In this adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND, Disney presents a fantastic space adventure. Jim Hawkins (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a teenage boy with a taste for adventure who seems to always be in trouble, much to the chagrin of his hardworking mother (Laurie Metcalf). But when he comes into possession of a high-tech map leading to Treasure Planet where an ancient cache of jewels and gold lies buried, it's like a dream come true. His mother's friend Doctor Doppler (David Hyde Pierce) arranges for a ship, and the two set sail, traversing the universe on course for the treasure. Captain Amelia (Emma Thompson), a domineering feline, is in charge of a rough-and-tumble crew of odd creatures, who may have their own designs on the treasure. Jim is placed under the supervision of John Silver (Brian Murray), the cook, who is both his father figure and his adversary. Slowly but surely the ship makes its way toward its destination, as Jim comes of age, learning to follow his heart, do what's right, and be a leader.
With stunning computer animation that combines both space and sea elements, TREASURE PLANET called upon the skills of 350 artists, animators, and technicians. The result is dazzling, colorful, and fast-moving, with some very realistic-looking creatures including variations on spiders, robots, and whales.

This space age version of Stevenson's oft-filmed story still keeps a period look, with spaceships resembling galleons. But its visual flair does not compensate for its uninvolving script.

Great Fun
Great fun. The usual high standard animation you expect from a Disney feature, although a little less self-parody than many recent efforts and not a musical ... read more »

Lacklustre affair for Disney.
I had heard alot of bad press for this Disney outing. Some of it is perhaps warranted, because the characterisations are poor along with the voice acting. What ... read more »

worth renting
This is one of the few Disney movies that I am able to watch without feeling nauseated by the lavish dollops of sentimentality. Granted, it does have a Disney-... read more »

Ok
As a family we all found this film a bit slow...
