Nell Minow Common Sense Media Outer-space pirate treasure hunt lots of fun; fab animation. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus 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+ Oct 29, 2008 Full Review Bill Stamets 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. Sep 9, 2008 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn While there are pieces of a great film scattered throughout Treasure Planet, the film is a clear disappointment. Dec 25, 2023 Full Review Sergio Benítez Espinof 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] Apr 25, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias 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.

Daisy V Inventive artistic expression with top notch environmental design. A unique set of characters with well-done design. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review SkyRo P Let me share my thoughts on Disney's animated film, Treasure Planet. From the moment you see it, the character designs are so enchanting that you can't help but feel like you're about to embark on a magical journey. The only character whose name I can consistently recall is Jim Hawkins, despite having watched the movie numerous times. I’ve tried to fully engage with the story, but somehow, I never seem to remember the plot or finish the film. I genuinely want to appreciate this movie and grasp its emotional depth. However, each time I watch it, I find myself distracted, unable to focus on the unfolding narrative and instead drifting into my own thoughts. This is one of those films I hoped to enjoy from start to finish. The characters are intriguing, and I wish I could connect with them better. Unfortunately, it feels like they arrived at a time when they just didn’t resonate with younger audiences the same way as other films from the Disney Renaissance. It’s a shame because the visual style is quite imaginative, but the story feels a bit underwhelming, and the characters fail to hold my attention. I encourage you to give it a shot and let it have its moment in the animation spotlight. It’s one of those films that seems to have faded over time. Even Disney itself doesn’t often reference it, which speaks volumes about its place in their legacy; it feels like even they have moved on from this particular film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review James P It’s a beautiful fun and overall great watch of storytelling that’s lost to Disney these days due to many factors it’s been one of my favourite films for the longest time but this is only my opinion and would suggest you watch it and decide for yourself Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Truth Y I just love this movie. Great action packed coming of age exploration and doing the right thing. Beautiful movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Spencer S TREASURE PLANET may have just instantly show up to my favorite Disney animated movie ever. Such a splendid adventure and adaptation of the seminal Treasure Island. It really does everything perfect, space pirates may ust be the coolest genre of all time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review James E A wonderfully beautiful movie with a great story and heartfelt messages. Anyone with parental problems can find comfort in this film, as it tackles issues like that with a fun space pirate coating over it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
