yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
PLUS THIS SCENE?
AND THIS????
We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.
the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.
treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.
i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.

You ever hear a song off the soundtrack? The recent Hamilton thing reminded me that there used to be a figure of the Broadway Fan, back before AIDS hollowed it out, and modern Disney Fandom is substantially powered by appropriating that musical theater energy.
