New Times (L.A.)
A thrilling tale smartly told, with an abundance of wit and invention. It's a classic. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
The emphasis here is less on cuteness and romance and more on the "Raiders of the Lost Ark"-style adventure. - 75
Baltimore Sun
Enough flair and conviction to keep the movie buoyant even when its plot is abrupt and its emotionality conventional. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
The character designs, however, are much less impressive. Except for the oddly naturalistic Sinclair, the rest look like cartoony characters from one of Disney's '60s films. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Story line and characterization are decidedly old-fashioned, and a curious decision about production design gives this wide-screen cartoon some of the look and feel of a Saturday morning TV cartoon series - 50
New York Daily News
The idea that every animated feature from Disney is an instant classic officially springs a leak with the noisily disappointing Atlantis: The Lost Empire. - 50
Austin Chronicle
The eye candy can't quite compensate for the murky mess of a plot. - 50
L.A. Weekly
Has the comfortable, old-fashioned, earnest idealism of a '50s Disney action-adventure.
