“He took his suitcase? Marge, honey, I don’t think he’s coming back.” 😂😂😂

Fun fact: This was the last theatrically animated film released by disney that included a main character smoking

As an ex-US Navy sailor seeing Audrey close the hatch on the guy was heartbreaking because it is actually something we are told to do. It mirrors when a US destroyer was hit in a ship to ship collision and they had to close the hatch on think it was 8 sailors.

God, I never noticed how they actually addressed that people died on this trip to Atlantis. As a kid I was so in love with the Leviathan and the scene that I never noticed that lots of people were lost in this fight. It isn't like a normal kid movie to me, where you didn't really see people die or get taken down on the escape route; it's not gory, but it subtly showed how many people didn't make it back to the surface

It's interesting how they decided to show where Audrey is closing the hatch to prevent flooding and two men are able to escape, but one is locked in to save the rest of the crew. Like, this isn't the same as the ship exploding after the escape pods deploy and thinking "wow, lots of people just blew up", this is a much more personal example of a minor character desperately trying to survive, but failing and dying. There are more examples of deaths that are like this, but this moment is a really inpactful one, especially for a kid's movie.

Watching this as an adult I just realized the Leviathan is the mechanical guardian of Atlantis borders, all that "noise" it was making that Packard picked up? it was probably the Leviathan sending them signals asking for a clearance code to let them advance, the reason every other ship was sunk by it was because nobody else had the clearance codes to enter Atlantis "the legal way" nor the technology to broadcast them back at the Leviathan.

The fact that something THAT big can move so stealthily is one reason I've always been terrified of being in open water bc for all you know Cthulhu could be under you

I dont care if it didn't perform well at the box office, I love this movie no matter what

[rockinrom]

what really makes me love this scene is how prepared and organized the team is. they quickly responded to each other and were calm and collected, even the background characters for the most part. in spite of all that they still lost almost everyone, really sells how dangerous the leviathan was and how competented they are.

One of the coolest vessels to ever exist in cinema history exploded with only 5 minutes of screen time. I wish this thing lasted longer

[dannyvalli]

Anyone notice that when the Leviathan first shot the sub the blast was so powerful that you could see the skeletons of the crew members as it went through the hull 😅

[TheFacelessStoryMaker]

Something interesting to note is when the ships enter the crevice and go down the tunnel, the leviathan gets a LOT more agressive. Snapping its claws and firing its energy beam at the ships desperately trying to keep them away from finding the way to Atlantis.

[tungstenpants]

This scene terrified me as a kid. No weaknesses, no victory in the end, just pure helplessness.

[AlbertaTrailCams]

I swear it feels like every character is pulled from a different film with an entirely different animation team, making each of them drastically more unique

[KenjiIchijou]

My god, I can't imagine how much power that thing must have to move and maneuver that fast at *that* size. The water displacement and currents around that thing alone probably could have sunk every ship down there.

[grimmy]

There was a cool deleted opening of the movie that first introduces where a crew of Vikings had the Shepherd's Journal and sailed in the Leviathan's territory for the treasure of Atlantis, and were all killed off by the creatures tentacles and blasted a beam into the ship underneath while the book was unscathed, which probably led to it being found in Iceland by Milo's grandfather and the team he hired.

Fun fact: In total, out of the 201 expedition members, only 7 survived.

[tjjordan]

In less than 5 minutes, we see a massive ship graveyard, a battle with an ancient Leviathan-like machine, the destruction of the world's best looking submarine, a chase through the underwater Grand Canyon, and reemerging to begin the journey on foot. All done with great pacing, writing, and direction to make it seamless.

Commander, I think you should hear this...

Commander... Commander... Commander... Commander?

Gotta love Packard and her professional sarcasm

[seanteggert]

someone should give credit to Packard, despite the sub coming apart she remained calm and level headed.
