Atlantis (franchise)

Atlantis is a media franchise owned by The Walt Disney Company that began in 2001 with the release of the film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise from a screenplay by Tab Murphy and produced by Don Hahn. The film was based on the legend of Atlantis, first described in the works Timaeus and Critias by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.

The franchise consists of two animated films, Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and Atlantis: Milo's Return (2003), as well as several video games based on the first film.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a theatrical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios—the first science fiction film in Disney's animated features canon.

Atlantis: Milo's Return is a direct-to-video film and is a sequel to Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Originally, Disney was developing a theatrical sequel, but it was abandoned once The Lost Empire was less successful than anticipated. Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise were set to return as directors, along with Don Hahn as producer and John Sanford as story supervisor. According to Wise, the sequel would have seen most of the original characters return. The main villain was to be Helga Sinclair, who survived the events of the first film, was turned into a cyborg, and established a mercenary group to raid Atlantis.

The film was also meant to have a sequel animated series, Team Atlantis, which would have featured mythological and ancient elements such as Puck, the Loch Ness Monster, the Terracotta Army, and Demona, a character from Gargoyles. Because of the film's failure, Team Atlantis went unproduced. Its planned episodes were incorporated into Atlantis: Milo's Return, with additional animation made to link them.
