Befriended by the ship's charismatic cyborg (part man, part machine) cook John Silver, Jim blossoms under his guidance, and shows the makings of a fine spacer as he and the alien crew battle supernovas, black holes and ferocious space storms. But even greater dangers lie ahead when Jim discovers that his trusted friend Sliver is actually a scheming pirate with mutiny in mind. Confronted with a betrayal that cuts deep into his soul, Jim is transformed from boy to man as he finds the strength to face down the mutineers and discovers a "treasure" greater than he had ever imagined.

    Eh, its an OK cartoon -- nothing special. I didn't find the upgrade from days of pirate ships to days of space ships that special.

    Standard film, mediocre, nothing further, worth one watch or two.

    A Disney animated version of "Treasure Island". The only difference is that the film is set in outer space with alien worlds and other galactic wonders.

Treasure Planet doesn't have the charm of Disney's last homegrown release, Lilo & Stitch, or the dazzling artistry of Spirited Away. But it's a capable and diverting holiday season adventure for a fam... full review

Sci-fi meets sea-faring fantasy, and the mix isn't half bad. full review

The adventures that youngsters act out on the french fry-littered seats of the family minivan will surely be more exciting, and more imaginative, than the film itself. full review

    Treasure island with science ficton stuffed down it's throat. Not a good combo. Although hard to take at first, the second half of the movie is a bit more believable, but still I wouldn't recommend it.
