Treasure Planet (PG) 6.5

Treasure Planet (2002): A Disney animated version of "Treasure Island". The only difference is that the film is set in outer space with alien worlds and other galactic wonders. (6.0)

Directors: Ron Clements, John Musker
Writers: Robert Louis Stevenson (novel), Ron Clements (screenplay)
Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emma Thompson and Martin Short

The lines between sea-faring and space-faring have been blurred in this animated film. Some of Studio Ghibli influences can be seen, but the animation nowhere as good as that. Nice spoofs of Star Wars and Star Trek stuff too. I enjoyed it for the moment, but not so much to think about afterwards. My Rating: 6.5
