Continuity: In the beginning scenes, where Milo Thatch is practicing his proposal, he slides over (face forward, chest against the board) a chalk drawing of a map detailing the location of Atlantis. When he realizes he wiped off the drawing, and sees it on his clothes, he stands in front of the blank part of the chalkboard, "filling in" the space with the map that rubbed off on his shirt -- the only problem is, that the image should have rubbed off BACKWARDS as he was FACING the board when it transferred to his clothes. He could not simply stand in the place of the missing map face forward and have it read properly.

Mistakes
When Milo returns from his underwater investigation with Kida to find his companions armed, we see Mole holding an old-style submachine gun similar to the Russian PPSh-41. But it's 1914, and the first submachine gun - the German Bergmann - wasn't invented or to be introduced - until 1918. See more...
Trivia
Similar to how "The Lion King" was accused of stealing material from "Kimba: The White Lion", this movie also has ties to another Japanese program of the same nature. Have a read about "Nadia - The secret of blue water" and you will see similarities between the sets, character designs and plots.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire trivia
During the sequence with the explorers' huge submarine submerging, one of the computerized "extras" can be seen waving at the camera. (He is seen through the lower window for only a second or two; use frame advance to view it or listen to the Visual Commentary on the DVD for specifics).
Voice actor Jim Varney (Cookie) died of lung cancer in 2000 before his recording could be finished. Cookie's farewell to Milo, "I ain't so good at speechifyin', but I want you to have this. It's the cookin' grease from the whole trip," is the only line that wasn't recorded by Varney.
