Customer Reviews of Treasure Planet

Amazing visuals but lacks something
This movie was very well done. The special effects were excellent and the story was good, following closely to the novel Treasure Island. There's just one problem I have with it, in that, it lacks a certain Disney quality. The quality that was in Lion King, Alladin, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc. All of these newer Disney flicks (Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, Treasure Planet) really show us how far we've come in animation but are different as they deal with the future/space/weird stuff unlike the more contemporary films that are based on fairy tales and such. Now that Disney has decided to branch out toward bigger and better things with sci-fi action movies, it's a little startling. I guess I'm just not used to these newer Disney movies with all these aliens and high tech machinery. I'd like Disney to make one more prince/princess/fantasy movie before they bring us into the next generation because the older films, I think, is what Disney did best. But Treasure Planet otherwise was an awesome feature with a wonderful pulsating soundtrack. (I really enjoyed the two songs that are sung and would buy the soundtrack solely for those while they were accompanied by a terrific score.)

Best Disney film in the last 5 years
I watch 'em all. With a 4 year old kid, I've been buying every animated Disney film they put on dvd. Hey, I like 'em myself. Anyway, they hit a big dry spell a few years ago, so my expectations for Treasure Planet weren't very high. Not including all the straight to video crud, their big budget features just hadn't done much for me lately. Atlantis, the Tigger movie, Emperor's New Groove, Lilo & Stitch, that horrible Piglet movie I saw at the theater a few weeks ago....I mean, the BS was really stacking up. It wasn't bad animation, but there's no magical feeling you get watching them. Then here came Treasure Planet and opened up doors I thought Disney had closed for good. There's a sense of adventure to it, it's not predictable, the characters don't feel written. I've watched it several times and I still want to see it again. To me, this is Disney's best work since Aladdin. I can't give it 5 stars because it's not perfect, but only for a couple of reasons. B.E.N. is annoying, and I think that the climax on Treasure Planet just kind of lacked something. But the buildup of the story and the first half the film is just flawless. Check this one out. It's well worth it.

In the top 2 of modern Disney films!
This is up with The Lion King in quality and is modern Disney animation at it's best, unlike the shockingly bad 'Brother Bear'.
Treasure Planet also has real touches from old Disney like Peter Pan, you could see the characters in a line-up with these classic icons.
I went with a group of adults and we ALL found it very funny and yes, I was on the edge of my seat at one point!
I don't understand any criticsm for this - and I' not one of those Disneyoids who likes any Disney film either.
