This sequel to Disney’s ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE offers further adventure, though this time the take place primarily above ground. Having rediscovered the fabled lost continent, young explorer Milo Thatch (Voice of James Arnold Taylor) helps Queen Kida (Cree Summer) to revitalize her underwater kingdom. Sea serpents threaten the waters over Atlantis and Kida believes her late father created the mechanical leviathans to safeguard Atlantis, but Milo must call on his former cronies for help. Preston Whitmore (John Mahoney), Audrey Ramirez (Jacqueline Obradors), Vinny Santorini (Don Novello), Mole Moliere (Corey Burton), and Joshua Strongbear Sweet (Phil Morris) offer to share their respective scientific specialties, while Kida elects to broaden her horizons by joining them for a tour of the world above. In their quest to dispatch the serpents, Milo’s team visits Norway, where the citizens of a fishing village have exchanged their souls for a profitable economy. Milo and his crew remove the supernatural jinx, incapacitate the monsters and liberate the townspeople, but are immediately drawn to another crisis: In Saugus City, in the American Southwest, a greedy entrepreneur has been enraging Native American spirits by pilfering artifacts. When Milo’s do-gooders finally restore the sacred possessions, Kida discovers that her people had visited these Indians eons ago. Having calmed Norwegian seas and Southwestern sands, Milo’s explorers face their greatest challenge: Professor Whitmore’s rival, Erik Hellstrom (William Morgan Sheppard), has stolen a mythical spear that could bring about the end of the world. Even if Milo’s intrepid bunch defeats Hellstrom at his floating fortress, can they ward off Armageddon? Featuring animation that isn’t much of an improvement over 1970's TV shows like Space Ghost, this kidflick coasts on its thrilling cliffhangers. Although these adventures mirror each other closely, the colorful characters are interesting enough to keep small fry entertained. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
