Review of Treasure Planet (2002) by Dylan D — 06 Nov 2013

Treasure Planet isn't a Disney classic by any means. It bombed at the box office, split audiences and critics, and remains one of Disney's post-Renaissance failures. Still, young, solar-surfing Jim Hawkins and crusty, cybernetically enhanced pirate cap'n John Silver keep Disney's 43rd animated feature afloat and make it worth watching, perhaps even worth owning if your kids adore sailing the Seven Seas -- or any seas really, Etherium or otherwise -- with swashbucklers and scallywags, be they from the 18th century or beyond.
