“We are not thriving. True, our people live, but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. With each year a little more of us is worn away”, for all of Disney’s heart wrenching dialogues, this simple statement made by princess Kida, in the profoundly underrated movie “Atlantis, The Lost Empire”, affected me the most. The thought of a race that was once so magnificent losing its history and cultural background hit a little too close to home for me, having lived in Iran…

The concept of human futility is a strong theme within both “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury and “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe as well as the Disney movie “Atlantis the Lost Empire”. Within each of these stories the authors, and creators bring a lot of wonderfully crafted themes to the text, but the most persistent ideal in each of these stories is that humans will fail in the end despite whatever efforts they use to attempt to avoid failure.
