[@estebanpineros9409]

Loved that scene too. The fun part is, I don't doubt it at all, because throughout the movie Silver came to love Jim to the point that all the riches in the world didn't mean anything compared to losing him. We even see this be true, when he parts with the nadful of trasure he recovered, in order to help Jim and his family.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

It is THE best quote imo. 😅 The other one is, "Look at ye, glowin' like a solar fire..."

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

I’ve always respected how they made the decision to have Jim’s dad just flat out leave. Not disappear mysteriously on an adventure, not die, not sacrifice himself or something, just flat out “I’m leaving forever, bye” Not only is that far more realistic and honestly pretty relatable (more people can say they’ve had parents go through a divorce than a parent dying when young), but it makes Silver’s half truth/half manipulation of Jim feel way more believable. If Jim’s dad had just died as he did in the original story, you would have had a character who was well aware of what parental love was and could see through some of Silver’s bullshit. But Silver giving him that pep talk after Arrow dies is so, so much better.

[@CatHouseholdd]

This movie was a passion project that broke the mold of what was considered a "Disney Movie". It was during the 90's and early 2000's when Disney had the guts to put out something truly meaningful, without bashing us over the head with a "message". It didn't hold our hand and didn't hint at the bad things.

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

That whole speech, combined with Jim's reaction & Howard's score, almost made me cry no joke. Jim had just come off thinking he was responsible for Mr. Arrow's demise and felt awful, especially because he thought he'd found a place of belonging on the ship. Although Scroop tipped off Silver that it was actually his doing, Silver obviously couldn't tell Jim that without blowing the whole mission, so he comforted him in the best way he could. By doing so, Silver ended up revealing just how much his growing friendship with Jim had meant to him, and even surprised himself with how deep he got after Jim left. It was such a fantastic scene between the two. And the fact that Scroop was revealed to have been eavesdropping added a great layer of intensity with its conclusion. I watched TP for the first time last week and loved it, and this was one of my favorite scenes. I now understand what the hype has been all about. :)

[@ravenlord4]

I loved Treasure Planet. I'll never understand why (nor forgive) Disney for bailing on it.

[@xanderellem3646]

As to the why, it was pure spite, it was a movie they absolutely didn't want to make but were contractually obligated to make with a previous agreement with either its (directors or producers can't remember which) so they gave it fuck all marketing and released it at a very inopportune time of the year, they didn't want to make it but were legally obligated to so they set it up to fail.

[@Kaempfdog]

@Alexander Supertramp It's an appreciation. I admire hand control of that level and consistency. As an artist myself one must separate and appreciate how we got to digital. And people have avoided making things look hand drawn in digital movies for quite some time. So I hardly say its a full replacement too. I would say there's plenty of reasons to prefer hand-drawn. I'm not ragging on your opinion of preference towards digital. It's just a very corporate standpoint to deny any upsides.

[@birtalanlorant5572]

@Alexander Supertramp Machine built things are/can be superior to everything humans can do, but even in watchmaking, the top tier watches (lets say $30K and above) are all hand made, with hundreds if not thousands hours of labour for each piece. Why? Because we appreciate someone working with it for such a long time. I bet some really finely tuned CNC machine could do in 30 mintues what a human does in dozens of hours, but it still wouldnt have a soul. There is a beauty in hard work.

[@Tcrumpen]

As everyone says this is one of those criminally underrated Disney films, having mature tones that not every family is a perfect family. Not every kids get a parental figure from both parents. In Jim's case he had no father figure at all until Silver, having to deal with the betrayal again from his '2nd dad' as it were is gut wrenching and also as stated, he was a minor. Not many minors can take that kind of thing very well

[@MissCaraMint]

I mean in the book Jim’s dad actually died in chapter 3 while Billy Bones is staying as their guest. It’s kinda pointed out how he was still drinking and being his usual rude self even on the day of the funeral of Jim’s dad. And then all hell breaks loose. The movie made a choice here to change this part of the story. I think it works pretty well. Certainly ads some new dimension to Jim’s own character in the movie, though I think the struggling through all this adventure while still in greef could have been an interesting choice too.

Not quite. They did an existing animation test with Captain Hook to see if the 3D arm would still have sufficient life and vibrancy to match with the rest of a lively 2D animation style or if it would be distractingly off-kilter. Needless to say, it passed with flying colors

You made the comment about liking silver as an adult. As someone who saw this very young, I agree with the wonderful temptation to live life as an outlaw with zero cares being seductive and that silver was inherently evil at first. But that only added to the sympathy and choice present in silver throughout. Silver teaches Jim self reliance and independence while Jim reminds Silver that some things matter more than even your lifelong dreams. I feel they both grew and benefitted equally from their relationship and what is amazing is how each of them choose to act as a result. Jim choosing his own honorable path, and Silver choosing Jim's future and potential, someone else, for once over fulfilling himself. Keep doing what you are doing, brilliant sir!!!

IIRC, the video actually talks about how what Disney did to Treasure Planet was the mistake.

[@nfgames8322]

I've always liked the fact that Silver's character isn't just black & white in terms of the cliché 'starts bad, turns good'. There is a lot of grey in between. He is a pirate on a mission for riches and isn't afraid to be the bad guy when he has to, but he also has a pure heart of gold that he obviously hides from the other pirates, similar to how most men IRL will hide their emotions to stay strong to those around, or act tough in a sense, but that doesn't stop him from privately encouraging Jim anyway because he see's Jim is obviously hurting deep down and needs guidance on growing up. He meets Jim and over the movie he finds that the best treasure is actually friendship and morality, NOT money. He literally gave up parts of himself in his search for Treasure Planet, but he couldn't give up Jim. He lets go of the boat full of treasure and saves his new friend instead which ends his mistakes, shows he's ready to be a better man and he ultimately finds himself in that decision. In my opinion Silver is the greatest father figure character in any Disney film, or any film, and his 'Makings of Greatness' speech to Jim is 10/10, it's such a shame Disney failed this film on purpose. They could have easily promoted this film in the right way, made a TON of money and pushed for the Pixar style anyway.. but nope :(

[@thesardonicpig3835]

After all his misdeeds, I wouldn't exactly call Silver a "heart of gold," yet he is definitely a heart of ... silver. :D I think he is the best father figure of all Disney films I know, because he is the most deeply flawed. He is purposely written as the most unlikely character to fill that slot - greedy, ruthless, scheming, treacherous etc., the kind of character whose dark aspects would instantly whisk him out of the "sympathetic" slot in any modern Disney movie. But for that reason, he's all the more haunting. He isn't deified like Mufasa, he's profoundly, almost mundanely human. And for that reason, his choice of Jim over the gold in the end hits home so much harder.

Now I'm 18, and I'm still a little teary-eyed when I reflect on Jim's story, his relationship with Silver, and how much it has mirrored my life's story to this point. Treasure Planet is the gem in Disney's long buried chest of forgotten films, that has yet to lose it's magic. I just hope more generations will get to see it, too.

[@Mcaark]

Silver is such a good character. Fighting an irredeemable villain is easy. Fighting a friend, who helped you become better than you were? That’s... that’s a struggle. You don’t have to labor out a certain world view to understand how a villain might think of himself as justified *Thanos, cough cough* You understand, Silver knows he kind of sucks, and he hates himself for it. But he consciously makes the choices to be the bad guy, and doesn’t try to make excuses for it beyond his own selfish desire. But it’s the shreds of good we root for. It’s because Silver has some genuinely redeeming qualities. Qualities absent in other characters. Most write off Jim, or at most, tolerate him. But Silver does something we like (treating Jim well) that we don’t really see flushed out with other characters. Silver is a character that seems fantastically real. We want to see him succeed when he does good. And mourn when he chooses to do something bad. I should sit down and read the original book.

[@captain_commenter8796]

This film is CRIMINALLY underrated. It is great in almost every way, the characters, world building, voice acting, animation EVERYTHING

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

I love this movie and the shit Jim went through with his dad because it feels more realistic compared to a lot of Disney films. His dad didn’t die, or was killed by a pirate, or he never knew him as a lot of Disney films tend to do. He just left. He left when Jim was old enough to understand what leaving meant. And that hits home for a lot more people growing up. Treasure Planet is my favorite of the still 2D Disney films, and ranks high in all films for me

[@batscale]

Honestly, I didn't even consider the negative side of Silver's side to the father-son like relationship. I watched the movie first when I was a kid, where it became a favorite (didn't know why at the time), and as a teenager I rediscovered my love for Treasure Planet. As someone closer to Jim's age, I've had similar talks with my own father that reflect the moments Silver supports Jim. So things like the death threats being "tossed aside" flew over my head, even when rewatching the movie several times. I was from the perspective of the child/son (Jim), which seems to be more forgiving. However, @CinemaWins perspective from the father figure (Silver) reminds me of how we all see movie's from different perspectives. Things like timing, personal relationships, and background effect those perspectives. The comment made me go "huh" rather than defensive like I would have expected. I enjoy the new perspective, it makes me want to sit down and watch the movie again to understand that one segment. It probably helps that along with the text there is the wary-full voice over. Once again, reminds me that seeing text alone and hearing a voice over them can be the bar between anger and understanding. Thanks for the reminder. :) Great video, @CinemaWins, and Happy Holidays to anyone reading this!

I always actually liked the kid and Silver's relationship. As you said, life is messy, Silver was a bad guy but clearly something in there was still good to find. The imperfection in it all is why I love it, everything is never black and white

[@ItsThatJo]

Where I'm from, the dubbed version of this film used to be on the television all the time when I was a kid, and I always was so happy when I saw it was on! In my head, up until recently, I thought it was a successful Disney movie (maybe not princess level, but still). I was very disheartened to hear that it flopped in the cinemas, it definitely didn't deserve that. It's such a great, BEAUTIFUL movie! Also, Jim was definitely one of my first crushes as a kid. Looking back at it as a young adult, I wonder if he's the root of what I now know is "my type" haha

[@MrIce-tl7wo]

While I do agree, that there definetly is the risk of children taking away the wrong message with Silver, I would actually argue that the reason why portrayals like these are so important, is because they teach kids to SEPERATE different aspects of a character/person. Learning that the good things you do don't excuse abusive or manipulative behavior. But also that a persons mistakes don't invalidate them treating others well and caringly. I would even go so far as to say that your concern of "A kid might walk away thinking that if an adult treats you like Silver, it's ok because he never did anything TOO bad" actually stems from the usual LACK of messages like this. When everything is "black and white" that forces you to put people into these categories and they are either fully good or fully bad. A lot of times people excusing or tolerating horrible behavior comes from them not being able to see others as complex individuals. They don't want to accept bad behavior as such, because that meant the parental figure/loved one had to be a bad person. And how could they be bad, if they clearly care at other times or have in the past. Most people don't like condemning someone they love. Conversely other people often tend to see any negative aspect or behavior as proof of a malicious/evil disposition. Believing that you either perfectly fit into their idea of a good moral person or are an irredeemable monster. Too often they think treating something as a grey area means acting as if something clearly "black" were "white" or the other way around. Not beeing able to see anything outside the extremes. Lastly it also causes problems with ones self-image. Someone might have problems accepting ones own mistakes and flaws because they don't want to see themself as a bad person. Or they do see their errors, but can't admit them, because they fear ostracisation from everyone around them. So while you do run the risk of seeming appologetic about bad behavior, when implementing characters and morals like Silver into your story, in the long run it's much more harmful to never have kids deal with these ideas.

Reading your comment was amazing. A striking analysis. I have nothing further to add, take my like.

[@ThirrinDiamond]

You're totally right Theres also the recent revolting trend of "oh they had a sad backstory thats why theyre bad" vying for us to care for murderers/kidnappers and worse? Like i dont give a rats ass on what led them here, it doesnt take away what they have just done. Like i'm very worried kids will start to think objectively bad people arent bad just cus they had a sad childhood cus i know i wouldve and did as an abused kid. Like no matter what you go through, it doesn't mean you suddenly have a free pass to make others suffer the same way or worse :/ Feels v much like it'll excuse bullies for their behaviour so they don't reflect on themselves (even tho thats no different than the black and white dychotomy you described) Not to mention some people are just bad despite nothing wrong ever happening so it's like -__- Like there are kids nowadays who in the middle of daylight kick grandmothers in the middle of a macdonalds and people do nothing to stop them. (Happened to my close friends grandma) So we deffo need better pop culture to teach kids cus apparently people aint parenting 🙄

[@maxidexi3690]

Well I'm surprised that one little detail is overlooked in the movie when silver has a father figure qoutes or lessons he only shows he real eye and the opposite is true when he talks as a pirate and as a villain he's mechanical eyes are the one that's more visible

[@churchboy4609]

Oooo, I never noticed that!

[@estebanpineros9409]

I like your comment. It also makes sense because as he implied, his robotic parts came from sacrifices to reach his dream. You can almost argue that the mechanical parts represent the souless pirate, whereas the rest is his humanity, which is why his human factions are on display when he's being kind to Jim. The metaphor can be taken even futher, as we see his metal arm is the one to grab onto the treasure-filled boat, while his human arm reaches to try and save Jim, and while he doesn't lose the appendage, he lets go of his dream with his pirate hand at the end, in that moment making a decision about which part of him to listen to: the cunning and selfish pirate vs the man who sees himself as almost Jim's dad. I'd say that the ending where Jim lets Silver get away isn't icky, since Jim's thanking and repaying Silver for all the things he did for Jim, because he saw that they were true and sincere because of Silver's sacrifice. That moment made Jim once more care for Silver, and letting him leave was Jim's way of thanking him for everything, If Silver hadn't saved Jim, he could have probably escaped with his fortune, but he chose to give it up and risk imprisonment, so Jim saw it as fair to give the man a chance, the same way Silver gave him a chance when most others saw him as a washed up loser with no future.

[@imastupid5876]

Silver is one of my favorite characters all time. I love his dynamic with Jim so much. I especially loved that, in the scene where the pirates are getting frustrated that they don’t see where the map has lead them- when they shove Jim to the ground- Silver looks so conflicted. In his facial expressions and bodily movements, you can tell he’s struggling to decide which side he wants to be on: to encourage his lackeys or stand up for Jim. Even if he’s also incredibly frustrated, he almost does break his character early to stand up for Jim in that moment. Also, every scene where Silver’s encouraging Jim and giving him wise words- like when he was making Jim feel better about the death that he thought he caused or when they’re saying goodbye to one another at the end- it always makes me cry. I was born in 2003 and watched this movie when I was young, probably because I think my mom found Jim hot- fucking weird. I only managed to watch it again once I got Disney +. It may not be the best movie, but I still absolutely love it, mostly just for the father/son dynamic Silver and Jim have.

[@watchitonpoob]

One thing I'd like to mention that I think was missed. At the beginning of the movie Sarah (Jim's mom) talks about hoping one day she'll see that happy little boy, bringing home a new pet, asking if they can keep it. And at the end of the movie Jim brings home morph, which I thought was an interesting little detail. I still think showing up with the dying pirate is directly related to the line and a fitting transition for that scene. But I think it also counts as foreshadowing/ payoff through morph

[@JustQuibbs]

The relationship Jim and Silver have is a relationship that is not always represented in kids movies, but a lot of kids do experience. They either feel abandoned, unwanted or actively put themselves in a situation where living by social norms felt like pain. Coming across bad figures/role models would seal their fate for an incredibly hard life of bad decisions Jim is a Rebel, he is against the system, but he loves his mother (although he doesn't always show it). Putting Silver in his path, a guy who is torn between being a heartless pirate and a caring stranger. He is not heartless, but needs to appear as such to gain respect from his crew. He wants treasure, had misguided dreams of getting it and got this far by rebelling the system...and rebelling against himself. Silver is a duality, Jim sees this. Jim gets the choice by leaving everything behind and chase a dream OR to grow up and become a responsible adult, someone his mother would be proud to welcome home. As Jim said, at the starts he would have gladly picked Silver up on his offer...but it is Silver's sacrifice, together with the life lessons taught to him by the Captain and the Professor, that sways him to become the son his mother welcomed home. Silver, for how horribly he could be, could not hurt a child. And Jim knew that if he took up the life of Silver, one day he had to make a choice of hurting a child...or leaving a child without a father/mother. Jim became good out of experience. Experience gained from a one in a lifetime journey, and it all worked out for the best. If anything, this movie is unrealistic, as it is nearly impossible for a story that big to be told in such short of a time. But when you put that aside, the movie makes sense in every single way. It is a good message, one that represents bad choices and the duality of choice. There is not really a right choice, because right means something else to everyone. There is only a choice, and how you choose to live with that choice. Jim chooses to Rebel. Jim chooses to trust. Jim chooses to become a respectable member of society. ...but Jim could only make those choices after experiencing life as he did. Thank you for reading, have a nice day!

[@daisukeakihito9832]

As someone whose dad also barely was in the picture, this is my honest to god favourite film ever made, I've rewatched it pretty regularly every year since I was a kid until now close to 30 and with a family of my own. It always spoke to me, first from Jim's perspective and these days more from Silver's. The fact so many people haven't even heard of it is such a shame. Post-edit: Also speaking of Silver, the whole him manipulating Jim and it being iffy, Silver was very much the antagonist at the start of the movie, cold, ruthless pirate that was there for the treasure and nothing else and wouldn't shy from killing in order to reach it. However, much like his influence on Jim was key for Jim, it goes both ways, Jim changed Silver during their journey so much he got stuck between wanting to be a role model for Jim and the pirate he was, he knew he couldn't show weakness to his crew as they would probably mutiny on him and kill him in a blink of an eye, but he still couldn't bring himself to kill Jim either so he chose to play it the best way he could, keeping Jim safe and playing the bad guy front in exchange for losing him and his trust, a painful sacrifice only a loving dad could ever make in that scenario. A front that shatters in that final moment when he chooses to save Jim over his own lifelong dream, yes it's just money, but it was something he's essentially lived for and sacrificed his own body to achieve one day.

I agree wholeheartedly. It was one of my favorite soundtracks growing up, and I still listen to it sometimes when I'm brainstorming scenes to write.

One of my three kids' favorites. I took them all to see it in the theater when it came out . They were four, six and seven. Two boys and a girl. They all loved it and had a great time. They all still remember that day and speak of it fondly. The movie spurned many questions of parenting, morals, and adventure. I enjoyed the vocabulary and am happy that someone else finally noticed the complexity added in to a kids movie. When the youngest (the girl) had to write her first book report in jr high, she chose "Treasure Island". I asked her why and she told me because of this movie that she saw as a little girl.

[@picklesthewise]

Things I appreciate EVEN MORE about this movie after all these years: 1. Already loved the animation the first time I saw it, but now that 2D is something of a rarity I appreciate even more how much love and care was put into the details. There are so many different types of creatures with all different body types in this movie, and they all move so well! And the expressions on characters during some of the more poignant scenes shows how complicated their inner emotions are - it isn't just straight anger or sadness or one thing, it's a mix of things that let you see exactly what they're thinking. Incredible. 2. The music is gorgeous. Not so much the featured vocal songs, though they aren't bad. But the instrumental pieces in this, from the harrowing moments to the echoing strings in the background of quieter scenes in space, are just perfect. They add another layer to the movie you can't even see the first time through. 3. [Unlike the beginning of this video...🙄😤] This film does not talk down to kids. It's for them, sure, but it holds them to a higher standard and doesn't dumb things down. Sure, there's fart jokes and cute alien pets, but also scientific references and a lot of grey area content they actually have to consider deeply. It treats them just like people, and as a kid I loved any film that would do that. 4. In addition to the stellar 2D animation (geddit? Stellar? No? I'll see myself out), the 3d animation integration is incredibly well done. It's got a 2D style focus in mind and doesn't stand out from the rest of the movie like a sore thumb, but instead used to enhance the actual technical gadgets in the film, like maps and hovercraft, etc. Even B.E.N the robot as a partial 3D character fits this. Technology applied to technology, which is ingenious. So basically, as someone who grew up loving art, machinery, sci-fi and knowledge, an animated movie set in space with a technology focus and a vocabulary count higher than a MENSA exam was MY movie 💖💖❤👍💖❤

[@drewbear1969]

There was also "monosyllabic" in one of my favorite lines: _"Let me make this as monosyllabic as possible: I - don't - much - care - for - this - crew - you - hired."_ This was one of those movies I rented at Blockbuster, then immediately bought myself a copy for repeated viewings. The three main "wins" for me are the cast, the animation of Jim's solar surfing (seriously the way his hair moves before that free fall is a masterpiece), and how two of my favorite settings were blended in such an interesting adaptation of one of my favorite stories. I think what really sets _Treasure Planet_ apart is the departure from the usual Disney animation. Jim's just a regular kid, no royalty or romance or Chosen One. He just needs a father figure to tell him he's going to be okay. and I agree that resonates with a lot of viewers. Then Silver is likable in that role because he's not just another villain like Scroop, he's a well-rounded antagonist.

So, this movie, alongside Atlantis, are my two favorite disney renaissance movies. They forged new trails with their big ideas, meaningful relationships, and stunning worlds. Atlantis has, well, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet has the vastness of space that it treats like the open sea. Treasure Planet BARELY edges out against Atlantis for me, but they're both underrated classics. If I had my choice, I'd have them both remade in 3d animation like Frozen or Tangled style. That would be a dream of mine.

[@SantanicoDiabolical]

I very much did enjoy the aesthetic appeal of Treasure Planet and think it is the best attempt at original world building by Disney thus far. I think that two or more films set in this universe would have been interesting to see play out. They would not even have to involve Jim much at all, as his story had already been told, but could focus on two or more other unrelated original characters who happen to live within the same galaxy as Jim. It would be more just a backdrop for a sort of shared-universe anthology series of films all taking place within this truly creative setting. Maybe have Jim cameo at different points in his life, reminding us where it all started and showing that all is well with our former delinquent. I've always liked science fantasy more than hard science or straight fantasy settings and so would like for lesser known genres like Steampunk/Dieselpunk/Biopunk/Gaslight fantasy, and etc... with their own unique twist receiving more mainstream attention in the near future. They really are underappreciated subgenres of science fiction/fantasy and I do sincerely believe they have much to offer audiences when it comes to original characters, story telling and worldbuilding. Both Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire are steampunk inspired and I enjoyed those films immensely(despite the many flaws of Atlantis: The Lost Empire). Just my two cents...

[@SomeD00D01]

Nice rant

[@nkbujvytcygvujno6006]

If you look at the official art book, there was going to be a Treasure Planet 2, and they were planning on giving him some red-haired girl to fall for. And there has been so much bonus film-based material and world building that I wouldn’t be surprised if there were going to be spinoffs, like in your idea. I thought you’d like to know that. And the reason Treasure Planet wasn’t more of a success and the projects weren’t followed through on enough was mostly due to Disney executive shutdowns, not because the movie was bad. It was partly because they wanted to convince the company that all their failed films were due to 2d animation being outdated and sabotaged the movie to support their decision to completely go to 3D animation, and partly from pettiness and bias against the creators. This is detailed more in the video Treasure Planet: Disney’s Biggest Mistake by BREADSWORD.

The entire RLS Legacy ship was created in the deep canvas thing; it's a legit three dimensional model, so every single scene within it had to be done with more legitimate camera techniques since they couldn't just cheat the space and draw whatever they wanted, like is typically done with two dimensional animation. It made the film harder to create, especially since at the time the technology was still relatively new and so they didn't have many shortcuts or helpful techniques done with it yet. (IIRC the first Disney film to use deep canvas was Tarzan, and that was only in the "vine surfing" scenes.) So the fact that the makers of the film went through such effort only for Disney executives to really flop the movie in marketing is just such a shame. This movie still is and probably always will be one of my favorites; it really deserves more recognition, in my opinion.

I feel the same way.

The first true 3D and hand animated movie was the Great Mouse Detective. The cogs on the clock in the finale we're all fully CG. I doubt think it completely qualifies as a "Deep Canvas" model, but it was the first use of two different animations in a Disney movie. But yeah. You simltaniously notice and don't notice at all the styles in Treasure Planet. There are times like the whales and Silver sometimes, that it was very obvious, but most of the time it's seamless. Very impressive for what they had back then. Very few of us can say we lived in a world where all our "cartoons" we're fully hand drawn. Everything is now almost all digital or 3D. Treasure Planet is maybe the first example of the bridge between them. At the very least, it's the best example

Disney didn't intentionally flop this movie in spite of it being so difficult to make, they flopped it BECAUSE it was so difficult to make. they wanted the excuse that the amount of time, effort, and especially money it takes to make a movie this way isn't worth the money it makes back. so they made this movie under contractual obligation, sent it out to die, then went "see, all that work and we made nothing for it. now lets only make cheap and easy movies." Production cost is too high for this style of movie in their opinion, so they made a scapegoat and Treasure Planet was it.

This probably my favorite Disney movie of all time. Jim is such a comfort character, and I can relate to his story without the sci-fi adventure part.

[@ThePa1riot]

This is one of my all time favorite Disney moves. Right up there with Atlantis. Criminally underrated both. The reason for this one is similar to why Gladiator is my favorite movie of all time, the father son connection. Silver and Jim have such a heartwarming bond that makes me grateful for my own Dad. Someone to be proud of me as a man.

This might have nearly destroyed Disney, but it’s one of the best and underrated films they’ve made.

[@ravenouself4181]

Ironically, Disney failed this movie in the marketting. In fact, they failed it so hard that I find it impossible that it wasn't on purpose.

Captain Amelia was the closest thing i had to a furry crush.

Oh, if you think Amelia is one of the characters that is the most responsible for furry crushes, wait ‘till you see those tall/thick-thighed women! static1.e621.net/data/sample/a6/e1/a6e1c9d183569a61c3f2f49a7c31e48f.jpg Surely, when Sonic himself saw this, he was all like files.gamebanana.com/img/ss/wips/5a04bd7e7fc6e.jpg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A real Disney classic with Atlantis the lost empire. Both underrated.

[@catsareamazing3616]

True

[@CatCubed]

Both are somehow my most favorite Disney movies from my childhood, guess my family had good taste in buying underrated movies

[@schiz0idDK]

Treasure planet and Atlantis are my shit I never knew they were so underrated till 4 years ago it was so weird to me considering I watched them almost every week

[@dantel4170]

@@schiz0idDK honestly I feel like certain elite kids had these as their fave movies

[@liberatusblair]

Treasure planet was amongst the first movies that I watched on DVD, copies of the actual movies gifted by my uncle. It still has a special place in my heart and was quite surprised to get to know, that it was deemed a failure. It was the best movie that I watched during my childhood, it made me fall in love with sci-fi, I build my own solar surfer (out of wood and trash, being a child with near limitless imagination was awesome) because this movie left such a deep impression. I can't praise this movie enough. ^^

[@Contraltissimo]

One of my favorite things about this movie is that yeah, it *was* a passion project. It wasn't trying to keep up with the Joneses of some other studio, it wasn't riding some temporary zeitgeist, it wasn't out to push some message, it wasn't pandering to some special interest or beholden to anything--- It was just someone trying to tell a good story. And it worked.

[@hurbig]

I truly don’t think treasure plantet is a classic kids movie. I watched it as a child and I hated it. Then I watched it as a teen and it made me cry. I suddenly not only felt understood, but inspired and hopeful.
