(DVD, Walt Disney)
Young scientist at the Smithsonian at the turn of the century can't get funding for his expedition to Atlantis, but gets help from a wealthy old man who was friends with his grandfather. They build a submarine and assemble a crew for the journey. They have to abandon ship rather quickly when attacked by a giant mechanical monster guarding the entrance to the lost civilization, but manage to get in via escape vehicles. They are greeted by mask wearing natives, but are soon accepted. He helps the young princess decipher some engravings which hold the secret to the power of the underwater city, in ruins since a cataclysm a century ago. However, his crew rebels and he must fight to save the city, and win the heart of the princess. This animated Disney adventure is louder than most, with a hokey new age-ish crystal angle, but still manages to entertain.
