Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Episode Summary


Making sense of the plot of Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
proves almost as difficult as locating a lost civilization in the
Atlantic Ocean. Erin and Rachel muddle through the complicated
lore of this box office flop and manage to find some positive
depictions of gender roles and racial diversity.
