Treasure Planet is a 2002 American animated science fiction action
adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released
by Walt Disney Pictures on November 27, 2002. The 43rd Disney animated
feature film, it is a science fiction adaptation of Robert Louis
Stevenson's 1883 adventure novel Treasure Island and was the first
film to be released simultaneously in regular and IMAX theaters. It is
at least the second retelling of the story in an outer space setting,
following the 1987 Italian miniseries Treasure Island in Outer Space.
It employs a novel technique of hand-drawn 2D traditional animation
set atop 3D computer animation. With a budget of $140 million, it is
the most expensive traditionally animated film ever made.The film was
co-written, co-produced and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker,
who had pitched the concept for the film at the same time that they
pitched another Disney animated feature, The Little Mermaid (1989).
Treasure Planet features the voices of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Brian
Murray, David Hyde Pierce, Martin Short, Roscoe Lee Browne, Emma
Thompson, Michael Wincott, Laurie Metcalf, and Patrick McGoohan (in
his final film role). The musical score was composed by James Newton
Howard, while a couple of songs were written and performed by John
Rzeznik. Despite generally positive critical reception from most
critics and audiences praising the sci-fi visuals, animation,
storyline, action scenes, voice performances, and music score, the
film performed poorly at the box office, costing $140 million to
create while earning $38 million in the United States and Canada and
just shy of $110 million worldwide. It was nominated for Best Animated
Feature at the 75th Academy Awards.On the planet Montressor, young Jim
Hawkins is enchanted by stories of the legendary pirate Captain
Nathaniel Flint and his ability to appear from out of nowhere, raid
passing ships, and disappear in order to hide the loot on the
mysterious "Treasure Planet". 12 years later, Jim has grown into an
aloof and isolated troublemaker due to his father abandoning him and
his mother. He reluctantly helps his mother Sarah run the family's
Benbow Inn, and derives amusement from "Alponian solar cruising":
skysurfing atop a rocket-powered sailboard.
