Line 57:
** [[Rule of Funny]].
** Poor guy was also pretty tongue-tied around her. With a voice and... well, [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|EVERYTHING]] like hers, it's fairly understandable.
* Why is the movie apparently so hated? It doesn't seem that different from most other Disney films, and I don't see any problems with it that stand out when compared to any other Disney film. The animation and voice acting (especially the involvement of [[Hellboy (
** There are some people who don't like it because it is ''so'' different from ordinary Disney animation. Other people don't like the third act, which does have quite weak motivation for the characters.
** Some don't like it because it feels so [[Stargate (
* Why are the Atlantian's flying machines shaped like fish? They were built ''before'' the city was sunk.
** Fish have quite an aerodynamic build, so it would be practical to have them fish shaped. Maybe they decided to fully go with the fish theme after that.
Line 73:
** And for some reason, the Leviathan in this scene has tentacles. Why does the Leviathan have tentacles? It's supposed to be a giant mechanical lobster, and [[You Fail Biology Forever|lobsters don't have tentacles!]]
*** The Leviathan has retractable tentacles directly below its eyes. The tentacles come together to fire the beam weapon (a certain amount of energy is channeled through each tentacle, and when all of that energy is combined at one point...), which you can see in the scene where it destroys the ''Ulysses''. The fact that the Viking longship is so small (relative to the Leviathan) is probably why we see the tentacles actually getting used as tentacles (if the thing just smashed the longship with a pincer, the scene would be over in two seconds flat). As for lobsters not having tentacles, the Leviathan is ''based on'' a lobster, but is not meant to be a perfectly accurate 1000x scale model of one (it has two sets of pincers, its head can move without turning the entire cephalothorax, its tail is different from a real lobster's, etc.).
* Did you notice that Rourke (and to a much lesser extent, Helga) is the ''only'' character from the film to actually still appear in the merchandise? Why did Disney still want to market him instead of everyone else from the film? They actually did [[Sublime Rhyme|the same thing]] with [[The Black Cauldron
** Poor box office reception. Hence in Rourke went.
* Here's one that I don't get. The first time the Crystal took someone of Royal Family, we're suppose to assume that she died, but when it uses Kida to do basically the same thing it did with her mother, why did it give Kida back? Why didn't it give back her mother? What's the distinguishing characteristic between the two characters or the two events?
