I haven't seen the movie, but, this seemed like a really fun story.

Milo know that Atlantis exists, but, can't prove it. Then he gets a chance to prove it. but, not everything might be as it seems. And he may have to wind up helping save Atlantis. It was definitely an adaptation of the movie and not one to one.

Even I could tell that even though I haven't watched the movie. Still, the art was fun, and the story kept me interested.

I feel like Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a cult classic, but I do not remember if I've ever watched the whole movie from start to finish...
Some parts of the graphic novel felt rushed, like some parts are missing.
Overall the art is nice, the story is good, I just wish it was a bit longer and more detailed.

The art is very good, looks like the movie. On page 32 Kida and Milos dialogue has been swapped. Kida should be saying "Oh there is so much to ask about your world!" and Milo should say "I have questions. too. how did all of this end up down here?" On Page 38 Rourke telling Milo he is going to count to ten and then saying "the heart of the Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king! this it it! we're in!" would be confusing as the reading doesn't have anyway of knowing that Rourke is realizing that the "eye" refers to pattern in the water leading them to discover the chamber with the heart. the comic makes it seem like Rourke just repeats the line Milo told him and boom somehow they are in the chamber with the heart, its confusing.

The comic is a decent adaption of the movie. Young kids will enjoy it.

This was a fun graphic novel to go along with the early 2000s classic. As a fan of the movie, I loved to getting to enter the world again by reading the graphic novel and seeing some of the original art. I think this is a great way to introduce younger audiences to the story. I do wish it was a little longer since the cuts between scenes/pages left a lot more questions if you hadn't seen the movie.

Thank you NetGalley and Papercutz for this arc!!

5/5 stars!

This was a fantastic adaptation of one of my favourite animated movies! I loved the use of lighting in this, the harsh shadows really added to the feeling of them being deep beneath the sea. The story was exactly like the movie, and I love the bonus concept art at the end! I loved this!

I haven't watched this movie, but my son really enjoyed it when he was little. I learned the the art style was inspired by Mike Mignola and having him draw the book was so nice. It was a fun story.

I loved the Atlantis movie when I was a kid so I knew I wanted to read this as soon as I saw it. It was exactly like the movie and brought back so many memories. Such a great movie and graphic novel. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the film. It made me want to rewatch the movie! Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the arc in return for an honest review!

This is a graphic novel version of Disney's movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire. It follows the movie well, but with lots of details left out. If I hadn't watched the movie first, I probably would have been a little lost. Overall, a good adaptation.

I'm always team more Atlantis content. The best part of this was the art design concepts in the back, other than that it was basically a frame by frame of the movie, it didn't really add or take anything. If that's what you're looking for though, then this is it.

This graphic novel hits every beat on the important scenes of Atlantis, one of the underrated and classic Disney movies of my life.
The art design is true to your memory and keeps the charm that the movie gave us.
A great way to remind the next gen, what a incredible story this was.
