Funny thing, there was going to be a REAL Atlantis 2 called "Atlantis: The Shards of Chaos". It was canceled due to the first film's poor box office performance. Milo's Return was going to be a TV Show called "Team Atlantis" where the group would travel the world battling Myths and Cryptids such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the Terracotta Army..... AND a Crossover with Gargoyles!?..... Whoa!

[@MrGabeanator]

oh man

[@aguynamelex3146]

That would have been awesome

[@MrGabeanator]

@@aguynamelex3146 ik

[@AMPMASTER10]

Such wasted potential

[@MrGabeanator]

@@AMPMASTER10 its sad

[@MrBKainX]

The tv series was going to be called "Team Atlantis", but it was cancelled because of the first film's low box office. "Milo's Return" is in fact the result of forcing together three of the episodes they had already done most of the work on. Interestingly the series was planned to have a Gargoyles crossover.

[@103035icle]

MrBKainX they need to focus more on the movies first and then make a series if its successful.

[@GreebleClown]

MrBKainX And that would have been amazing!

[@dracocrusher]

That's crazy, but given this show had a fucking Lovecraft episode as the first story that combined Innsmouth with Cthulu being responsible for destroying Atlantis, that makes so much fucking sense! It could have been so cool to see them dealing with something so purely magical and figuring out how it all ties together. Man, I wish this show had taken off! There's just so much potential!

[@lwanco1018]

I'm not gonna lie, I kinda want to see the characters from Atlantis meet the ones from Gargoyles now.

[@Tytoalba777]

It seems like a ream good idea for a show, but did the name really have to be "Team Atlantis?" It sounds like some cheesy show for 4 year olds

[@MegaSoulHero]

Belle's Magical World, Cinderella 2, Tarzan & Jane, and now this

[@rhymesworthadime9555]

Don't forget the Aladdin sequels!

[@thesharpestofthorns___9132]

MegaSoulhero Aladdin 3 wasn't that bad.

[@cinephile9885]

MegaSoulhero, Aladdin 3 is ok

[@RhythmGameAddict]

OP's talking about 3-episode "movies" made from the table scraps of abandoned shows. The Aladdin movies were intended as feature length from the beginning: their connection to the (un)abandoned show was that they basically functioned as pilot and finale.

[@waddupjd]

I made the exact same comment on the Tarzan & Jane review

[@geekcultureandmovieLover]

I don't think Doug will survive for the next disneycember after seeing so many shit movies. Good job people, you killed Doug lol

[@jacobmonks3722]

Not quite, Zootopia has yet to be reviewed, and it is honestly one of my favorite Disney movies. It teaches you why prejudice and discrimination is wrong and that anybody can do anything they set their mind to. It's awesome.

[@ArynBacklogDragon]

mounir maged oh oh come on he has been watching crap movies for a living for years I'm sure he'll be fine

[@geekcultureandmovieLover]

OttoeCamn Seeing how he was in this disneycember, i doubt it.

[@geekcultureandmovieLover]

+Angel Castaneda A hard living

[@DigiRangerScott]

"The voice actors are all replacements" CREE SUMMER VOICED KIDA IN THE FILM TOO

[@jtothepmoreno1010]

Scott Sandler Penny for your thoughts??

[@HeavenlyHalberd]

+Jean-Pierre Moreno Hi Chopper. :D

[@cinephile9885]

Adam Poole, Varney passed away before the first Atlantis was released.

[@KinakoIshiyama]

Yeah, I was sad Michael J. Fox didn't return, but I can understand why he didn't.

[@gamefan6219]

@Kinako Ishiyama Hearing Milo voiced by Johnny Test (AKA James Arnold Taylor) made me cringe so hard.

[@NinjaRed5000]

I find it hilarious how this was supposed to be a pilot for a tv series that was NEVER MADE.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

NinjaRed5000 Not sure why you find that hilarious, since hundreds of pilots get made every year for TV shows that never make it beyond the pilot phase.

[@NinjaRed5000]

TackyRackyComixNEO I guess it's because the original movie is not very good and they still decided to make a movie-tv pilot and STILL fail

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

***** I mean, I'd say the movie's great, but that's just me.

[@dracocrusher]

The weird thing is that I actually really wish this did make it as a TV show. The stories aren't AMAZING or anything, but the idea of just going through all these different mythologies from Lovecraft's mythos to meso-american spirit wolves to Norse myths and seeing how it all connects together with this Atlantian world and their technology and how all these ancient cultures have effected eachother and Atlantis is honestly super interesting! Again, it's not anything mind blowing, but considering this was probably going to be a Disney cartoon, there's so much potential there to work with and make something really cool out of. What if other literary works were also actually a part of history or what the heck was up with the Egyptians or the Myans or the mythologies of India or China or Japan and how do they tie into everything and what parts of their stories are becoming relevant? It's not an amazingly new concept, but this could have been something really cool and great if given the chance but, instead, it's just sort-of stuck as a failed makeshift movie.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

dracocrusher Personally, I don't necessarily care so much about the mythos, I just think it would've been fun to see more interactions between the characters, since the cast was pretty aces.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

its a shame this never became a show I would've watched it. also it would've been the 2 animated show about Atlantis. want to know what the first one was?

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

what's the first one?

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Brandon Martinez Nadia and the secret of blue water

[@Arthus850]

virus4812 I do. I'm trying to think of any other show that involves Atlantis, and the only ones that come to mind are Stargate Atlantis, which isn't animated, and Transformers Cybertron, which has the Autobot starship Atlantis, and I highly doubt that's the show you're talking about.

[@Arthus850]

Wow. And I call myself an anime fan. I've never heard of this show. But it looks great.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

virus4812 never heard of it

[@SwiftGundam]

Fun fact: there was plan to have this cross over with Gargoyles by having Demona and how there was a whole clan of Atlantean gargoyles before the city sunk. That would've been the highlight for me.

[@racionador]

my god this is amazing how this never worked?

[@SwiftGundam]

From what I gathered, they couldn't make it in time for the release. Seems Greg, creator of Gargoyles, pitched the idea to late and couldn't make it. At least that what I get from the notes. To bad since they even got Demona's original VA to reprise the role.

[@JetJenkins]

The first "episode" looked like some Lovecraftian shit, which would have been amazing.

[@Adain878]

I remember watching this and thinking the exact same thing. Had some real potential.

[@MagusMarquillin]

You know, for kids! Not that Adventure Time, Real Ghostbusters, and Conan the Adventurer haven't already gone there.

[@luketfer]

Yeah I remember watching this and the first 'episode' got me really hyped that we'd be seeing something Lovecraftian...only for it to end... At least with Conan he sort of exists in the same universe as the Cthulu Mythos (seriously the two authors were friends and there are subtle references to each others work in their books) so it makes sense for him to be dealing with 'Elder Things'.

[@MagusMarquillin]

luketfer Yeah, it's appropriate for Conan. But, does it make since for Conan to be made as a kids show? I suppose I haven't watched enough of it to say. Adventure time or Gravity Falls get into that disturbing area a fair bit, not that they aren't great shows and not that kids can't usually handle dark themes - It's just kind of funny standards: no boobies, no blood (if it's red) or on screen death, but hinting at a cosmological/existential horror? That's popular, have at it!

[@luketfer]

Magus Marquillin The 80s and early 90s seemed obsessed with turning films aimed at adults into kids properties. You had the Aliens toyline (and cancelled cartoon show), the Robocop and Toxic Avengers cartoon series...both from products most definitely not aimed at kids (especially Toxic Avenger). I think thats why we see kids shows use Cosmic Horror because you can still scare the crap out of people without relying on blood.

[@Evilgidgit4Ever]

Actually, only Michael J. Fox was replaced, unless you count Jim Varney too since he passed away. All of the original cast returned.

[@doomdemon1205]

Evilgidgit4Ever yeah, Jim Varney was technically replaced.

[@Zuyuri]

The sad thing is an Atlantis TV would have been fun!

[@Porky7805]

Then watch Nadia.

[@Isilranna]

Yes, this was going to be a TV show, an AMAZING tv show called Team Atlantis, done by GREG WEISMAN the creator of Gargoyles. There was even going to be an Atlantis/Gargoyles Crossover where they run into Demona in Paris! The worst part of this? It was sooooo close to being finished when it got cut off, like the majority of the episodes were already voice acted, including the gargoyle crossover one and they actually got Marina Sirtiss to replay her role as Demona! It WAS GONNA BE SO EPIC!!!

[@Isilranna]

Its so sad because this show had so much potential! cries

[@mbanerjee5889]

Yes Doug, this was a cancelled tv pilot.

[@user-yw6yr6vu4l]

Canceled whyy I missed this show 😢😭

[@douglasallar9176]

I know.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

Yet another cancelled tv show that was just made into a movie, that's 3 disney movies this month based on cartoon shows

[@Shade2800]

I think this is the last one of these types of movies. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

***** this is the last type of movie i'm aware of that's just cartoons made into a movie. If the critic does Buzz lightyear of star command then i would say that's a pilot to a tv show that happened

[@jaygriffperiod85]

There would have been another one of Treasure Planet if they started animation. The sequel for Atlantis was probably too far ahead when the film was released to cancel it.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

ECKohns How did i forget those? I have those movies and i watched them all the time as a kid

[@megamike15]

buzz lightyear is more like return of jafar. expect unlike jafar they actually incorporated it into the actual show as a 5 parter. but they replaced tim allen with his show actor for that.

[@MythicSuns]

I'm just waiting for Atlantis III: Milo Discovers Rapture

[@firedirt6128]

ikr. hopefully he meets andrew ryan.

[@MythicSuns]

Hλlf-Life Pro question for Disney: would you kindly make this a reality?

[@tripp9552]

Ben Knight then he finds Colombia

[@violenceisbad6705]

Plot twist: Milo is a big daddy.

[@joeyjojoshabadoo2508]

Ben Knight Not as hype as Atlantis IV: Wrath of R'lyeh

[@MJTRadio]

Apparently not only were there plans for a TV show, it was supposed to crossover with Gargoyles at some point.

[@joshuameasimer7708]

A crossover penned by Greg Weisman himself, no less.

[@HeilRay]

I want to visit the world where that is a hit.

[@jrighodaro]

This movie was just three episodes of an abandoned tv show called "Team Atlantis", so Doug was right.

[@Canemikat]

Whoa an Atlantis tv show would have been really cool, with all the stuff relating back to Atlantian artifacts. I would have been so on board for this!!!

[@Omeganed0]

I would loved an Atlantis TV series. At least then we could say this mess lead to something good.

[@rcfrandsen]

Positively Dreadful Get this, if the show was green lit, there would’ve been an episode where the crew meets Demona from Gargoyles. I shit you not, look it up!

[@Evilriku13]

The firt "act" of the movie strongly reminds me of H.P. Lovecraft & Cthulu

[@peterwayne3571]

Especially shadows over insmouth

[@SonicTheJackrabbit]

Honestly, having an Atlantis animated series could have been pretty badass if it were in the right hands. Too bad they fucked it up. :T

[@omniviewer2115]

The first third of the film is inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos? Who cares what the rest is like? Lovecraftian Disney is something I NEED to see!

[@izzy1221]

A few more of these bad Disney sequels and we'll be getting Nostalgia Critic videos from the mental institution. Poor Doug.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

Isagail Carshuen they're not bad enough to literally drive someone insane dude

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Isagail Carshuen Remember, he liked 101 Dalmatians 2

[@deer5319]

Isagail Carshuen oh no

[@coruscant100]

It's a shame that Atlantis never got a TV show. I enjoyed the movie and would've loved to seen a show based on it. There was so much they could have done with it.

[@PhoenixRising87]

An Atlantis TV series could have been awesome! I really wish the movie had done better; it was *way* ahead of its time.

[@joeyjojoshabadoo2508]

ElectricMayhem87 (Ashleigh) It was fun and underrated. But that it was not

[@ThePreciseClimber]

I also wish there was a Treasure Planet TV series. Both had some potential for serialized storytelling.

[@checkmate4004]

Treasure Planet is just supposed to be a retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, so even if people wanted it, I don't believe it would happen.

[@anone.mousse674]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@cinephile9885]

Anon E. Mousse, me too

[@MrUsoutlaw]

Atlantis: The Lost Empire was also meant to provide a springboard for an animated television series entitled Team Atlantis, which would have presented the further adventures of its characters. The series would feature episodes with different legends incorporated, such as Puck, The Loch Ness Monster and the Terracotta Warriors. One of the episodes of Team Atlantis that was never animated entitled "The Last" featured an appearance by Demona from Greg Wiseman's previous Disney series Gargoyles and served as a pseudo-crossover between them. However, because of the film's under-performance at the box office the series was not produced either. On May 20, 2003, Disney ended up releasing a direct-to-video sequel film called Atlantis: Milo's Return, consisting of three episodes planned for the aborted series, with some additional animation done to link the stories more closely.

[@CecilyJisi]

I am a huge fan of the original film, and I despise this train wreck.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

wait..........DOES THIS HAVE INNSMOUTH IN IT!? Man, now i kinda wish this show actually happened, cause there's some Cthulhu shit going down here. I'm shocked you didn't pick up on that Doug.

[@TheLagiacrus1]

ShadowWolfRising Kinda. Yeah. it's a real shame, I would have loved to see this develop into a full TV series, with the characters constantly investigating these Lovecraftian mysteries. it looks like that was their intention

[@HolyDemonRune]

Oh my fucking god! That would be fucking amazing! ... I kinda want to watch the movie now; to find out.

[@ithrilzyne4542]

ShadowWolfRising don't forget Hastur

[@NinjaTyler]

ArtoriusaurusRex apparently the creator of gargoyles worked on the pilot and intended the two shows to heavily cross over, fuck I'd have given them all my money to see that! Atlantis teaming up with gargoyles to fight cthullu

[@asgth6147]

that is just a norwegian place called "trondheim" and the creature is a giant squid (or octopus, can't remember) called a "kraken", no H.P. lovecraft

[@LowPonView]

Doug's reaction to this is exactly what I expected, but it doesn't matter this is the one Disney sequel I can never hate. Even if it is nostalgia blindness, you know what who cares. I literally watched this yesterday to see if it still held up for me more than ten years later, and man were there so many things I remembered, smiling through it all. Definitely the biggest flaw I was bothered with was the pacing, (not to mention ever time Milo speaks I can only hear Johnny Test) but it was such a fun three adventures with every character playing a part. In a way it was very similar to an old show I watched "Martin Mystery" which has also held up for me. I don't know corny dialogue has never deterred me, because as long as you have interesting characters and engaging stories no matter how random and strewn together that's was enough to keep me hooked.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

if only it had become a tv show it would have been awesome

[@TheDiablowolf]

Is it wrong that I absolutely adored this as a kid? It introduced me to the kraken (one of my favourite myths) and I still watch it from time to time, even now

[@daneyal7162]

I remember being so hyped that there was a sequel to my favorite Disney movie (it was in times before I realised how all the disney sequels aren't really good), so when I saw it, I was so happy, that only after some more times, did I started noticing the flaws of Milo's return. However, one thing this sequel DID do well in my opinion is to develop Kida's character.

[@nikosafer1]

I the only one who like this sequel?

[@michaelwolfe9496]

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I remember liking it.

[@spiderboy43]

Probably. As a fan of the first, I watched this one and when it was over, all I had to say was "Wait, what? That was it!? What the fuck!?" It should have been made into a full on series.

[@roblynch2810]

nikosafer1 I like it for it's mike mignola feel

[@HappyHauntsMaterialize]

This could've been a pilot or something disney had done to test if anyone would want something like this on TV.

[@Nunubotz2]

pretty much yeah

[@briandaaranda9735]

Yeah, it's kind of like Disney just went with the "by threes" rule and butched it up... badly.

[@cinephile9885]

Brianda Aranda, yes

[@TheMoviePlanet]

Is Doug averse to googling? He doesn't need to "guess" it was supposed to be a TV show, the information is all readily available out there. Oh, and the voice actors are not replacements except for Milo and Cookie.

[@silverbrumbyfan]

Its about reviewing the product based on the product alone, you shouldn't have to look into its background to decide whether this is good or not

[@TheMoviePlanet]

silverbrumbyfan I'm not talking about "deciding whether this is good or not".

[@silverbrumbyfan]

And I'm looking at this from a reviewers point of view, you review whats in front of you and shouldn't have to do extra research to justify Disney's decisions

[@Painocus]

silverbrumbyfan: That's dumb. 1) A review is supposed to be informed. That's why it is called an "informed opinion". 2) No review is done in an information vacum anyways. 3) Why should he not look into production info he is curious about just because it is a review? 4) The way he talked made it seem like there was no information available when there is. A review should ideally not spread missinformation. 5) He had looked into production details on some of the other films, so if he was following your logic (which I doubt) he whould be a hypocrite.

[@peter-sw1pm]

Everyone in this thread should touch some grass

[@DavyEddyBenny]

Fun fact: some time ago it was revealed a storyboard that involved Demona from "Gargoyles", so Atlantis and Gargoyles in one same universe, that would've been nice

[@ShadyDoorags]

2:31 Careful Doug, you're Nostalgia Critic is showing.

[@AlterationA]

Well, as we saw in The Review Must Go On, they're mostly one and the same, they just inhabit Doug's body at different times. There's a story there somewhere, I'm sure of it

[@JMDarkly1]

I loved that first story of this 'movie'. It had this really cool Lovecraftian feel to it, like they were just skimming the edge of some other worldly horror. I wish they would've continued with it.

[@awesomeinspector5270]

Damn I wished this was a show. I liked this as a kid (put down the pitchforks). I enjoyed them exploring the mythos and history of Atlantis and how far it influenced the world. In fact, they were supposed to explore things like the Loch Ness Monster and Terracotta Soldiers. That would've been so cool. And it was also going to do a crossover with GARGOYLES.

[@cinephile9885]

Oh boy. Another Pilot episode.

[@rivalflash4569]

D'aww, you guys did THIS movie on my birthday? I loved it back when it came out!

[@taffyadam6031]

Man I loved this so much as a kid! It explains why I love SCP and all those type things!

[@DigiRangerScott]

Where did Milo return to if he was living in Atlantis with Kida? Also I think the Leviathan would've made a good feature length story

[@cinephile9885]

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

Scott Sandler He returned to the surface.

[@honoredcur4812]

Honestly this I don't understand WHY it didn't become a show. It was pretty interesting and could do with an episodic show with an over arcing plot.

[@SheetsInc]

I really liked this and actually a lot of the voice actors did come back for this

[@jonathantefft2902]

I love Atlantis: The Lost Empire and really wish that it did better with critics and at the box-office. If it had succeeded I would have really liked to see a tv show based on it since they did such a great job creating a unique world filled with great characters. Seeing these characters go on a new adventure every episode could have been awesome!

[@ToroFox]

A lot of Voice actors from Gargoyles were in it.

[@CarozQH]

The animation in this is sooo painful... The first movie was beautiful, but this?!

[@aldanavargas1207]

I recently just watched the first one and I was watching the second one right now but I couldn’t help myself and stop watching it because of the poor animation :(

[@pharoahcaraboo9610]

I really liked this one as a kid. The first third was definitely my favorite, and I remember being genuinely frightened at the krakken and the spooky mystery of the town. I enjoyed everything else too, but it's been ages since I watched it. I should watch it again tbh.

[@darkfeeling97]

I adored this and the first film as a child. Atlantis and Lilo and Stitch were definitely my favorite Disney franchises as a kid.

[@TheGhostgodzilla]

If the entire movie was Just about an extended version of the first third It would've turned ok

[@chroniccynic8459]

The first part of this movie is what sparked my life long fascination with the lovecraft mythos! So it'll always have a special place in my heart for that!

[@AGrayPhantom]

That first story had a The Shadow Over Innsmouth feel! Cool!

[@GayLatinoBear]

Doug, you should do an editorial on what animated movies you want to see in a real life remake

[@micahhirsh8458]

I would do a list of my own personal choices... but it would be blank because I don't want any. make an original live action movie don't rob from Disney's legacy of animation.

[@GayLatinoBear]

Micah Hirsh So the beauty of Jungle Book or Pete's Dragon or the upcoming Beauty and the Beast should be ignored? Ok then

[@ethanhatcher5533]

The original Atlantis would be pretty damn cool as a live action remake, and that's really the only I would see

[@TwilightTheCabbit]

This one kind of makes me sad because, even though I've never actually seen Atlantis, this looks like it could have been a pretty good show. The animation looks super cheap and lazy, at times, but the plots sound pretty intriguing. It could have probably been right up there with the other Disney animated shows based off movies. Those were all pretty good, so I imagine that if this one had been picked up, it could have probably ended up being really good.

[@antifagoat6591]

I'm no fan of "Atlantis: the Lost Empire" but if you like the premise of the show that never happened you should watch the film. It at least looks cool.

[@chebrotzman]

I honestly liked this as a kid. Looking back it doesnt make sense chronologically but it was still fun to watch after loving Atlantis so much.

[@bookworm13x]

I loved Atlantis! This movie and Anastasia, alongside the Rescuers, are like my favorite underground Disney films.

[@abear2874]

Anastasia isn't Disney.

[@bookworm13x]

Really? I could have sworn it was.

[@cesarjimenezanimator]

bookworm13x That's because they used the Disney STYLE to make you think it was Disney. They thought that if they copied the Disney style, it would be considered "good". But, nope. They just made it look that way.

[@teejaykaye4357]

this movie feels like 3 bizarre Scooby Doo episodes stitched together, I love the first movie what went wrong with this one

[@NicholasLionRider]

I just kinda find if funny how this was the one movie Disney said NOT to do a TV show of. Lion King got 2, Tarzan got one, hercules, aladdin, little mermaid, jungle book, 101 dalmations, emperors new groove, lilo and stitch etc. lol

[@103035icle]

Nicholas LionRider treasure planet?

[@ShadowsegaExaid]

Robert Harris They were going to do a sequel and a TV series of Treasure Planet but it was cancelled because of the film's disappointing box office performance and heavy competition with 8 Mile,That stupid Adam Sadler animated Christmas film Eight Crazy Nights,Friday After Next and Disney's own live action sequel The Santa Clause 2.

[@103035icle]

***** huh. I know they have a game that released alongside the movie. Thats sad.

[@ShadowsegaExaid]

I know. Disney makes weird business decisions sometimes.

[@103035icle]

***** they really needed to advertise for it more.

[@BugsyFoga]

great review Doug !!!

[@ironmaster6496]

i remember that in my country the commercials made it seems as it was this GREAT CONTINUATION OF THE STORY only showing bits of the first story and COMPLETELY OMMITING THE EXISTENCE OF THE OTHER TWO STORIES

[@randommindz6782]

I liked Milo's Return! There I said it........but Atlantis is so much better!

[@HenryNguyen2003]

This animation looks more like a Nickelodeon movie from the 90s/early 2000s then a Disney movie anybody agree

[@antifagoat6591]

Hey, don't compare those to this. The theatrical ones at least had a nice budget and decent animation. …Though now I really want Doug to review "the Rugrats Movie."

[@ZukoPrince]

Ouch yeaaaah, I waited this one!

[@Madriddler]

I just realized Doug changed the Disney logo to have an "Oh God why!?!" expression. I love it!

[@musicsmoviesofficial]

I like "Channel Awesome"

[@maxiapalucci2511]

Why is channel awsome in quotation marks

[@Paper_Sunset]

This didn’t age well

[@dmgice]

It's Disney's Cthulu Mythos TV Show! Darn it. :-(

[@MegatronPrime321]

Nah, you're mistaken, Doug. All the original actors from the first movie return. It's just James Arnold Taylor who replaces Michael J. Fox as Milo (since he was too busy working on Stuart Little 2) and Steve Barr replacing Jim Varney as Cookie (since he died).

[@ChuggleDBuglGames]

I remember the scenes in this movie where they are in the fog, and then see a bunch of lights that may or may not be the monster always creeped me out as a kid.

[@benabramowitz18]

Still a better Atlantis movie than Tentacolino. Or Atlantis Squarepantis.

[@Chimcharlover13]

So, going off the reviews Doug has given thus far, I'd guess this would be his order so far, from favorite to least favorite: 1. 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure 2. Aladdin & The King Of Thieves 3. Pocahontas 2: Journey To A New World 4. Lady & The Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure 5. The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride 6. The Return Of Jafar 7. An Extremely Goofy Movie 8. Atlantis: Milo's Return 9. The Little Mermaid 2: Return To The Sea 10. Tarzan & Jane 11. The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 2 12. Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True 13. Belle's Magical World

Wait 'til Cinderella 3. It gets better. :)

[@abandonedchannel546]

Pocahontas II, he said it wasn't good, in fact, some parts were cringe-worthy. I think I'll place it between Lion King II and Return of Jafar

[@tardisgirl1237]

I used to love this movie when I was little.

[@Derpington95]

OMG I got this on VHS! :D

[@Markimark151]

I thought this cartoon looked more like Stargate: Infinity instead of Atlantis the Lost Empire. It had no focus and had low budget, I thought they were going to make an actual Atlantis sequel, but they just used three episodes that were part of a cancelled series.

[@isaiahgarraway5568]

Actually now that I think about it Stargate used Atlantis better to it's advantage for a story than these movies did. It would have been interesting to have a TV show because I love the first movie but nope they made this instead and it failed.

[@Markimark151]

Atlantis did borrow from Stargate, but I was surprised how this sequel was too similar to that Fox cartoon that had nothing to do with Stargate. And I saw the original Atlantis movie, but this one probably had similar animation to SG Infinity, and their stories don't connect well.

[@AgentCamtho1]

Silence! We Stargate fans do not mention... the cartoon...

[@Markimark151]

@@AgentCamtho1 it’s not even canon, critic needs to review that awful show, because it was made to compete with the Star Wars franchise and create an animated Stargate series.

[@UriaLordOfSearingFlames]

This woulda made a great tv show. I loved Atlantis, movie and failed pilot.

[@bartkatastroof6150]

Wow this brought back some memories, I remember the wolves had creepy music

[@Khanemis]

What not many people know is that for the first Atlantis movie some character concepts were made by Mike Mignola (author of Hellboy) and by looking at Milo's Return his influence is definitely showing a lot in this animation.

[@AB-bg7os]

ATLANTIS GOT A SEQUEL?!

[@jeffreybinnekamp6840]

Synth Curie, you can hardly call it that

[@M1ckTheMan]

Wait a minute, TARZAN had a TV show but THIS didn't? THIS WORLD MAKES NO SENSE!

[@StevenCenname]

Can't wait for Lion King 1 1/2 review tomorrow! By far the best and most original direct to video sequel.

[@darkwraith100]

I loved this one, I wish this became a TV show.

[@mercury7d]

Well everyone, you got what you wanted.

[@andrewkful]

.. I don't get what made Doug go into this movie thinking it wasn't a pilot for a TV show, if he stated he was wise enough for the previous cheapquels he saw......

[@michaelmaximus7916]

He did the same with Belle's Magical World. Also,I think Doug needs to research better.

[@missnotsocool96]

andrewkful I'm pretty sure he does know, he's either doing it for comedic effect of making a case for people that go into seeing these movies not aware it's a pilot to an upcoming tv show. Personally, on a technical stand point, I think a movie is quite shitty if you need to research the source material (e.g some YA films based on novels) in order to understand the movie.

[@andrewkful]

MissNotSoCool 96 "I'm pretty sure he does know". Then how come he came off as saying "oh god this is a pilot to a TV show, isn't it!??" And if he did mean it as a joke, it doesn't work, because in the previous cheapquel videos he said he knew they WERE pilots.

[@michaelmaximus7916]

andrewkful Well,Doug's/NC's jokes are meant to be stupid but funny,I think.

[@WadeTheWilsonTV]

I wish this became a show. It would be amazing.

[@MisterLN]

i personnaly love the first movie. and it's sad to see that it was forgotten by Disney.

[@scottbuckley823]

Are you gonna do 102 dalmations the live action seqeul

[@omarreyes7626]

he said he was only doing direct to dvd animated sequels, and I'm pretty sure 102 dalmatians got a theatrical release.... oh and it's live action.

[@scottbuckley823]

Omar Reyes I know maybe by popular demand

[@Freezient]

Omar Reyes aw then he's not going to review the Tigger movie then, that came out in theatre in where i live

[@blakebonecutter]

So... what happens when Doug runs out of Disney movies?

[@lwanco1018]

He'll just stop I guess.

[@98953812]

Blake Bonecutter He will never run out as long as Disney keeps spewing them out

[@ThePinkStarsGirl]

the only ones left are the DCOM's and I highly doubt he would want to do that. That'll be kind of his limit lol. Anyways I'd like to see that

[@DrMFoster7]

He'll start doing shows.

[@Des-rh9zn]

I loved the first Atlantis and still enjoyed this one as well

[@rouka120]

Alright, as an idea a tv series based on the Atlantis universe would have actually been amazing. The sequel showcased the fact that there were tons of different regions to explore in that time period. I found this pretty enjoyable as a kid and probably would've enjoyed a series even though it most likely would have been super short.

[@cofagrigusfan24]

oh boy tomorrow... Lion King 1 1/2... good luck critic

[@cinephile9885]

nathan prins, I think it's funny

[@cofagrigusfan24]

me to, but the citic doesn't since he does not like Timon & Pumbaa and hate Hakuna Matata

[@omniviewer2115]

I always thought they should have gone with the original title: Timon & Pumba Are Dead.

[@morbidsearch]

Stitch The Movie next. I'm really curious to know what he thinks of it.

[@micahhirsh8458]

Well considering it is also a TV pilot (although not a compilation of episodes strung together.) and focuses on his least favorite part of the original, he might not like it at all. But if he says it's pointless I'm gonna call him out. Good? maybe not. absolutely necessary? absolutely not. but not pointless. The concept was pretty much set in stone since movie one when you found out he was #626.

[@comicozy8786]

I was looking forward to this show 😭
