Treasure Planet

Summary: An Excellent Movie
Review: This is one of the best animation films I have seen in a while (with the possible exceptions of Spirit & Shrek). Most of the main characters are unstereotypical, and come across as quite human (regardless of home planet). The saber-wielding, mutineering Long John isn't as evil as he tries to be. The indomitible Captain is incapacitated. The good Doctor gets to act the part of the hero. Jim's mother becomes quite frustrated with Jim's pre-adventure shenanigans. And Jim discovers that he isn't as worthless as he thought he was.
The storyline is simplified, of course, but the main elements of the book are still present. If you haven't read the book - or even if you have - take this film on its own merits. It stands as an excellent movie in and of itself.
My only complaint - if you want to call it that - is that some of the language used is far above a normal adolescent's vocabulary. The Captain, bless her heart, becomes extremely verbose at times. For myself, I loved the dialogue. I thrive on obscure words. ;) But most kids will be a bit lost in places.

Summary: Buy this movie!
Review: ... It was so awesome, and I am not a sci - fi person. When I first saw the previews, I thought Disney slaughtered Treasure Island with this remake, but the movie was so good! It took Stevenson's already great book and made it even better. I highly recommend this if your child is into space, and definitely if you're a Disney fan. The animation and graphics are amazing, and the storyline is wonderful. My only caution is to beware the creepy spidery scorpion thing, which might be too scary for little kids.

Summary: Way to go Disney!
Review: This movie was awesome! I think it is very close to how Robert Louis Stevenson would have done it if he had done it in the future. Morf was hilarious! I loved the scene where Jim was solar surfing - VERY cool.

Summary: Treasure Planet - a story of determination and adventure!
Review: As a single mother, this movie really touches me. It is the story of Jim Hawkins, a young man who desires to find himself amid the confusion that comes from watching his father leave and seeing his mother struggle to make ends meet. Jim is a strong character filled with emotions that range from anger to understanding, disapointment to determination. He has a passion for adventure, all the while hoping to accomplish something that will make his mother proud.

In typical Disney fashion, the animation is stunning, the music is well done, and the story line remains strong through out the film. The character of Morph, an adorible shape shifting pink blob, is especially creative adding humor and fun to the movie. A Disney Classic for sure!!!

Summary: Best Disney film in the last 5 years
Review: I watch 'em all. With a 4 year old kid, I've been buying every animated Disney film they put on dvd. Hey, I like 'em myself. Anyway, they hit a big dry spell a few years ago, so my expectations for Treasure Planet weren't very high. Not including all the straight to video crud, their big budget features just hadn't done much for me lately. Atlantis, the Tigger movie, Emperor's New Groove, Lilo & Stitch, that horrible Piglet movie I saw at the theater a few weeks ago....I mean, the BS was really stacking up. It wasn't bad animation, but there's no magical feeling you get watching them. Then here came Treasure Planet and opened up doors I thought Disney had closed for good. There's a sense of adventure to it, it's not predictable, the characters don't feel written. I've watched it several times and I still want to see it again. To me, this is Disney's best work since Aladdin. I can't give it 5 stars because it's not perfect, but only for a couple of reasons. B.E.N. is annoying, and I think that the climax on Treasure Planet just kind of lacked something. But the buildup of the story and the first half the film is just flawless. Check this one out. It's well worth it.

Summary: Much Better Than Its Reviews
Review: I'm a middled aged Disney animation lover who long ago gave up taking nieces and nephews to theatres as an excuse to see the new Disney...now I just go myself. I stayed away from Treasure Planet on the big screen because of the generally lukewarm reviews and mediocre box office. Big mistake.

I don't understand why this one did so badly out there, but I think it marks a return to form for Disney after the disappointing (to me) Atlantis. Great characters and characterizations, and images that rival the best animés out there: dozens of inside jokes for film lovers, readers of Robert Louis Stevenson, or sci-fi fans; Emma Thompson as a sultry space-cat...jeez, what more do you need in a film?

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This is a great movie. The animated version of Treasure Island that takes place in space. This movie is about a 15 year old teen, Jim Hawkins. He is constantly getting into trouble with the police and if he does it one more time, he'll be sent to the juevnile hall. His father left his family when he was young and his mother is busy running the Benbow Inn. When a ship crashes a few feet away from the inn, an old alien stagers iut and gives Jim a mysterious map. The map leads to Treasure Planet, so Jim and his mother's friend, Dr. Doppler, hir a crew and a ship to take them to Treasure Planet.

I love the way the characters are drwan in the movie. The villain, Scroop (I didn't count Silver as a true villain) is so cool. The way his voice sounds in a hiss. he kind of reminds me of Scar. Scroop hates Jim and Mr. Arrow, who he kills when the Star Pellusa turns into a black hole, and the affection Silver has for Jim. Jim Hawkins is also a great character. He looks like a typical teen.

If you're looking for a great movie, get Treasure Planet!

Summary: I renewed this video from Blockbuster 4 times!
Review: I toatally adore this movie. It is the best animated Disney movie (not including Lilo and Stich) since the Lion King. Disey did a great job here. The animation is amazing. The cahracters are well designed and there is plenty of comedy and adventure, but for romance junkies, here is a warning, there is only a tad of romance between Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia. This is definatly a DVD you should have in your collection.

Summary: umm...ok
Review: I'm being nice when I give this movie 4 stars because it really doesn't deserve it. First of all, let me say that Disney should have done 'Treasure Island' because this futuristic adaptation is strange and dumb. Why do ships fly? Why would ships be designed to fly? The whole thing is bizarre. ... I'm giving this movie 4 stars because of the nice storyline. Aside from the [weak] treasure hunt we have Jim who never had a dad and feels like a failure to his mom. They could have done a whole movie just on that and it would have been a hundred times better. So I liked Jim's emotional problems but I didn't like anything else in this movie. Oh! And the jokes are [weak] and not funny!

Summary: WOW!
Review: Disney has made lots of flaws (not including Pixar movies) since the Lion King. Pocahintas, Hercules, Atlantis and all the dumb sequels and then we got the amazing Lilo and Stich and now Treasure Planet. This movie has the best animation in any animated movie I have ever seen. All the characters are well drawn and it has a good story. Some parts may be to scary for kids but thats why its rated PG. The Supernova part was one of the best climax scenes since the Lion King and Mulan.
