Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì
Treasure Planet lost $31,000,000 at the box office.
Why? The concept is good. The movie is a take-off from the Robert Louis
Stevenson story, Treasure Island, except
it is set in galactic space rather than planet Earth. In addition, it’s a
Disney creation and used the very accomplished team of Musker and Clements to
produce and direct it. The movie has everything going for it. The voice choices
are excellent: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Hyde Pierce, Martin Short, and Emma
Thompson. Don’t miss this film. It does not play down to the child or adult
audience and completely entertains.
