Trivia:

Like many of Disney's direct-to-video sequels, this was intended as the pilot for a TV series. This is evident by the episodic structure of the plot, which would be cut into three separate episodes for the show's regular run. However, due to the disappointing box office of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), production of the series was halted and the ending was rewritten to provide closure.

Goofs:

Continuity: At the end of the first movie, Kida was seen with new tattoos on her face, which have disappeared in this sequel.

Quotes:

Kida:[being shown around the ship; she grabs a life belt] This! What is this?
Milo:Oh, that's a life preserver.
Kida:So... you wear it and it preserves your life? Like our crystals!
Milo:No, no, no; you throw it to someone in the water.
Kida:Oh, so it is a game!
Milo:No. You throw it to them when they're drowning.
Kida:Does that not make it difficult for them to play the game?

Did you people even see Atlantis 1 before voting???

If you've seen Atlantis 1, then you'd know that what made that film truly great was brilliant animation and a good script. This movie was SO sloppily drawn and animated. The story is also dopey. I was so disappointed in this half-baked drivel that I couldn't make it past the first hour, and MAN did I try! The one thing this film had was that it expanded the "mole" character, making him both more sympathetic and three dimensional. Take it from me, judge this junk from the cover on the video box. The cover is poorly drawn Disney schlock, clearly grabbing for an easy buck from an unsuspecting parent. If this was a stand alone flick, it wouldn't be so bad, but riding on the coattails of a brilliant piece like Atlantis makes it utterly inexcuseable.
