Continuity mistake: In the beginning scenes, where Milo Thatch is practising his proposal, he slides over (face forward, chest against the board) a chalk drawing of a map detailing the location of Atlantis. When he realises he wiped off the drawing, and sees it on his clothes, he stands in front of the blank part of the chalkboard, "filling in" the space with the map that rubbed off on his shirt - the only problem is, that the image should have rubbed off backwards as he was facing the board when it transferred to his clothes. He could not simply stand in the place of the missing map face forward and have it read properly.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise
Starring: Michael J. Fox, James Garner, Corey Burton, Jim Varney
Genres: Action, Adventure, Animated, Disney, Family, Fantasy, Sci-fi
The great crystal of Atlantis was hidden beneath the city by Kida's father; the crystal is living and keeps Atlantis and its people alive. The crystal grew a conscience when Kida's father tried to use the crystal's power as a weapon and that's what caused Atlantis to sink. Milo and the crew rescue Kida from Rourke. Kida, fused with the crystal, saves the city from being destroyed by lava. Audrey, Mole, Vinny, Sweet, Mrs. Packard and Cookie return to the U.S. with a few treasures. They provide to Mr. Whitmore evidence that they reached Atlantis; Milo sends him a crystal and a thank you note for believing in him and his grandfather. Milo stays in Atlantis and Kida is the next to rule Atlantis. Instead of having the great crystal beneath the city, it's now above the city and the Atlantean civilization is no longer in danger of dying.

Rourke: If you gave back every stolen artifact from a museum, you'd be left with an empty building.
Trivia: Originally, the beginning scene was different. It showed a group of vikings who were looking for Atlantis being attacked by the Leviathan. The makers thought it didn't fit in very well with the story once the characters got to Atlantis, so it was deleted and replaced by the scene of Atlantis being drowned.
Question: During the attack of the fireflies, with the bridge and the vehicles, especially the digger, crashing down, why weren't they strong enough to wake up the dormant volcano?
