Continuity mistake: In the beginning scenes, where Milo Thatch is practising his proposal, he slides over (face forward, chest against the board) a chalk drawing of a map detailing the location of Atlantis. When he realises 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.

I own this movie on VHS and I watched it again on Disney + with my son.
This is easily my favorite animated Disney movie, especially of that era. I was 11 when this came out, just the right age and it always stuck with me. I wish it got more love.
it's fun, it has adventure, it has a great believable villain, great characters, and a deep sense of adventure.
It's also kinda dark and mature for a Disney movie, especially their 2D films or of that era. With some down right almost horror worthy imagery. Yet it is also a beautiful world... and um. A very pretty girl. I mean pretty good! I swim pretty good!
yeah Kida was a big, and still is a big crush for me. In fact this movie is I think in large part why I have such a thing for dark skin girls with white hair. My kryptonite.
and now Atlantis is a major part of my own series I'm writing called Bleeding Edge... and in may ways this film has influenced me on how I see that ancient civilization and how it effects my own universe.
This is a must see Disney movie if you've never given it a shot. This and Treasure Planet are my top two animated Disney films.
Mistake Status: Oh I'd love to tackle this one at some point.

Helga Sinclair: The men need the four basic food groups.
Cookie: I got your four basic food groups: beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard.
Trivia: Originally, the beginning scene was different. It showed a group of vikings who were looking for Atlantis being attacked by the Leviathan. The makers thought it didn't fit in very well with the story once the characters got to Atlantis, so it was deleted and replaced by the scene of Atlantis being drowned.
Question: During the attack of the fireflies, with the bridge and the vehicles, especially the digger, crashing down, why weren't they strong enough to wake up the dormant volcano?
Answer: They weren't an explosive force of giant magnitude.
