If they made Silver a regular, run of the mill Disney villain this movie wouldn’t have been nearly as good as it was. He’s a complex character. He’s intimidating when he needs to be but overall he’s a good hearted person who got lost in his passion for looking for Treasure Planet.

My sisters art teacher once said “treasure plant failed because they put an absent father in the movie and people couldn’t handle it”. My father abandoned me and I also noticed growing up this was the only kids movie featuring the topic. The director really nailed the scene where he leaves for good.

[@NJ.Magpie]

That makes no sense that they criticize the movie because the father left, like in almost every Disney movie the mother is absent or dies so why did people judge it so harshly when Jim's father left? Doesn't make any sense to me, and yes, it was one of the saddest yet probably a very accurate representation of it. I wouldn't really know since my parents never left but I can see why people might find it relatable if they have experienced this.

[@unknownguy1137]

One thing i loved about this film was the symbolism with Jim. Being when we first see an older Jim he wears black clothing and is rebellious, but working with John he starts wearing less darker clothes suggesting he is less rebellious and is changing, then at the end we see Jim in an all white captain suit and is happy. John became the father-figure Jim needed to live a happy life with a promising career

[@mc.builder8267]

I never noticed that, but you’re right. It’s also because John became his father figure that we got such a natural and organic change of heart from him, seeing him chose Jim over his life long dream. “Oooh, Damn me for a Blasted BOAT!!!”

[@grantmortensonva]

@@zzodysseuszz it was because Treasure Planet was the most expensive animated film ever made. Could be that Disney didn't want future films to be that expensive because they were having a rough time in the 2000s and their last few theatrical feature films weren't making money (Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and Home on the Range lost money; Lilo and Stitch was an outlier). They saw how well Pixar was doing, and how DreamWorks struck gold with Shrek, so they thought CGI animation was the only money maker, and tried to make their own Shrek-like fairytale satire with Chicken Little, but clearly didn't understand why Shrek worked. Chicken Little made Disney money (also because they used it to showcase the newfangled Disney Digital 3D, which as we all know was an extra surcharge on tickets) after half a decade of losses, but reviews of the time and its current legacy are largely negative.

Really it's because it's based off of the classic literature novel "treasure island".

Maybe not quite as serious or as much as those books but still fairly close.

[@azizulfikri8392]

[@nonidentifie5169]

A little thing I would like to add regarding the songs, is one in particular: "I'm still here" was different in the French version and focused not on the fact that Jim was feeling lost due to the lack of a father figure he slowly recognized in John Silver, the French song "un homme libre" (= a free man), was instead focusing on Jim's growth as an adult through his desire to explore the world, making it a little more hopeful than the original version. Yes, this was a fun fact nobody will probably care about, but I still thought it was a nice little fact nonetheless!

Disney set it up to fail to justify scraping 2D productions.

[@silverstream1017]

Love it how both childhood favorite movies were underated. I still rewatch them every now and then and it never gets old. 'Ye-yeah.. Ki-Kiragashnaga.... hey do you go by anything else???"

[@silverstream1017]

Now I must rewatch them.... I dug my own grave...

[@IsaacClodfelter]

God this movie is so damn good. Disney did them dirty. The animation and CGI touches this movie had are so beautiful.

I grew up without a dad in the 90's. John was such a complicated villain for me because he became an amazing father figure to Jim. I know hes a bad guy but i dound myself kind of sweeping that under the rug just because he took Jim under his wing in the way he did. To this day, that montage where hes teaching Jim and the end may or may not still gets my eyeballs leaking a lil

[@maylabrown4584]

Actually Disney attempted to sabotage it at multiple turns during it's development.

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

The trailer is proof enough of that. They outright say in the trailers that Silver is the bad guy! That would be like if they straight up told us Hans was the villain in the Frozen trailers!

[@greeneggsspam3969]

I knew it. If it's made by Disney and it flops instantly, then Disney wanted it gone.

[@sab3redg333]

Now i have to add artistic sabatage to my list of reasons why I avoid trailers

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

@@insertclevernamehere1186 bro this is made from a book that is like 100 years old and the movie is also really old. and the book was read in highschool for a really long time. long john silver is a household name for anyone over 20 and everyone already knew the story when this came out. since its such a known story is actually one of the reasons no one went to theaters. they thought it was a kids movie about treasure island

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

@@zyourzgrandzmaz You just said "anyone over 20" as if Disney's target audience isn't predominantly children. Just because a old story is being remade for the newer generations doesn't mean that everyone knows what it's about. Let's use your highschool reading example. Imagine your teacher assigns your class a classic book to read that you haven't heard of before. You're excited to read it, when suddenly he just starts talking about major plot points. Sure, they might have been super familiar with the book, but you weren't. Now reading it for the first time won't have the same impact because now you know what most of the plot points are...

8:16 Ah yes, captain Amelia, helping to create the furry phenomenon. 8:58 [Blah doop] The dynamic between the protagonist and antagonist in this movie is better than most Disney movies. A good example of this is in the Disney musicals the hero has the "I want" song, and the villain has the "I am" song. In this movie, both the hero and villain are the same kind of person ("I am") and have the same "want" for treasure and adventure. The conflict between them and eventual resolution doesn't have the same one sided morality of the Disney renaissance animated musicals, but that doesn't detract from its quality.

[@RaisingWildThings1997]

What a coincidence! I JUST put it on this morning for my kids, they loved it as much as I did when I was their age 😁

[@thatsbonnkers]

I’d like to point out that at 14:22 Silver meets up with Jim not because he needs Jim to open the map but because he believes Jim has the map since he seemingly pulled it out of the pile of rope on the ship but it was actually Morph disguised as the map. So neither of them have it at this point but Jim knows it’s back in the ship and Silver thinks Jim has it.

[@thatsbonnkers]

another quick point, not all of Silver’s crew dies when the trap is set off, the movie shows several of them tied up below decks while they try to escape the planets explosion and they’re shown again after they make it through the portal

[@madz9193]

I watched this movie on vhs as a kid and it is still my favourite animated movie till this day 😩 the sound track slaps and the animation/creativity is amazing. Space pirates, its insane how this movie flopped but I'm so happy its coming to light now

[@braxtonwalden8365]

Was watching this and my family came in and all collectively said it looked stupid. I then proceeded to call them stupid, and I am now grounded. Worth it.

[@LadyAlteria]

Blast Jim's Song (I'm Still Here) and it literally makes me want to go on an epic journey any day - it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DragonmanX90]

This was one of the few Disney projects that succeeded in making a world that I'd actually want to live in. Everything about it was interesting, and made me want to know more. How did Flint find Treasure Planet in the first place? All this advanced technology and they're still using gold, gems and such as a currency? What are the planets these people come from like? Did Jim invent that solar surfer thing of his or is that a known sport and he just jury rigged his own? This movie deserved more than it got; I know I'd rather have a pet Morph than a Porg, that's for damn sure.

[@GoodAfterNuhn]

Just earlier today, as I was playing The Outer Worlds, I was reminded of this movie and thought how awesome it would be for more studios (whether film or video game) to explore this theme of space pirates. Though Outer Worlds doesn’t much, something about being the ‘Captain of the Unreliable’ makes me think how cool it would be to have a pirate-themed game set in space.

[@jeilman93]

One of my favourite Disney movies growing up, breaks my heart it never got a sequel. Imagine this: 5-10 years has passed, Jim is now a navy officer, along the way he crosses paths with John, who tells him hos father is still alive. Honestly idc about the plot, I just want to see more of this world/universe! Pirates in space is just a magic combo.

[@CrankyB1tsch]

this movie warms up my heart so much i also learned what a supernova is from here (an exploding star...until that moment i didn't even know it was a thing)

[@roboraptorwolf9726]

This movie is spacepunk, and it’s amazing. If Disney didn’t basically sabotage the advertising it would have probably been sold out in the box office. The writers had an entire script for a sequel ready, and from what I know it’s equally amazing. This movie was done dirty in so many ways

[@sean_mccadden]

Treasure Planet is one of my favorite Disney movies. Unfortunately was hated because it wasn’t the standard Disney format. I honestly wish Disney would bring back its 2D animation studio

[@blackcatshadow2969]

Honestly its disneys own fault that this movie flopped as hard as it did. Look it up they screwed up the marketing for it on purpose because they didnt want it to succeed because they had something against the creators.

[@babiniiv5094]

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR COVERIN' THIS!!! THIS animation, THIS masterpiece, is absolute perfection! I love it, and I really find your personality perfect for commentary! You're awesome, thanks!
