ATLANTIS' AWASH IN ADVENTURE.Byline: - Glenn Whipp Don't look for anyone in Disney's new animated feature ``Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' to start singing ``Under the Sea'' in the middle of the movie. ``Atlantis'' has no musical numbers, no dancing, no talking fish. It's a straight action-adventure flick in the tradition of such Disney films as ``20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' and ``Swiss Family Robinson Swiss Family Robinson family shipwrecked on a deserted island.

Besides its lack of show tunes, the movie breaks form in other important areas. It's wide-screen, and it integrates traditional, hand-drawn animation with digital animation more so than any previous Disney film. ``We've never done anything like it before,'' says Kirk Wise, who, with co-director Gary Trousdale, has made ``Beauty and the Beast'' and ``The Hunchback hunchback, abnormal outward curvature of the spine in the thoracic region.

It was both liberating and frightening.'' CAPTION(S): photo Photo: `ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE' (JUNE 8) A giant submarine is what young adventurer Milo Thatch, Capt.
