Atlantis: The Lost Empire

by Greg Ehrbar (Adapter), Claudio Sciarrone (Illustrator), Sonia Matrone (Illustrator)

In the flash of a giant wave, the mighty kingdom of Atlantis disappeared into the sea. For hundreds of generations, the lost empire has remained hidden at the bottom of the ocean. Now a young man named Milo Thatch has discovered the secret of Atlantis, and a fantastic journey is about to begin. This greatly anticipated adaptation of Disney's Atlantis The Lost Empire features a cover by comics luminary Mike Mignola, whose artistic vision inspired the animation for the film. In this graphic novel, Mignola includes a special sketchbook section -- giving us a look at some never-before-seen designs from the production.

This was one of my favorite films as a child and this graphic novel is perfect for 6-10 year olds. Such an underrated movie and I’m so glad it has this adaptation!

great little graphic novel if you like the movie (which is very underrated in my opinion ) I just wish it added more to the story rather than just a straightforward retelling. oh, the cover: don't let it throw you off, the animation is about the same as the movie, I have no idea where the cover art came from o_O

Starting the year off right with a... not great book. While I am aware this book was intended for younger audiences, the book's method of telling rather than showing was very off, especially given that this is a graphic novel. It was as if they wanted to minimize the number of panels as much as possible and so decided to simply tell you what was supposed to be happening instead. I was so excited about this since I love the movie, but it was definitely a letdown. 😅

I would describe this as a delightful adaptation of the movie. There are a few editing errors here and there (a missing letter or two), but overall it sticks very closely to the animated classic. Bravo!

It's the movie in graphic novel form.

That's it. That's the review. And as someone who's pretty tepid on the movie, the GN is...fine, I guess?

Meh. Feeling a bit, ahem, "sunk" right now.
