The mood of Treasure Planet is exciting and humorous. The plot centers around pirates, rebelliousness, and a treasure hunt. It is a drama, comedy, and action movie. Stylistically, Treasure Planet has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical. It takes place, at least partly, on a distant planet and on a spacecraft. Treasure Planet happens in the future.

Summary of Treasure Planet

In this adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND, Disney presents a fantastic space adventure. Jim Hawkins (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a teenage boy with a taste for adventure who seems to always be in trouble, much to the chagrin of his hardworking mother (Laurie Metcalf). But when he comes into possession of a high-tech map leading to Treasure Planet where an ancient cache of jewels and gold lies buried, it's like a dream come true. His mother's friend Doctor Doppler (David Hyde Pierce) arranges for a ship, and the two set sail, traversing the universe on course for the treasure. Captain Amelia (Emma Thompson), a domineering feline, is in charge of a rough-and-tumble crew of odd creatures, who may have their own designs on the treasure. Jim is placed under the supervision of John Silver (Brian Murray), the cook, who is both his father figure and his adversary. Slowly but surely the ship makes its way toward its destination, as Jim comes of age, learning to follow his heart, do what's right, and be a leader.

With stunning computer animation that combines both space and sea elements, TREASURE PLANET called upon the skills of 350 artists, animators, and technicians. The result is dazzling, colorful, and fast-moving, with some very realistic-looking creatures including variations on spiders, robots, and whales.

Time
Take a while to get their vehicle to sail and soar. But when it does, this Planet is a treasure.

Users Reviews

so so
This had the potential to be really good but something was missing, soon as it started getting interesting it ended. Maybe if they make a sequel it will be better but this one was definitely worth a watch.
one of Disney's greatest
This is really a great movie. It's such a shame that it came out when computer animation took over the entire animation field, because I feel that if it had come out in Disney's golden era in the 90s it would probably be considered a classic Disney...
