Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Synposis
Bespectacled adventurer MILO teams up with a BUNCH OF WEIRDOS and their SUPER-DUPER SUBMARINE, blow shit up and discover ATLANTIS. KIDA, the inevitable PRINCESS, convinces KING SOMETHING-OR-OTHER not to kill them all. Predictably, the BUNCH OF WEIRDOS turn evil and try to steal ATLANTIS’s SUPAR POWER SUPPLY, while MILO falls in LUUUURRRVE with KIDA.
The BUNCH OF WEIRDOS mostly turn non-evil again and save ATLANTIS from a VAGUE, NON-SPECIFIC DOOM THAT SURELY CAN’T BE MUCH WORSE THAN LAST TIME.
Then, DISNEY makes another GIGANTIC PILE OF CASH.

Milo had glasses and stupid hair! And saved the DAY! HOVER BIKES!
I second the Atlantis/Treasure Planet shameful enjoyment.
I recommend you check out Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. It's very similar to Atlantis: The Lost Empire, but SO much better! You can read more about it here - http://www.mangauk.com/post.php?p=nadia-the-secret-of-blue-water
I assumed readers would realise at "Nadias: 1" that I already have! It's hard not to see the Disney version as a bit of a rip-off, they're so similar.
