Preston B. Whitmore is a pivotal character from Disney’s animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). He is a wealthy, eccentric millionaire who funds the expedition to find the lost city of Atlantis. Whitmore is a longtime friend of Milo Thatch’s late grandfather, Thaddeus Thatch, and shares their passion for exploration and uncovering the mysteries of the ancient world. His vast fortune allows him to assemble an expert team of adventurers, equip them with cutting-edge technology, and commission the submarine Ulysses to embark on the perilous journey to Atlantis.

Whitmore’s character exudes charm and humor, and his quirky personality brings levity to the film’s more intense moments. Although he appears to be merely a benefactor, his genuine respect for Thaddeus and his belief in Milo’s abilities demonstrate his deep loyalty and heart. Whitmore’s motivations are more altruistic than profit-driven, as he desires to honor Thaddeus’s legacy and solve the mysteries of Atlantis.

The character is voiced by actor John Mahoney, best known for his role as Martin Crane on the hit sitcom Frasier.
