✨Atlantis is the most underrated disney movie to date✨
I keep thinking about these posts on tumblr.

I kind of wish disney’s ~weird period~ had lasted longer. Like all of a sudden we were getting these films like lilo & stitch and Atlantis and the emperor’s new groove and treasure planet and they were so fun and DIFFERENT. Just thinking about what the pitches for those movies had to have been like is so surreal?? A little blue criminal alien crash lands on a Hawaiian island and gets adopted by two sisters dealing with social services that teach him about the value of family. An Inca emperor gets turned into a llama and john goodman helps him get back to his palace and one of the bad guys talks to squirrels. Treasure island but in SPACE. Like, on the surface, the premise for these films seem so random but they all TOTALLY WORKED IN REALLY GREAT WAYS??? idk I just really miss that early 2000s spark of offbeat creativity in Disney’s timeline.

#what i really like about Helga are her proportions
#she’s thin but muscular and has some curves
#but she’s also tall which is unusual for an animated woman
#and her eyes don’t take up half her face
#and she has broad shoulders which i like
Thank you, creators of Atlantis.

For Atlantis, Disney needed a new language for the Atlantean people. To do this, Disney hired Mark Okrand, the man who also created the famous Klingon and Vulcan for the Star Trek series. In the Atlantean language, Mark Okrand’s main source for it’s roots and stems of its words are Proto-Indo-European,but as Okrand also described it as being the “tower of babel” or “root dialect” for all languages in the world, he also used ancient Chinese, Latin, Greek, Biblical Hebrew, along with many other ancient languages or their reconstructions. As such, you can actually learn to write and speak the language!
This film is so underrated it hurts.
ah this explains how they understood french and english so well almost instantly… better than the magical wind in Pocahontas that’s for sure
Let’s all just talk about Atlantis some more.
Please.

“Who are you strangers and where did you come from?”
(HALTINGLY & with a bad, very american accent)
“Who…are you strangers and….where did you come from?“
“Your manner of speech is strange to me.”
“I….travel…friend!”
“…I travel friend…
(impatiently) …You are a friendly traveler?"
(does anyone else love how she’s correcting his shitty atlantean LOL bbies ♥)
"So, my friend, I am a traveler!”
“You speak the language of the Romans!”
“Do you speak French?”
“Yes, sir!”

Favourite Audrey Ramirez Quotes
Audrey doesn’t get NEARLY enough love. It’s Edwardian period, yet she’s a genius Hispanic engineer who wears overalls, has adorably little meaty arms, doesn’t take any crap from boys, runs a mechanic business with her father and her sister is a prize fighter.
Cool Disney female characters don’t have to be princesses, folks.
Also she wears lipstick and has cute curly hair down to her shoulders. She isn’t all butch - she has little femme touches too. She defies the stereotype that you have to be one hundred percent butch to be good with machines.
There is so much good representation here, and I always squee over the whole package.
Atlantis was SUCH a cool movie with such an awesome cast of characters and this cutie right here is one of my favourites :D
Finally, this screen cap entertains me. Rourke's face makes me laugh every single time I see it.
Uh, here, have a gif. A large one, but I just love Rourke's expressions.

We were once a great people. Now we live in ruins. The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen.
Sorry, can we go back a second there?
Linking to a couple of locked posts, so unless you are a friend of salukfan, you won't be able to see them.
Watching Atlantis again today. Funny thing is, I never really get bored watching this movie.
A lot of it does go over my head - there are so many characters and backstories and backstabbing plots, but there is so much happening that I can never remember everything that happens, and thus, I never get bored of it.
Posting pictures again of the pins I bought for my mom :) Wondering if I should wait to give them to her for Christmas. I should have bought some more of the mermaid.
Looking for a gifset of Atlantis 2. Or a picspam or anything really.
I did find these two gifs. There are a lot more gifs and graphics of Pocahontas II. XD Sorry this post is a mess. Trying to understand this movie because Samantha mentioned it a few times.
