...Are trying to make Altlantis: The Lost Empire relevant to the parks! If you haven't seen it (which isn't that surprising, it's a mostly forgotten movie), Atlantis is a Disney film from the 2000s. It was different from a lot of other Disney movies because it's a steampunky adventure movie. Also you should watch it, it's a good movie.
Anyway, at the ride Miss Adventure Falls at Typhoon Lagoon, there's this bell:
At the bottom of the bell in orange it has some Atlantean writing!
And, with Imagineers doing their on-going stories with the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (explanation here, if you don't know about that:
, )
it looks like Atlantis will be a part of that too! If you've seen the movie, it honestly makes perfect sense time period-wise, plus it's so easy to see Whitmore and Thaddeus Thatch as members of SEA.
I always liked Atlantis growing up, and I think it's really cool of Imagineers to slip in these references.
Thoughts?
