Summary: Same old, same old...
Review: The Disney formula is getting old. The hero, the love interest, the bad guy, the asinine sidekick and the troups. From Pocahontas, Aladin, Hercules, Mulan and the rest the recipe remains the same. Plug in a new environment & costumes and you have a "new" Disney movie. Disney must think the members of its audience are total gullible imbeciles not to recognize this fact. Among other grievances about this movie is the gratuitous violence: the guns, the weaponry, the bombs... In this particular film, the sidekick "Mole" is totally nonsensical, absurd and annoying. I would recommend to avoid this movie and instead, repeat your visits to "Shrek" if kids insist on going to the movies. Disney, give your audience some credit for having a little intelligence!

Summary: great film
Review: Folks, my kids loved it, so did dad. I think this is the best Disney film since the lion king. Lately Disney has produce movies with a lot of songs and no substance. This movie has substance, it has a story, it has action, and it has romance. Kids will like this movie because it keeps their attention. While, I think they could have made the movie a little long, this would have allowed Disney to lead a little better in to some of the story lines. But all around it is a darn good film. I am proud of Disney on this one. The only disappoint I had was previews before hand, there is a movie coming out can't remember who it was by, but the language for a preview, was not cool at all. My little one was say He!! Afterwards and had to try and convince her that it was a bad word. That could have been a little different not sure if Disney controls this or not. Because of the shortness, 4 stars...

Summary: Disney formula
Review: Disney took a good idea and made the worst of it. Combining elements from Raiders of the Lost Arc, STAR WARS, and Bay Watch, I wish I had taken the $34 we spent at the movies and bought some good books. The female heroine was a voluptuous, scantily clad girl. All of the other female characters were either very "butch". Milo was the typical glasses wearing, gaulky geek, that Disney has made famous. Realizing this was a fantasy I was prepared for a stretch in the story line, but Milo keeping his oversized glasses on throughout the whole movie, under water, dangling from a hot air balloon, and the escapes from falling down tunnels and off of bridges was just too much. This might be a good rainy day rental but I would encourage you not too waste your time or money on the big screen. The 10 year old boy I was with was not impressed much either.

Summary: Disney Done Differently
Review: This film was excellent. I went with my girlfriend, who is an artist. I'm a tech-head. The movie had elements of each, which makes both of us happy. :) If you liked "Titan A.E.", you'll definately enjoy this one. I enjoyed Titan, but my complaint is that Disney simply can't do space movies. It's not their thing. Mythical stories, however, are well within their realm. The art is beautiful, the CG work is beautiful, and the plot is very entertaining. The love story isn't overdone, but it has enough of a presence that my girlfriend and I were touched by it. It's a fun "feel-good" movie from Disney, and I recommend it to everyone, children and adults alike. About the only age group who *shouldn't* go would be the Jr. High to early High School range who haven't matured to the point where they can enjoy a "kids'" movie again.

Summary: Remember the Runes?????
Review: I can't believe the critic said something like "if the princess remembered the ancient civilization, why couldn't she remember how to read the runes..(or words to that effect)". Well dang it, when the civilization collapsed she was just a TODDLER...at least that's what *I* saw. And perhaps only the royalty and scholars read..they never went into that. Cramming all that into an animated feature was a neat trick. Animated stories aren't meant to be believable, only entertaining. And this was VASTLY entertaining. The art was magnificent and the background musical score was beautiful. There were some lighter moments with laughs, and some swashbuckling fight/action scenes. What more could you want? If you want believable, stick to the history channel. If you want to suspend belief and travel to imaginary places in style, and have fun doing it...this is the way to go! WTG Disney!

Summary: The Power Within...
Review: Fresh from the theater, I am going to tell you that I was absolutely impressed with Atlantis. If any of the animators are reading this review, Bravo to you!! They drench the screen in lights and darks. Bright colors vibrantly dance in every direction. I am just excited about this one. The marketing was great, but in no way was I prepared for what I saw today. Micheal J. Fox Does such a great job. When I learned of his sickness, I thought "why doesn't Disney snatch him up for one of their summer flicks?" Well Bravo again, to him. The girls are gorgeous, and Atlantis is stunning. It was a near-bomb at the box office, but the dvd sales have revived it. Worth owning.

Summary: Not a disney movie!
Review: Ok, I've seen alotta disney movies, and this one is like, totally different! Not the usual, but that doesn't mean it's bad, different can be a good thing! I loved this movie and I totally suggest you see it. I would like to know one thing, I didn't quite understand the end, and I think it is kinda hard for a 7 year old to understand it like that one person said.

Summary: Funny at times, but otherwise, a failure in my eyes.
Review: I had been waiting for over half a year for this movie to come out, thinking that it had a lot of potential. It did, but Disney screws up again. It just seemed very rushed. There was very little character developement, plot explainations, and it didn't even give you a chance to really like the characters. Had they had spent more time on it and given the characters more time to develope and interact, the movie might have evolved further. Instead, we are left with pretty unlikable characters and a million questions left unanswered. For one, how come is it that Kida's mother never came back, but she did? Was it really necessary that the mom had to go like that? (Hey, in Cinderella, the mom just died giving childbirth; that didn't leave any hard feelings.) To those who like this movie, no offense. I don't like movies that shoot forward in plot at the speed of light. I felt that this movie was rushed, unromantic, and not fully realized. To those reading this review who have not seen Atlantis yet, just ask yourself this one question: "Do I like movies that move along very quickly, or do I like movies that take things a bit slower?" If you said yes to the former, you will probably like this movie (my big brother did, anyway). That's all I have to say.

Summary: Diversity, Fun, Action
Review: Disney has really done a good job with this one! The cast of characters is truly for today's society and it works great. Yes I will agree that my 3 year old daughter probably could not follow the plot, but the characters are so enchanting and the imagery and music spectacular and the action adventurous that it really did not matter. The plot was for my 10 year old niece who also enjoyed it immensely. I read one reviewer who thought it was too scary. Scary?!? My daughter was afraid of the Grinch just 6 months ago, but never grabbed for my arm at this movie. They were asking if they could see it again and I only hope I get the chance to take them if they do instead of my wife!!
