Critics Consensus

Though its characterizations are weaker than usual, Treasure Planet offers a fast-paced, beautifully rendered vision of outer space.

By following its story as closely as they have, the filmmakers have retained much of what made the novel a classic.

It's laced with literate humor, and the directors cite N.C. Wyeth's illustrations for the 1911 Scribner's edition of Treasure Island as the inspiration for their marvelously detailed fantasy world.

While there are pieces of a great film scattered throughout Treasure Planet, the film is a clear disappointment.

A splendid adventure film that doesn't mistreat its characters under the weight of the most hackneyed archetypes of the company. [Full Review in Spanish]

Another artistically masterful animated classic from Disney, Treasure Planet is like a super-nova, energetically exploding in a panorama of eye-popping candy colors.

Visually this movie was absolutely incredible. It definitely has this mix of the old school Disney animation mixed with CGI and it works really well. Visually it's just stunning. The story kind of holds it back a little as it just is a story that's been done so many times. I did find it an entertaining watch though.

I don’t understand the reviews from some of these critics. This movie is crazy good. Great spin on a classic while also giving you a solid coming of age arc that easily set the story up for future films. This is the kind of movie Disney needs to pursue again, a live action could be awesome if they gave it an honest shot
