“I’m Still Here” is one of the best underrated songs Disney has commissioned.

Another Fun Fact: A sequel was planned with Willem Dafoe set to voice the villainous Ironbeard, but it was cancelled based on this movie's failure at the box office.

I always thought that the actual planet looks gray and dull, and then I realized it's actually an artificial planet, and the only thing that can survive on it is fungal life

The whole video I was thinking "Oh sure, you're giving Treasure Planet another chance but not Hercules?" And then the ending happened.

I’m convinced that if Disney didn’t screw with this Movie’s marketing, Treasure Planet would’ve been one of Disney’s most beloved movies.

I love Jim and Silver's relationship in this movie, how Silver starts as a villain before forming a real bond with Jim, and eventually choosing to save Jim over the treasure.

So personally I think Jim’s appearance is genius and really nice and simple. He’s the only one that seems to wear clothes that would fit in a futuristic setting unlike everyone else wearing 18ty century garb. However by the end of the movie he wears a stunning outfit of someone who has chosen to embrace the world around him instead of closing himself off to it. Also the fact that his color scheme goes from black to brown to white to show his growth and maturity throughout the film is a nice touch.

Not enough words to describe this masterpiece. I love that Jim pulls a mentor out of silver, and in return, silver pulls a young man out of a delinquent. Everyone needs that kind of mentor: to pull you out of your bullcrap and remind you to keep your head in the game.

This movie, "Atlantis: the Lost Empire", and Don Bluth's "Titan A.E." is the Holy Trinity of 2000's animated Sci-fi for me.

Fun Fact: did you know during the production testing the robotic arm of John Silver they used Captain hook's animation from Peter pan as a Test

One thing that Doug forgot to mention is about the horrible death of Scroop. He was literaly sent to space to die. PS: Honestly I feel bad for Mr Arrow's death. He was a competent officer and took his job seriously. He didn't deserve to die

Treasure Planet is one of those movies that hit a special place for me as a kid and has meant a lot to me growing up. So it’s hard for me to honestly critique it.

4:29 There’s speculation that Sarah Hawkins actually had Jim when she was in her teens, hence why she not only looks so young even when Jim’s a Teen, but also why things ultimately fell apart with Jim’s dad.

This and Atlantis are under appreciated gems from Disney. I wish we had sequels to each, as there were plans, but they were unsuccessful at the box office

Treasure Planet and Muppet Treasure Island are probably my 2 favorite interpretations. 🤘😎🪙🏴‍☠️

Amelia was cool: professional but wasn't above being jovial; tough and skilled fighter but preferred to fight alongside allies; willing to left behind/sacrificed when injured/captured but thankful for her rescue. She and Dilbert had good chemistry ... a sequel following her 3 daughters and 1 son on treasure adventures would've made a nice Direct-to-DVD Movie or even a TV Series.

Another Fun Fact: Animator Glen Keane drew from real life inspiration when animating Silver's "You've got the makings of greatness in you" speech to Jim. In his words, "I was seventeen years old and I had been fighting for a starting position on the football team as a halfback. And there was another player who was competing for the same position and he was a heck of a lot bigger and the head coach's favorite guy. I worked really hard and I got the starting position on this game and I was very proud of it. The game started and I played three plays and got the ball once. Then the head coach took me out and put the other guy in for the rest of the game. I never played again and I was crushed. As a seventeen-year-old, that's your life. You want your chance to shine. I had it but the coach took it away. "Afterwards in the parking lot, the assistant coach, Mickey Ryan, a great guy who spoke with his heart and always had a twinkle in his eye, put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Glen, you're gonna do great things. You're gonna get that starting position. That wasn't right what happened.' And I could see that he really cared. There were tears in his eyes and I started to cry too. I lived that scene with Jim and Silver on the boat when Silver encourages Jim after a big setback. It was one of those things where you try to animate what you lived through and hope you can even get close to it."

People can say what they will about "Treasure Planet" but it's a Disney film that I truly love! It's a fun mix of Science Fiction and pirates.
