Trivia:

Like many of Disney's direct-to-video sequels, this was intended as the pilot for a TV series. This is evident by the episodic structure of the plot, which would be cut into three separate episodes for the show's regular run. However, due to the disappointing box office of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), production of the series was halted and the ending was rewritten to provide closure.

Goofs:

Continuity: The bundle Inga is carrying under her right arm (when she walks up the stairs) disappears when she turns to warn the group.

Quotes:

Kida: [being shown around the ship; she grabs a life belt] This! What is this?
Milo: Oh, that's a life preserver.
Kida: So... you wear it and it preserves your life? Like our crystals!
Milo: No, no, no; you throw it to someone in the water.
Kida: Oh, so it is a game!
Milo: No. You throw it to them when they're drowning.
Kida: Does that not make it difficult for them to play the game?

just enjoy the first one,this one has no excuse for its existence(other than dollar signs)shame on you,Disney

i wish i could find some good things to say about this animated sequel(but not really a sequel)to "Atlantis:The Lost Empire"but this would be a very short comment.the magic that the first one had is nowhere to be found here.the animation is pretty poor all over,the characters themselves are not very well drawn.the backgrounds and the foregrounds are also not good.there's very little attention to detail here.and instead of a compelling and engaging story,we have 3 short stories which are boring and don't make a lot of sense.i swear,even the characters sounded like they were bored,and would rather be somewhere else.which says that the voice actors were bored and wanted to be someplace else,at least that's the impression.some of the same actors return for this dismal effort,but an integral par of the success of the first one was Michael J.Fox as the main hero, Milo Thatch.i get the distinct impression this movie was just thrown together to capitalize on the success of the first one,without much thought or care.but at least Cree Summer returns as the voice of "Kida".that's probably the only good thing about this movie,and even she doesn't seem to have her heart completely in it.mind you,i guess you couldn't blame any of the cast for not giving their all,considering what they had to work with.or rather not work with.this is a straight to video movie(and i use the term loosely)which should have went straight to the nearest landfill.anyway,shame on Disney.consumers deserve much better than this.this one gets a 0/10 and a well deserved one at that.p.u
