What I remembered about the movie was the fight with the skeletons and the scene with the harpies-- and I think the harpies are what made Dad see a connection. In PJI, there is a scene near the beginning where a fury attacks Percy in a museum, kind of like the harpies in JATA. So, I asked him what genre he thought JATA was, and he said that he thinks it's called "sword and sandal." Based on that, I started doing some web searching (mainly to get terms to use for searching later in scholarly databases), and that's where I'll leave it for now.
