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.

For years I have heard the tale of the legendary box office flop that is Treasure Planet, and I finally decided to watch it. I am absolutely shocked that this movie did not perform well, it is possibly one of the best animated adventures I have ever seen. Its story was imaginative and the design of everything was so beautiful and original. This movie is so much fun to watch, I definitely recommend it!

This movie is amazing. The animation is beautiful, the characters are well developed, and the plot is very captivating. There is difficult relationships between characters which make them feel very human in ways Disney can often struggle to portray. I believe this is one of the best Disney movies ever made and I would go as far as to describe it as life changing.

It’s a pretty good childhood movie, although I always prefer Lilo & Stitch. This is such a perfect father and son film, on the count of Jim and Silver’s relationship. Kinda like Star Lord and Yondu.

I can't believe how low the tomatometer for this movie is, considering it was my favourite movie when I was younger, and the only movie me and my brother could both agree to watch! The animation and worldbuilding is excellent - a steampunk world created with a blend of 2D and CGI animation, filled with interesting gadgets and quirky characters. While its target audience is children, it has some mature themes like abandonment, betrayal, etc -which I think is great! Some of the newer animated movies feel as if they are created just to entertain children, lest they traumatise them with 'adult' things like Morals and Lessons. If you're looking for some quality 2000s animation to watch, I can't recommend this movie enough. Fans of Atlantis, Hercules, The Road to Eldorado will probably love this movie.
