Treasure Planet, pretty much Treasure Island with a futuristic twist, Jim Hawkins off hunting for treasure. A tale of a young man going from a humble background into a much wider world (or Universe in this case) than he is used to and how he survives on his travels. It's an idea thats inspired movies such as Goonies and this is quite a nicely different retelling of the tale. Anything that involves pirates, mutinies and treasure hunting has got to be good.

Visually for sets and location backgrounds it looks excellent and is generally a wonderful adaptation of Robert Louis Stephenson's Treasure Island. I've seen a lot of different versions including The Muppet one but this is by far the best of them all. The animation and characters are excellent, the voice cast aren't all that bad but they aren't easily recognisable voices as I personally could only recognise the voices David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane from Frasier) and Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee).

It was very well made and even if it did make a loss for Disney it has the makings of a film that could become a future cult classic for characters like Morph and Ben who may not have huge roles but certainly stand out when they are on screen. Silver is quite a lovable rogue too but certainly has his dark moments that might scare one or two younger viewers.

I absolutely loved it, even if it is supposed to be for the kids. It's suitably dark in the appropriate places and those scenes might a tad scary for the younger kiddies but if you've read the book or seen any other version you at least know where to expect bad things to happen to our hero. I'd recommend it to kids of all ages.
