On this day in 2001 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' was first released to cinemas. Although it didn't set the box office on fire on it's release as it was competing with Shrek and Tomb Raider which had had much more spent on their marketing, A:TLE is considered a cult classic and one of the greatest ever animated films of all time by critics. Unusually for Disney films it was not aimed at young children, contained no show tunes or comic talking animals/crockery. What it did contain were a steam punk setting, a Jules Verne inspired plot, artwork based on designs by Mike “Hellboy” Mignola, a script part written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer's creator Joss Whedon and plot elements inspired by the sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce. If you haven't seen it yet I assure you that the film is as awesome as my last sentence makes it sound and this really was a high-watermark in Western Animation.
