Who would I recommend this to?
Whoever liked Atlantis or other forgotten Disney flicks.
What is this about?
It's Treasure Island in space!
When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever.
Where does it take place?
Space...
Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I had never seen it before. I'll admit that when it first came out, I kept confusing it with Atlantis.
How did I like this?
First of all, the animation reminded me of Anastasia. Second of all, was the narrator at the beginning the host from the Haunted Mansion?! Bonus points for both.
It's not terrible, but I can definitely see why this one didn't blow up like other Disney movies from this time. Atlantis was awesome, and this one kind of paled in comparison despite being quite similar in theme and story. For me, the world just seemed kind of random. I didn't understand why there were alien animals and Victorian aesthetics? It's not quite Steampunk enough to make sense.
If you want a Disney Treasure Island, I'd go with Muppet Treasure Island every time.
Have you seen Treasure Planet? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
