Atlantis : The Lost Empirewas a distinct andunderrated entryinDisney ’s modern - day lineup , breaking with a lot ofconvention and showcasing gorgeous , engrossing animation to charge . harmonize toits director , Kirk Wise , a sequel was design , with a twisty baddie reveal andeverything .
A sequel , that is , that is n’t the little animated serial Disney ended up putting out and thenselling as a sequel “ movie ” scream Atlantis : Milo ’s Return . This sequel was different , and a bit more striking .
“ [ Storysupervisor ] John Sanford , Gary [ Trousdale ] and I in reality concocted an idea fora sequel to Atlantis , ” Wise toldCollider . “ It had no relation to the AtlantisTV series that was being developed at Disney Television Animation . Thiswas a feature article - duration , full - on , full - bluster subsequence to Altantis . ”

As Collider item , this sequel was n’t very far along in the creation process , but did have a plotstructure intact .
“ We were goingto have a new villain in the taradiddle . The scoundrel was going to be wear big , chilling , woolen , bulky , World War I - style clothing with a frightening gasmask toobscure it ’s face ; a little Darth Vader - esque . And this villain was going totry and recapture Atlantis and finish the Book of Job that Rourke was unable toaccomplish . And the big twisting in the climax of the pic is that the baddie isunmasked and it change by reversal out to be Helga Sinclair . Plot twist ! ” Wiseexplained .

This Helga , thesurviving second - in - command to the big badness from the first moving-picture show , has gonethrough some changes by the time of the sequel .
Wiseelaborated , saying , “ So Helga survived her evenfall , became an early-20th - century bionic woman and bulge out her own squad ofmercenaries . ”
That ’s honestlypretty intense , and inclination in well to the movie ’s steampunky vibes . The firstone told a fairly cohesive history and did n’t really require a follow-up , but thesetting felt rich enough that I certainly would n’t have disposed returning . Whatdo you think ? Does this subsequence idea hold any piss ?
