rented Atlantis: The Lost Empire over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the product. i had sworn off Disney cartoons after Hercules, but i enjoyed this cartoon. no singing, no dancing
thank god. the script/plot was pretty good for a cartoon and some good voice work (Leonard Nimoy being a welcome surprise).
there were some departures in the Disney SOP, IMHO. plenty of people getting blown up and what looked like some computer CGI along with the standard hand animation.
worth rental for some pleasant diversion. not sure if kids will like it, but i did. 3 quacks out of five.
