In the flash of a giant wave, the mighty kingdom of Atlantis disappeared into the sea. For hundreds of generations, the lost empire has remained hidden at the bottom of the ocean. Now a young man named Milo Thatch has discovered the secret of Atlantis, and a fantastic journey is about to begin. This greatly anticipated adaptation of Disney's Atlantis The Lost Empire features a cover by comics luminary Mike Mignola, whose artistic vision inspired the animation for the film. In this graphic novel, Mignola includes a special sketchbook section -- giving us a look at some never-before-seen designs from the production.

Amazingly -- an improvement on the movie,
By "disneyfan53" (Celebration, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Paperback)
Take it from someone who's seen the movie. Atlantis is very far down on my list of Disney features. But if you're wondering what exactly went wrong, I'd advise buying the graphic novelization. Obviously, the writer was working from an earlier draft of the script and elements from the movie that are completely perplexing on screen are cleared up in this re-telling -- especially in the final battle between Milo and the movie's villain. (My 8-year-old daughter actually commented on that fact after reading this adaptation.) Comparing the film and the adaptation tells a fascinating story about some of the last-minute plot meddling that may have happened to help save this doomed feature. I'd advise that any completist Disney collector should have both the movie and this adaptation on his or her shelf. I know Greg Ehrbar as the name behind some very handsome and well-told French-language Disney comic book adaptions that are available only in France. But, I'm afraid no one could have made this feature completely intelligible. Perhaps the film makers concentrated too much on capturing the style of Production Designer Mike "Hellboy" Mignola. I only wished that they had paid a little more to the one detail Disney usually does best -- story.

A great comic but nothing new if you've seen the film,

This review is from: Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Paperback)
This was a great book and adaptation of the film, but it is basically a carbon-copy of the film itself. Nothing new is presented within that was not fully explained within the movie. However, I consider it an excellent collector's item for fans of the film. The artwork in its own right is flawless and very well done. Bonus film production artwork with commentary by Mike Mignola at the end of the book was a plus.
