Critics Consensus

Though its characterizations are weaker than usual, Treasure Planet offers a fast-paced, beautifully rendered vision of outer space.

Decent Films

By following its story as closely as they have, the filmmakers have retained much of what made the novel a classic.

Rated: B+

Chicago Reader

It's laced with literate humor, and the directors cite N.C. Wyeth's illustrations for the 1911 Scribner's edition of Treasure Island as the inspiration for their marvelously detailed fantasy world.

While there are pieces of a great film scattered throughout Treasure Planet, the film is a clear disappointment.

A splendid adventure film that doesn't mistreat its characters under the weight of the most hackneyed archetypes of the company. [Full Review in Spanish]

Behind The Lens

Another artistically masterful animated classic from Disney, Treasure Planet is like a super-nova, energetically exploding in a panorama of eye-popping candy colors.

On the contrary to the stigma surrounding this film, Treasure Planet should have been a smash hit from Disney! It finds itself blending the childish side of Disney (such as comedy, heart, and an easy to follow story) with serious adult themes (single parenthood, feelings of being misunderstood, and overall angst) into a beautiful peace of art. This film still doesn't get its flowers. All I can say is watch it for yourself, it's truly one of the best pieces of media Disney has ever released

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
