By following its story as closely as they have, the filmmakers have retained much of what made the novel a classic. Go to Full Review
Bill Stamets Chicago Reader 09/09/2008
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. Go to Full Review

While there are pieces of a great film scattered throughout Treasure Planet, the film is a clear disappointment. Go to Full Review
Sergio Benítez Espinof 04/25/2020
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] Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/09/2019
Another artistically masterful animated classic from Disney, Treasure Planet is like a super-nova, energetically exploding in a panorama of eye-popping candy colors. Go to Full Review

Jagoda W @Sillybilly Jan 13 HJIOWUEHUDICKJW BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN‼‼‼‼ SEEN IT SO MUCH WITH MY DAD THAT HE DESPISES IT NOW See more Noah H @Noah85 Jan 12 Such an underrated Disney movie. Personally, I've never read the story, "Treasure island" but I absolutely LOVE sci-fi and I ADORED this. The alien designs and spaceships are SOOO COOOOL!!! THE ROBOT IS SOOO FUNNNY TOOO! It's such a fun space adventure in my opinion. Voice acting was great as well and so was the animation. Joseph Gorden-Levitt's Jim Hawkins is a really charming protagonist and I think he had good chemistry with Brian Murray's John Silver. James Newton Howard's score also completely ELEVATES the thrilling action sequences. Totally worth a watch if you love both animation and sci-fi. Can't recommend it enough. See more John P @johnoceanpaul Jan 4 Treasure Planet is an ambitious and deeply heartfelt animated film that deserves far more recognition than it received. It takes the familiar bones of Treasure Island and transforms them into a rich science fiction adventure that feels imaginative rather than gimmicky. The world is vibrant and carefully built, with space treated like an open sea filled with danger, wonder, and possibility. What truly sets the film apart is its emotional core. Jim Hawkins is not a perfect hero but a lost and guarded teenager struggling with self-worth and abandonment. His relationship with John Silver is complex and moving, blending mentorship, trust, and inevitable betrayal in a way that feels honest and mature. The film does not offer easy answers, and that sincerity gives it lasting power. With beautiful animation, a soaring score, and themes of growth and belonging, Treasure Planet is a rare Disney film that respects its audience and lingers long after it ends. See more P M @pepijn Jan 1 it's a nice fantasy movie for both kids and adults. sadly it is/was never really advertisted by Disney.
