Review: 'Atlantis' seems similar to Japanese quest story

Atlantis    The Lost Empire    PG    
            A weak indersea soggy mess based on a classic story, and Disney is responsible. It could have been a direct to video flick. Looks like it was hammered out by a boardroom, not an actual writer and director. And no, Atlantis was never said to be buried under seafloor. The only air down there would be the methane from all the dead Atlantians that perished thousands of years ago. But then again, this movie is like it was made of methane rich substances. Blatantly riffs Castle in the Sky at the end, but not very well. Castle creator Miyasaki sued Disney for this one, and they had to distribute his Princess Mononoke movie, or pay up.
