Movie Reviews of Treasure Planet
Movie Review: Enjoyable Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Treasure Planet is one hour and thirty-five minutes and was released on November 27, 2002. The Disney movie is an update version of Treasure Island with a mixture of old and new technology. The movie revolves around a teenage boy named Jim Hawkins; whose father abandoned him years ago and secretly yearns for a father figure. One evening a spaceship crashes near the inn. A turtle like creature emerges from the ship calling himself Billy Bones. He tells Jim pirates are after his treasure. Once inside, Billy Bones give Jim an orb package and warns him of the cyborg. Just a few seconds later a gang of pirates arrives and tear the inn apart looking for the orb. Jim, his mother, and Dr. Delbert Doppler manage to escape before they are capture. They arrive at the home of Dr. Doppler and Jim opens the package and discovers that the orb is a map of the universe and a map to Treasure Planet and Captain Flint's treasure. Dr. Doppler hires a crew and ship and the two set sail for a treasure hunt. Captain Amelia makes Jim a Cabin Boy and assigns him to John Silver, the ship's cook and a cyborg. Jim suspects John Silver is the cyborg. Originally John and Jim wanted nothing to do with each other, but during the course of the movie John sort of become the father figure Jim is looking for. During a black hole storm First Mate Mr. Arrow is lost to a black hole when his life line is cut by Scroop, but Jim blames himself because he was put in charge of securing the life lines. RLS Legacy reaches Treasure Planet a mutiny takes place. Jim, Captain Amelia, and Dr. Doppler crash land on the planet. Once on the planet, Jim shows Amelia that the map is safe, but when he takes it out of his pocket it is actually Morph. Amelia is injured during the landing and tells Jim to scout ahead to find shelter. Jim and Morph run into B.E.N. B.E.N. claims to have literally lost his memory. B.E.N. invites them to take shelter in his place. Later that evening B.E.N., Morph, and Jim escape through a back to and head back to the ship to get the map. The trio recover the map and head back to the hideout and find John Silver and his gang has capture Amelia and Doppler and are about to kill them when John cannot get the orb to work. Finally he strikes up a deal and the prisoners all go with the pirates. Jim finds Captain Flint hideout and the treasure, but in doing unknowingly so set off a destruct signal. Jim and B.E.N. are at Captain Flint ship when Jim finds B.E.N. and put it back on. B.E.N., with his memory restored tells Jim why Flint took it off in the first place. He did so no one would find his treasure and if they did would set off a plant self destruct signal. It is a race to get off the planet. Jim, B.E.N., and John arrive back at the ship; however the ship is damaged and does not lack the fire power to get off the planet. Jim tells Doppler to turn the ship around because he is heading for the orb to set the portal to his home world. Everybody makes it out of the explosion alive and Jim helps John to escape. John leaves Jim with some treasure so his mom can rebuild her inn. Captain Amelia and Dr. Delbert Doppler get married, Jim's mom opens a new inn, and Jim makes his mom proud of him. I am giving Treasure Planet an AAAA++++ for the use of combining 2D animation with 3D computer animation.

Summary of Treasure Planet
From the directors of Disney's ALADDIN and THE LITTLE MERMAID comes a spectacular new motion picture for the entire family. Buckle up for thrills and excitement as a classic story of friendship, courage, and self-discovery gets an incredible futuristic twist for an all-new generation. It's "another jewel in the crown of Disney animated classics" (Clay Smith, Access Hollywood). A secret map inspires a thrilling treasure hunt across the universe as young Jim Hawkins and a hilarious cosmic crew headed by the daring Captain Amelia set off in search of their destiny. Aboard a glittering space galleon, Jim meets the ship's cyborg cook, John Silver, who teaches him the value of friendship and the power of dreams. Jim soon teams up with his crazy new robot pal, B.E.N., and the shape-shifting Morph to discover a treasure greater than he ever imagined. Featuring an all-star voice cast including Emma Thompson, Martin Short, David Hyde Pierce, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Brian Murray, and Michael Wincott -- TREASURE PLANET is "a magical, inventive, and utterly delightful movie" (Paul Clinton, CNN).A pet project of Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules codirectors Ron Clements and John Musker, Treasure Planet is an ambitious animation hybrid (traditional animation combined with elaborate CGI backgrounds). It was the subject of numerous in-studio battles, but Disney office politics and a poor public reception distracted from its many admirable qualities, not the least being its overall fidelity to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Treasure Island. Curiously revamped as a sci-fi adventure with spacefaring galleons, flintlock ray guns, and extreme-sports attitude, it caters to an young audience for whom Stevenson's adventure is an unknown quantity, revving up the material with arcade-game excitements. It's entertaining, for what it is, and kids will surely enjoy it. Maybe next time, however, Disney will follow its own legacy and properly adapt Stevenson (as they did with their 1950 live-action classic) for a new, and hopefully receptive, generation. --Jeff Shannon
