I still believe, despite the CGI in "Shrek," that as long as you have a good plot, characters, and a bit of adventure, special effects are not necessary. "Atlantis," does just this. Its not as visually stunning as "Shrek," but it doesn't have to be. "Atlantis," is a story about friendship, love, discovery, and taming that "young boy adventure." With all those themes, you don't need fancy computer graphics. This movies delivers with humor and intrigue. While you're watching, you feel for the characters, and you really want them to complete the mission.
Now, I'll answer that ominous question: Which is better, "Shrek," or "Atlantis"? Well, I can tell you that "Atlantis," is more complex, and has deeper themes of emotion. However, "Shrek," is truly ground breaking in graphics and story line. I give them both the same grade of A+, however, "Shrek," wins by a tiny bit. Don't let that opinion persuade you not to see "Atlantis." This Disney movie is one-of-a-kind and should be seen.---------****A+
