movie review - Treasure Planet
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2002.12.01
This is a Disney animated flick that takes Treasure Island into space. A space where people can breath the interstellar void and the absence of anti-gravity causes things to drift upward, but I suppose I digress. In all, it's an entertaining flick. While a touch overly sentimental, and certainly full of all of the usual Disneyisms (there's even a basket of Disney animal babies at the end) it manages to add a few interesting ideas to a story that's clearly aimed at kids.
Recommended.
