Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This kid-friendly disc serves as an advance for the DVD release of Disney's Treasure Planet feature, while emphasizing the story's roots in the written word. The main attraction is the movie's story, which can be read aloud in five different languages while viewers watch successive, still images from the original animated film. Sound strange? Sure, but the process is engrossing for children--a natural audience for storytelling. Also on board is a multilingual vocabulary experience, in which you can hear words associated with Treasure Planet's story (e.g., "chest") in Spanish, Italian, French, etc. Two songs from the film, written and performed by Goo Goo Dolls icon John Rzeznik, also get the image-by-image treatment, though the disc also includes a powerful, ghostly celestial music video for Rzeznik's "I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)." There's also a game compatible with Playstation 2 (and other gaming consoles with DVD drive). --Tom Keogh

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Underappreciated
I know this was a box office bomb, but being the Treasure Island fanatic that I am I could not help but love it for its wildly creative retelling and the wonderful animation and spirit. I think that this film truly captured the emotional wonder of Robert Louis Stevenson's original story, if not the details (Then again, not too many movies exactly get the book correct). The soundtrack is incredible, perfectly piratey. The entire story is one of longing, angst, and change. So it may be a little moody, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Treasure Island as an animated space opera
Pirates and kids are always a hit.
This movies translates a children's classic tale
from the Atlantic Ocean to the space of the galaxy
in a Star Wars mix of technology, Robots and cute little aliens ( Morphy).
Mutiny comes at an unexpected time, but the captain, the astronomer and Jim
make it away alive. Getting back the ship and bringing back the treasure
is another story altogether and it brings young Jim to his
full abilities and courage.
The technology ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful film, should do theatrical re-release in 3D
I am probably one of the few who did see "Treasure Planet" in the theater. I found it thoroughly enjoyable. I think part of the problem with the poor showing at theaters, was that the movie, overall, was geared more towards teen males and adults (those who usually do not go to a theater to see a cartoon). The one liners in the film that reference other movies/shows like Star Trek and Star Wars are numerous, but you have to catch them. Casting was perfect. If possible, they should re-release the film in Disney ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Certainly an underrated Disney movie
This, along with "Atlantis: The Lost Empire", is surely being overshadowed by other more popular ones such as "Monsters Inc." and "Lilo & Stitch" and "The Incredibles" and so on. "Treasure Planet" really is something worth watching.

Some of the finest things that are in this film are the animation. I'm floored by the visuals of outer space (rendered in both 2D and 3D). The supernova/black hole sequence is a sight to see. And the scenes in which Long John Silver demonstrates his Cyborg skills ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A New Take on an Old Classic
I'm generally wary when Hollywood makes movies of any book, especially a classic, and so I was a little worried about "Treasure Planet," and yet it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite Disney movies! I can't figure out why it wasn't as big a hit as Disney hoped, because a movie like this definitely deserves it. It's a great family film full of adventure, and I just love the idea of setting "Treasure Island" in space! Who could have come up with such a fun idea but Disney? Silver is even a cyborg! How perfect! ... Read More
