How sad is this?

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Once again I discovered a movie that makes me surprised I haven't heard of it before. Apparently it flopped. Why, I don't know. It really is a pretty decent animation movie.It takes the old story about the Treasure Island that is loved by many and transfers it into space. Now this is where I have some complaints. I mainly watched the movie because of it. As a child I loved outer space stories and seeing a beloved adventure in outer space could be awesome. But for some reason it really doesn't feel like an outer space adventure. It still all looks like the old setting just with some characters looking like they are not from Earth. This kind of disappointed me personally. I wish they went further and made it more of a space adventure.But other than that it is a pretty good movie. We have the male protagonist trying to find himself and his destiny. And we have some other characters that help him on this adventure. We get some even to wonder about if they are good or bad.The animation is done really good, the voices are well selected and I absolutely liked the fighting and chasing sequences that were done in a very beautiful way,I have no doubts most kids will like the movie unless they also won't have enough of the space in it.

There are a few problems: I didn't like B.E.N., the plot wasn't the best, and I'm not a fan of the early-2000s trope of putting CGI animation over standard animation. But Jim Hawkins was a great protagonist, Captain Amelia was wonderful, the animation was still good despite the CG, and Long John Silver is one of my favorite Disney villains of all time.

An adaptation of Stevenson's novel 'Treasure Island' but with a plethora of sci-fi twists to freshen up the story. A childhood favourite of mine and among the more underrated Disney animations in their classic canon, it will leave you staying aboard as opposed to walking the plank. Troublemaker Jim Hawkins stumbles across a map that reveals the location of the formidable Treasure Planet, a celestial body believed to hold Flint's universal riches. Cyborg John Silver hears news of the map and, with the help of his crew, lead a mutiny to obtain the gold for himself. Reinterpretations of classic stories are always interesting, particularly when the links between them are conveyed with clarity. Hawkins, Silver, B.E.N, Bones and the planet itself all resemble key plot points of the novel, yet are reinvented to create a fresh plot that introduces the famous story to a new generation. For the most part, it works extremely well. As with any Disney classic, it's filled with imaginative visuals that will delight the eyes as they glance into the depths of outer space, witnessing supernovas, black holes and an insectoid who commits murder. Maybe scrap the last point, but it remains visually interesting throughout the short runtime. The pacing is extremely rapid as if skysurfing across the glistening stars. The character designs relished in anthropomorphism, from your average cat and dog to a floating blob that can morph into any form. Consistently retaining a sense of innovation and memorability. Voice casting was good particularly Gordon-Levitt, Thompson and Murray who inject astronomical life into their characters. The final act was notably gripping and who doesn't love a tense countdown to total obliteration! The characterisation was slightly on the thin side, particularly the bond between Hawkins and Silver, which does make certain characters unmemorable (seriously, no one remembers Delbert Doppler...). The overuse of 2D hand drawn animation atop 3D CGI felt gimmicky. However, the film retains its position as one of my favourites.

This movie succeeds with me for the same reason it failed at the box office. It is creative, different, and it does not follow the safety rails of a typical Disney movie, it does way more and I applaud it for that.
