First off, let me start by saying that I had a tonne of fun doing this fan-cast because to this day, 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' is one of my favorite Disney animated films.
Some of the voice actors were nearly impossible to replace (Jim Varney) and a couple of the voice actors I kept for a live-action adaption because they were so perfect for the role.
Set in the year 1914, the film tells the story of a young linguist who gains possession of a sacred book which he believes will guide him to the Lost city of Atlantis. He is enlisted by a band of archaeologists, excavators and mercenaries who also want to find the city, but their leader plans to sabotage the mission, in order to take the profit for himself.
Depending on the reaction to this fan-cast, I might do a few more animated movies if people request it.
- Milo James Thatch - Originally voiced by Michael J. Fox
Joseph Gordan Levitt
A linguist and cartographer who has studied the Atlantean culture and learned to translate the Atlantean language. He is logical-minded, brave, timid, and always tries to do the right thing.
OR
James McAvoy
He was my second choice but I went with JGL because he's two years younger, and kind of has that skinny but still lean body type of Milo. But I decided to add McAvoy in here because some of you guys like him better for the role.

And just for fun, a lot of people have claimed that James Cameron's 'Avatar' and this movie share a lot of the same details so I thought I'd share this small this of the similarities between the two.
