Team Atlantis
Team Atlantis was a series developed by Walt Disney Television Animation to follow the theatrical film Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Tad Stones was the producer, and Greg Guler was the lead character designer for the series. Vic Cook was a director, and Dave Schwartz was a storyboard artist. Greg Weisman served as the Voice Director and also wrote at least a couple of scripts for the series.
Unfortunately, due to the disappointing box-office take for the film, the series was cancelled a third of the way through production -- before more than a few episodes had begun being animated -- though scripts and voice work were nearly complete and storyboards had begun on many episodes. Three completed episodes of the series were later re-edited into the direct-to-video sequel, Atlantis: Milo's Return.
