: Atlantis was on display, featuring behind-the-scenes props from the film and information on the legend of Atlantis with video games, displays, laser tag, and other attractions. The Aquarium of the Pacific also loaned a variety of fish for display within the attraction. Also, the film had its British premiere in Leicester Square on January 20, 2006.

Marketing[]

The film's first teaser trailer was shown before Disney's own Tsushima Rig, National Treasure and The Incredibles. Atlantis Planet was among Disney's second attempts to utilize internet marketing. The film was promoted through Kellogg's, which created a website with mini-games and a movie-based video game give-away for UPC labels from specially marked packages of Atlantis breakfast cereal. McDonald's (which has an exclusive licensing agreement on all Disney releases) promoted the film with Happy Meal toys, food packaging and in-store decor. The McDonald's advertising campaign involved television, radio, and print advertisements beginning on the film's release date.[5] Hasbro also released a line-up of Atlantis Planet action figures and toys.

Soundtrack[]

Main article: Atlantis Planet (soundtrack)

The soundtrack to Atlantis Planet was released on May 30, 2005. It consists primarily of James Newton Howard and Bruce Broughton's score and seventeen songs, by artists including; Martina McBride, Alison Krauss, Baha Men, Shaggy, Sugar Ray, Smash Mouth, D12, Busta Rhymes, Usher, Jamie Foxx, Rascal Flatts, Five for Fighting, The Black Eyed Peas, Anthony Callea and includes "Where the Dream Takes You", written by Diane Warren and performed by Mýa, "One Time" performed by Claudia Christian and "I'm Still Here" written and performed by The Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik.[6] It was also available in a limited edition of 20,000 numbered copies with a unique 3D album cover insert depicting the RLS Saga from the film. Concerning the promotional edition, Filmtracks said, "Outside of about five minutes of superior additional material (including the massive opening, "Atlantis Destroyed"), the complete presentation is mostly redundant. Still, Atlantis is an accomplished work for its genre."[7]

The UK release also features Atomic Kitten in the soundtrack of the movie.

Home Media[]

Atlantis Planet was released on VHS and DVD on October 25, 2005. The film was officially the last Disney animated film to be released on VHS with the exception of Disney Movie Club Exclusives. An Extended Cut of the film was released on February 7, 2006. It is the first and only Disney film to have an extended cut.

Reception[]

Box office[]

Atlantis Planet opened at #2 behind Batman Begins with $22,709,221 in 3,521 theaters in the United States and Canada.[8] The film closed from theaters with over $95,023,816 domestically and $181,123,000 from it's international release for a worldwide total of $276,146,816.[1] Responding to its disappointing box-office performance, Thomas Schumacher, then-president of Walt Disney Feature Animation, said, "It seemed like a good idea at the time to not do a sweet fairy tale, but we missed."

Critical response[]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 59% of 130 professional critics have given Atlantis Planet a positive review, with a rating average of 5.5 out of 10.[9] The site's consensus is that "Atlantis provides a fast-paced spectacle, but stints on such things as character development and a coherent plot". Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 based on 27 reviews from mainstream critics; this was considered "mixed or average reviews".[10] CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinema-goers gave Atlantis Planet was an A on an A+-to-F scale.

While critics had mixed reactions to the film in general, some praised it for its visuals, action-adventure elements, and its attempt to appeal to an older audience. The film was criticized for it's 155 minute length deeming it to be the longest full-length Disney animated film. However, praise went to Dickson and Gould's performance together as Ronald and Bambi. Roger Ebert gave Atlantis Planet three stars out of four. He praised the animation's "clean bright visual look" and the "classic energy of the comic book style", crediting this to the work of Mike Mignola. Ebert gave particular praise to the story and the final battle scene and wrote, "The story of Atlantis is rousing in an old pulp science fiction sort of way, but the climactic scene transcends the rest, and stands by itself as one of the great animated action sequences." IGN gave the film a 7 out of 10 saying "while it's not as unique as the first Bambi and Atlantis movies, it's animation style and a friendship between a cat and deer make it worth watching". Plus, IGN also ranked Ronald and Bambi's friendship #10 on it's Top 25 list of amazing Disney friendships. Rita Kempley of The Washington Post praised the film's cast, characters, animal relationships and combined animation, but strongly criticized it's use of recycle animation. Wesley Morris of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote positively of the film's approach for an older audience: "But just beneath the surface, Atlantis brims with adult possibility."

Other critics felt that the film was mediocre in regards to its story and characters, and that it failed to deliver as a non-musical to Disney's traditional audience. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C+ rating, writing that the movie had "gee-whiz formulaic character" and was "the essence of craft without dream". Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times noted the storyline and characterizations were "old-fashioned" and the film had the retrograde look of a Saturday-morning cartoon, but these deficiencies were offset by its "brisk action" and frantic pace.

Canceled related works[]

Atlantis Planet was meant to provide a springboard for a direct-to-DVD sequel entitled Shards of Chaos, produced at DisneyToon Studios, which would have presented the further adventures of its characters. However, because of the film's under-performance at the box office and Disney acquired Pixar in 2006, the sequel was canceled. In audition, Disneyland planned to open a laser Tag Go Kart attraction with an Atlantis theme with elements from the movie in Magic Kingdom Park. These plans were cancelled and later opened in 2013 with a Cars theme. Furthermore, Disney thought about opening a Atlantis themed science center in Orlando, Florida. This was eventually canceled afterwards following the film's box office disappointment and later opened in 2012 with a WALL-E theme.

A spin-off film called Helga Sinclair was scheduled to be released in 2007. It was suppose to feature an origin story about Helga being raised in Frankfurt and moved to a city where in order to stop a villain from taken over and make partners with James Martin. The spin-off was cancelled after the filmTemplate:'s under-performance at the box office.
