The Obsession with Treasure Planet (and Atlantis)

[@Lonewolf360gaming]

It's pretty sad that Atlantis and treasure planet went under because they're both pretty ambitious films but as you mentioned it's kinda pointless to remake them when all the magic with animation is gone

[@ruikirisame1744]

100% even if they dusted off the script for treasure planet 2 from the disney vault, i wouldnt trust them to do it just now that everything they do is either he most soulless, middle of the road thing imaginable or a complete bastardization of the previous world EDIT: wow... i need to stop commenting mid video

[@AndreNitroX]

Everytime I see someone say let’s remake these 2 movies, I roll my eyes because even if they were to make these as live action movies, the animated movies would still be more mature and epic because they were made by people with balls back in the day instead of the creatively bankrupt wet towels that make movies like strange world

[@theAZenf1sh]

One thing that struck me as a kid for Atlantis was how raw the actions scenes were. Disney went from only having one person dying being a focal point to Atlantis literally having over 3/4 of the initial sub crew getting killed by the Leviathan within the first half of the movie. It was brutal but so action packed at the same time.

[@chimeron260]

One of the best aspects of Atlantis in my opinion was the design, a good amount of which was done by Mike Mignola who created hellboy, and I love that you can see the direct influence in the art style of the movie. If Atlantis was turned into a series with the attention and care of something like Andor it could really work.

[@YungJunko]

You know, I was looking at the remake idea too much in the framework of the modern live action Disney remake we've been getting but I think a series that explores the worlds of these movies in some way could be done well now that you mention it

Treasure Planet was workshopped by Musker and Clements over like 15 years, the script was _immaculate_ by the time they were allowed to start making it. The film was a passion project from start to finish and that love really shows through. Disney buried it because Eisner hated pirates until PotC made All Of The Money a few years after Treasure Planet came out.

[@ChronicNOTAG]

Actually, PotC came out the following year, in 2003. Disney didn't want two competing pirate movies.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

@@ChronicNOTAG Eisner didn't think PotC would be successful either. It's important to remember how much he hated pirate movies. Famously considered them to be box office poison. Pirates of the Carribean *also* almost got cancelled several times due to Eisner's hissy fits.

Whether POtC came out in 2003 or 2006 makes little difference in the discussion of why Treasure Planet flopped, he/she wasn’t “dismissing” anything

Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, The Lion King, The Emperor’s New Groove and Brother Bear are easily my favorite Disney 2D animated movies. Unpopular opinion: I do not want a live-action remake for neither Atlantis nor Treasure Planet. As much as they succeed, it won’t capture the beauty of these 2 masterpieces mostly because that they were beautifully animated. Being in live-action won’t have the same feeling even if it’s good.

Not full frontal, but I could have sworn there was a scene showing the ass of that purple-haired chick.

Things that they 2 were going to have that Disney robbed them of due to bad marketing and sending them out to die. Treasure Planet: A Sequel which leads into the also planned TV series, that has existing concept art. Atlantis: A TV series that was already greenlit but was then canceled when the movie was sent out to die and didn't do well enough (Milo's Return being the 3 episodes already made stitched together.) and an actual sequel named 'Shards of Chaos'. The TV series was set to crossover with Gargoyles. So yeah, the moral of the story is Fuck Disney. Fun fact, they recently revealed Mole's backstory.

So, when Treasure Planet came to Brazil, my family was hitting hard times. *However,* BEFORE the hard times hit us, Atlantis was the first movie my sister ever watched in the cinema ( 3 years old), and we got the VHS _and_ we rented it on DVD once DVDs became a thing, to see how it would look in high quality. And we rented the Treasure Planet VHS a few times. But for Atlantis? My family's been here for it as soon as we got our hands on it.

[@rga1605]

I read the Treasure Island book this year, after watching Treasure Planet and I gotta say the movie is better - the book's lesson is just that Jim is cool enough guy that even a pirate could respect, but the movie does build a real father-son relationship with him

[@Glowingtomato]

I was around 10 when these came out and loved both. My family was all into them so I'm always kind of shocked when I realize they were kind of under the radar. They both have such a great spirit of adventure and being 2D the animation holds up perfectly. 3D animation from the time like Shrek look kind of weird now.

[@grantmortensonva]

The original script for "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" was estimated to be 155 minutes if it was fully animated. They had to cut a lot of content to make it under 100 minutes. They settled on having half the film be the expedition and half the film being in Atlantis. If they got to make that MASSIVE uncut version, I wager that the latter half of the film would be mostly the same, but the first act would have a lot more emotional buildup than just Milo's quick film reel of Thaddeus and Whitmore talking about him. There are also storyboards of a few monster encounters that had to be cut for time, such as "squid bats" and "lava whales".

[@kolboi7097]

I'd argue that a live-action remake of Treasure Planet or Atlantis would do much better than Disney's other live-action movies more due to their Sci-Fi styling. With their previous remakes, Disney made a conscious effort to make anything even tangentially related to real life as accurate as possible. So much so, they ended up taking away a lot of the fun colours and motions of the animated versions. With Treasure Planet and Atlantis, they are already so far removed from reality in their Sci-Fi genre that I feel they could lend themselves much better to live-action with CGI. Whether it would be good, let alone as good as their animated counterparts is a much more difficult question to answer but I can see them doing better than Disney's other live-action movies.

Part of the draw of these stories was the idea of adventure that was so prevalent during the early 2000’s. There was such an air of being in the cusp of new things and the desire to push past our limits at the time. I’m not sure how or why we lost that drive and settled into whatever creative rut we have now that is so blatantly meant to sell toys than to impart a social lesson. So much of kids media has been dumbed down in recent years that it’s little wonder why kids these days are so…broken. Many just don’t know what being a good person is like because there aren’t examples in their media- with the rise of social media this problem has become even worse since why bother with animation if real people are more entertaining because they break societal norms for the sake of fame.

Nuclear sirens? Lmao how the heck did that happen. And thank you so much! I'm glad you found your way to my little channel and enjoyed my stuff.

[@lindblumpickles3407]

These two movies had such a significant impact on my childhood. Saw them both in theaters, and I loved each of them so much!!

[@MajorMechazawa]

5:00 I’m glad I’m not the only who still has one of those DVD/VHS hybrid players

[@theunknowncommenter725]

They still make them too! I've got one!

[@Morphwastaken]

Everyone: we need a remake of Treasure Planet! Strange world: you never said a good one.

[@KelpoTheCereal]

When you mentioned that VHS smell I literally froze and could smell the cheap plastic.

[@AndreNitroX]

For me personally, these 2 movies were the only Disney male lead action packed movies that checked every box I wanted as a kid. And to this day they are still my favorite Disney movies!

[@RodrickMarsMoon]

What would be these boxes ^^? Genuinely asking.

[@AndreNitroX]

@@RodrickMarsMoon Sci fi adventure, action, comedy, romance, interesting characters, good dialogue, excellent direction, good pace, creative visuals and likeable energy

[@RodrickMarsMoon]

@@AndreNitroX Holy wow, both movies indeed have all this 🙀😄!

[@hollyberry0602]

These are both my top tier disney movies. I went into both with absolutely no expectations and they became my favourites. Atlantis was even the subject of my film analysis essay in college! Despite both being fairly linear stories, the characters truly shine, the visuals are gorgeous, a perfect mix of 2D and 3D that I WISH Disney would revisit. They both had storylines I thoroughly enjoyed and both had a relationship at it's core that had me wilting. (Spoilers ahead!) Milo and Kida have a wonderful dynamic together and I love the way they interact. Their romance is never explicitly stated but you see them bond oh man, it's so cute. And Jim and Silver struck such a major chord with me. I've never had a brilliant relationship with my dad, so I've always sought them in fiction to sort of substitute for it. Silver going soft and realising he cares for Jim, to the point where he sacrifices what he's always longed for to save him? I loved them so, so much. The whole "I'm Still Here" sequence in the film is one of my favourite to date. In my own opinion, it's Disney's best. It's Disney's "Arcane", and extremely underrated. (That being said Atlantis is my personal favourite but the gap is practically microscopic, it's like saying Arcane is the best tv series but SW Rebels is my favourite which is also true) I truly, truly do not think modern day Disney has what it takes to adapt these respectfully into live action. Seeing some of their recent adaptations, as well as the recent Uncharted adaptation, I just wouldn't trust a studio to do a good job. An animated remake? A series? Perhaps. I've said for a few months that Treasure Planet deserved it's planned sequel, but perhaps a comic since we wouldn't have the same VA for Silver? I'll take anything, just not live action. I don't want to see Tom Holland cast as Milo Thatch.

[@sirandy600]

holy that is a fine sight to see again, i had so meny Walt Disney Movies on VHS

[@TacomaStreetcarDisaster]

I saw them all in the theaters, Junko. I TRIED.

[@kevvidile2775]

Treasure planet was my childhood favorite movie. On the damned vhs. AND TO THINK I THOUGHT I DREAMED THE WHOLE THING WHEN I GREW UP CUZ NOBODY EVER KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT UNTILL LIKE, THESE LAST COUPLE YEARS?? SUDDENLY EVERYONE KNOWS. WHERE YALL BEEN. JEEZ.

[@crown4212]

okay, no to live action remake, but what about a re-release in theaters???

[@matthewcline2728]

I would say that about every other Disney animated film, popular, or not. Honestly, I miss the days when Disney re-released their animated films IN THEATRES BEFORE VIDEO from time to time.

[@rosykindbunny1313]

Heck, I'd love more sci-fi twists on classic stories!

[@IvanKinkle]

Milo Thatch is a direct copy of Daniel Jackson from “Stargate”.

[@iangamboa4577]

Imagine showing this to someone from the dark ages and just watching them have an aneurysm

[@theboogaflu5048]

I remember watching Atlantis when i was like 5 and i can't remember a single thing past the opening, maybe a ghost town thing? idk but i'm defiantly going to rewatch it now :)

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

Disney: We need more diverse movies! Atlantis with an already diverse cast just wasting away

[@MyWatchIsEnded]

I love how this video is going to be the first and only reference to a VHS player in most of these viewers lives. Having a VCR was the standard in my day because DVDs were too expensive and they just came out.

[@blueflamedabi2403]

i remember dashing to the tv after school to watch treasure planet on repeat, i am now and will forever be obsessed with this movie

[@Craig.marks.]

If it was up to me, Disney would go back to this animation/art style. Also, Tarzans animation too I believe. edit: I was here since the beginning as well. Good to see you, my brethren.

[@ct6852]

Know that was a dark time for Disney profits...but serious props for attempting something new and different. The mix of traditional animation and 3d was beautiful.

[@TheRomans-exe]

I know I'm a year late to the party, but Treasure Planet was like an even more fun Treasure Island. Still makes me tear up. What REALLY gets me going though is Atlantis. I can't help myself to Mythology and History.

[@tobnac5741]

7:23 poor morph what did he do to deserve such a fate :(

[@thaoriginalraygreen]

I had these two as VHS and watched them probably a billion times as a kid . Loved these , good times :)

[@artloveranimation]

Growing up, my parents didn't buy Atlantis but the one time that I do remember seeing it, it didn't grab me. Watching it again older, I realized it was the dialogue that I definitely would not have understood as a kid.
