A near-forgotten Disney film, this, in my opinion, this is one of the most amazing adaptations of a classic tale, ever! Imaginative with a wonderful use of poetic license, while still staying true to the spirit of the original tale ("Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, in case anyone was wondering),while featuring one of the finest blending of traditional and computer-based animation...it is impactful, meaningful, and downright enjoyable.CONTENT ISSUES:Most Disney films don't have too much to worry about in the content realm...and this film is no exception. I must note, though, that there is a stronger sense of violence (space pirates...kinda comes with the territory) and even two deaths - well to be exact, these specific characters fall(?) into the depths of space...so you don't see them "killed", but it is rather obvious that they died.PLOT (ABSOLUTELY NO PLOT SPOILERS):This movie, as stated above, is based upon "Treasure Island" and it stays quite close to the core plot and spirit of the tale. However, what amazes me is how they use that foundation to build such fantastic world that feels like a fresh blend of both sci-fi and fantasy. The pacing is balanced well, and the characters leave lasting impressions. The internal struggles are also relatable and there were many powerful moments which drove me to tears (both sadness and happiness). It really is a solid film that the crew seemed to enjoy putting together. What stood out to me most, though was how focused the tale was. Yes, there were several tangents and "side-plots", but they always remembered their main story and used even the tangents to help augment the tale as a whole. It really left me thinking and contemplating it.CHARACTERS:Though a lot of this movie shines, none of the other aspects can really exist if it weren't for the interesting cast of characters. Not only are they memorable (even many of the minor ones), but the actors and actresses carry their parts really well. It felt so natural and the cast chemistry was exceptionally good.EXTRAS:I liked all the extras. They are really in-depth and give you good information about the source material, the technology used to produce the movie, and the inspirations they had for many of the concepts. They also have a mini-documentary about the life of a pirate. They put a lot of thought and production value into it. Most extras in DVDs I usually like one or two things...if any. This is one of the few times that all of it is worth it and really feels like you are getting more than your money's worth.ALL IN ALL:I love this film and have watched it several times...you know, I'll probably watch it even more times. This is a wonderful tale about coming of age and redemption. It is also a wonderful tale about finding purpose and direction in life...and discovering how strong your beliefs are, or what they are in the first place. Definitely recommended.

John Musker and Ron Clements’ 2002 animated film, “Treasure Planet,” is the 43rd Disney animated feature and adapts Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1881-1882 novel, “Treasure Island,” in a space opera setting. The story focuses on young Jim Hawkins (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who comes into possession of a map to Captain Flint’s Treasure Planet. He sets out to find the treasure in order to prove to his mother (Laurie Metcalf) that he’s not a juvenile delinquent and to rebuild her boarding house. Joining him is Dr. Delbert Doppler (David Hyde Pierce), an astronomer. They charter the RLS Legacy, captained by Amelia (Emma Thompson) and seen to by her first mate, Mr. Arrow (Roscoe Lee Browne). Hawkins meets John Silver (Brian Murray), a cyborg, and his companion Morph (Dane Davis). Later, the encounter the abandoned robot B.E.N. (Martin Short), who resembles Robin Williams’ portrayal of the Genie in “Aladdin.” Tying this film to earlier works of the Disney Renaissance, Tony Jay voices the narrator after previously providing voices for “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Aesthetically, the only sci-fi franchise I can compare it to is “Doctor Who” since it blends Victorian-era costumes and institutions with extraterrestrials, robots, and spaceships. The ships resemble nineteenth-century ships of the line, with giant solar sails and rocket engines, but the characters are able to stand on deck even in the vacuum of space. “Treasure Planet” was part of a unique era in animation right around the turn of the millennium, where films began experimenting with style or blending styles, leading to works like “Titan A.E.” and “Atlantis: The Lost Empire.” These films were all ahead of their time and are worthy of appreciation not only for what they created but for their place in animation history. Unfortunately, “Shrek” came out in 2001 and changed what people expected of animated films for half a decade.

Buying this movie on Blu-ray was a decision that my daughter and I made to add to our collection of cherrished films. It had been 7 or 8 years since we had viewed the film on VHS. 1080p quality, surround sound, and Blu-ray enhancement have made this film more of a masterpiece of this lesser known classic. The casting for this film is dead on with the voices matching characters perfectly. The animation is cutting edge in its design and the color contrast of the film gives it a razor sharp visual experience. The story, even with Disney's twist, is timeless, the characters are well developed, and the subtle twists of world history make the film enjoyable for the young and the young at heart. The film pays homage to great literature and to science fiction of the 20th C This film will age well if you add it to your collection as it is NOT one in which bizarre or surprise type ending would only allow you to enjoy it for only the first time. The original reviews for this movie were luke-warm but it is not only worth giving a look but it is a must-have for your Disney collection.

Moins connu mais l un des meilleurs Disney

妻がこの映画が好きで、私自身は見たことが無かったので購入。知名度は低いみたいですが、隠れた名作といった感じです。

Pensaba que la edición alemana sería audio latino, pero no, tiene castellano en su menú. Gran calidad de imagen y muy buena y desconocida de Disney. La edición Española de esta película está descatalogada y de segunda mano es muy cara. La edición alemana de este Bluray está a la hora de su compra por mí en 16€, no es barato, pero si la quieres para completar la colección de clásicos Disney es lo que hay. El lomo del Bluray viene numerado.

I got this movie when it first came out, when i was in second grade or so, and after that, I had viewed this movie so many times since, that it in the end was broken for to much use, and probably not caring for it too much - we were children who can blame us?So I recently found this Gift Set coming along with that novel, and I as a fresh reader wanted something physical in my hand to read instead of all the e-books, and then what could have been better then getting the novel that was made into the greatest movie of my childhood as well as the movie itself?The movie is great! It simply is nothing more the spectacular! The animations and background designs are all beyond its time! The story as well is really great and touching; making me cry every time. Containing about everything you want in a movie; Action, emotions, love and adventure.I also love the soundtrack, though it is not included, the movie will of course play the music occasionally, and it is just wonderful! Really capturing the story and feelings in the movie, as well as the pirate-theme.The book was beyond my imaginations! I have not completed it just yet, but it is wonderfully written with really good techniques as well as the way Louis write, to really catch your attention and not wanting to just stop reading it through. It is like you are living the story itself.As for the game, I have not tried it as my intensions of this purchase was more for just the movie and book, but for the two alone, it is really worth it, and I recommend every nostalgic fan of this movie, or curious persons, to buy this gift set to continue watching the movie, as well as reading the story behind it.

Muy buena película; nos encanta. El producto original llegó en orden.
