Draco S Apr 22, 2019 Though it is a retelling of a quite well known tale, this movie has the charm and creativity to not only stand by itself, but stand taller than the legend it was crafted from. It is a perfect blend of fantasy and science, to where seeing beings travel in space suitless and safe is not only normal but welcomed to the eye of reason. It has the ability to carry your imagination on to a place where you begin to think, "I wonder what else could be remade in such a manor?" The classic tale of a young boy learning the ropes of life to find his footing at being a man whilst he learns to overcome his past. Anyone who likes a "coming of age" meets a "lost and needing a mentor" kinda film will love this. Though the setting might be weird for those not use to science fantasy, it feels all to normal as the movies pace picks up. See more

Apr 6, 2019 Great movie with beautiful animation that deserved more attention.

Draco S Mar 20, 2019 Treasure Planet is based on the book Treasure Island. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s about a teenager named Jim Hawkins who is struggling to fit in and gets in a lot of trouble. One day he ends up getting his hands on a little orb that is a map to a planet of legend, a planet of treasure. He and an old friend of his motherï¿ 1/2(TM)s, Dr. Doppler, hire a ship to head to the planet and meet interesting characters like the fierce captain of the ship, Captain Amelia, and her first mate Mr. Arrow. The captain placed Jim in the kitchen under the control of the cook, Mr. Silver. Jim and Silver immediately donï¿ 1/2(TM)t get along since Jim is rebellious and suspicious of Silver and Silver is trying to hide the fact that he is a pirate captain. Over time, however, Jim and Silver grow close and fond of each other which ends up making things complicated. I love the story. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s got a good flow. They give enough time in present time and through flashing forwards to make the bond between Silver and Jim believable. It doesnï¿ 1/2(TM)t feel rushed with them or with anything in the story. These characters are so memorable. Jim is a rebel, a trouble making young man, but though he puts up a tough exterior, he is rather vulnerable. He is very emotional and I just can relate to his feelings of not knowing where he belongs and what he should do with himself. Silver is also a fun guy. Heï¿ 1/2(TM)s tough but he has a heart. And Captain Amelia is a cool, strong, and intimidating woman. I look up to her as one of the greatest independent women ever. Dr. Doppler is a good comedic character whose also a sweet guy. B.E.N. is a character I can understand if people find annoying but I usually end up liking annoying characters. The bond between Silver and Jim is the front and center of the film and itï¿ 1/2(TM)s just so good. Iï¿ 1/2(TM)m a sucker for father and son types of relationships. They are just so sweet, with Silver giving Jim encouragement and advice and Jim feeling like he finally has a proper father figure. The end scene when they say goodbye still gets me to tear up. (I recently watched it with my sister and I almost cried at that part). The romance between Doppler and Amelia is also very cute. The bumbling scientist with the badass captain is a sweet mix and they work off each other well. I love how they are also a cat and a dog, just to hammer in the opposites attract thing. I even adore Jimï¿ 1/2(TM)s mother, Sarah, and her strained relationship with Jim because of how distant heï¿ 1/2(TM)s become. And the setting is perfect for adventure! I mean, come on. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s space. Whatï¿ 1/2(TM)s cooler or more beautiful or awe inspiring as outer freaking space?! I think that was such a clever choice to set the story out in the cosmos. The story has been told on the ocean before more than once, so why not be more creative? It still keeps some things from the time period of the book, like the ships are still actual boats and the way some people dress makes it seem like itï¿ 1/2(TM)s still an old period in time. I think it make the universe of Treasure Planet so unique. The way they blend the old with the futuristic just works. This was back when Disney was doing 2D animation but CGI was just starting to kinda make its way in. So Disney decided to blend the two styles together; 2D for the characters and CGI for the environment. I think it works. The 2D animation for the characters makes them stand out while the CGI makes the ship and buildings look super solid. I am so sad that Disney has dumped the hand drawn style except for little things like Mauiï¿ 1/2(TM)s tattoo or the opening of Coco on papel picado. Iï¿ 1/2(TM)m glad itï¿ 1/2(TM)s still utilized but I wish we were still going to get more than that for 2D animation. I think it worked for this movie and I wish there was more. I donï¿ 1/2(TM)t know how many times I watched this movie when I was young but I know that I watched it a lot. This was the movie that really got me into loving father/son relationships. It also got me into being a fan of pirates and adventure. And an admiration for space. This movie is probably why I love the Guardians of the Galaxy so much, especially Yondu and Peter Quill and their relationship. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s very similar to Silver and Jim. Treasure Planet is totally my feel good movie. Treasure Planet is one of the best movies Disney has ever made in my opinion. Donï¿ 1/2(TM)t give me no Little Mermaid. Donï¿ 1/2(TM)t give me no Beauty and the Beast. Treasure Planet is where itï¿ 1/2(TM)s at. It breaks my heart that itï¿ 1/2(TM)s not really appreciated as much as it should be but from what Iï¿ 1/2(TM)ve seen, itï¿ 1/2(TM)s got a bit of a cult following. I heard someone on YouTube guessing worlds for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts game that there might be a world for Treasure Planet but I donï¿ 1/2(TM)t have high hopes for that. But who knows? Since the film has such a cult following, maybe Disney will do something with it? I can only hope, pray, and dream. See more

George L Mar 2, 2019 In my opinion, this is the best movie Disney ever made. I mean I love other Disney animated movies like Tangled and Brother Bear, but for me this one hands down is the best and nothing has come close to it. The art alone is enough to deserve praise but the characters are also full of personality. This might be silly but it always inspired me when I was going through a tough time. Seriously give this movie a shot. I promise you will not be disappointed. I know they had plans to make a Treasure Planet 2 and Iï¿ 1/2(TM)m really hoping that theyï¿ 1/2(TM)ll give it another chance because this movie deserves a sequel. Also Iâ(TM)m not sure what that TM thing is??? It wonâ(TM)t go away. See more

Theodore L Feb 24, 2019 Really underrated classic. Can still watch it as an adult and love it.

Anakin R Feb 14, 2019 One of the best Disney movies made that decade.
