The characters are all uniqe and the concept of a planet with treasure is uniqe too.
This is a Disney adaptation of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, except with a twist. The movie takes place in the future, where space travel is fairly common and humans live with aliens in peaceful harmony. Our protagonist is a rebellious, yet kind boy named Jim Hawkins. We follow Jim on his adventure to find the legendary Treasure Planet, accompanied by Silver, a good hearted cook and a fatherly figure to Jim, and Morph, a shape shifting creature who is also a prankster. Treasure Planet has beautiful animation along with some 3D incorporated graphics, and it is a great family movie that sadly goes unnoticed compared to other animated classics. Even if you have no background of the original book, I still recommend watching this movie if you have the time.
I watched this movie at my friends house for her birthday and she loved it so much. I also loved it too.
