While ‘THREASURE PLANET’ is enjoyable to watch, it plays like a product of the 1990s. With dated computer graphics, artistic style, and soundtrack, the film’s release to Blu-ray entertains but reminds audiences why it never became another Walt Disney classic, but despite this, I really enjoyed its adventurous attitude.‘TREASURE PLANET’ is based loosely on Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island,” and spun into a sci-fi world of the future with space pirates, aliens, laser guns, and automatons. With legendary Disney directors John Musker and Ron Clements at the helm, this film appeared to be a way for them to take animation beyond the worlds of ‘ALADDIN and ‘THE LITTLE MERMAID,’ and be appealing more to a male audience.But while the adventure of the film is often exciting, there is little character connection. Though the motivations behind most of the characters’ actions is simple seeking a long-lost treasure and only a handful have enough development for audiences to care about them. But the animated film often makes up for its relatively simple story with a unique visual style, a seamless blend of traditional hand-drawn and computer-generated animation, even if the CGI appears to be of an era further back than its fifteen year age appearance.Also slightly dating the animated film’s tremendous song “I’m Still Here,” supplied by John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls. Hearing the singing voices instantly took me back to the 1990s as it was prominently featured in the middle of the animated film. This one song is a far cry from the brilliant musical numbers featured in so many of Walt Disney’s animated films.It has been fifteen years since I had last seen the animated cartoon ‘TREASURE PLANET,’ when it first arrived in the cinema. Before watching the new Blu-ray home release last night, all I really remembered about the animated film was something about an obnoxious robot ruining its third act. And sure enough, an over-the-top hyperactive robot voiced by Martin Short entered the picture right on cue, far too late for a new character to be introduced, especially one that ultimately proved to be fairly useless to the story.But this time around, I looked past that unnecessary character to the grander picture of the animated film, able to enjoy it not as an instant classic, but instead this is a fun adventure through outer space and I don’t even want to admit to a direct reference to the unfortunate and totally obnoxious film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean. It may not be perfect, far from John Musker and Ron Clements best work, and perhaps not worthy of its 2002 Oscar® nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, but it is at least enjoyable romp around the cosmic universe.With reaching its 15th anniversary milestone, ‘TREASURE PLANET,’ has been given some sprucing up for this Blu-ray UK release. The animated film itself looks terrific and sounds even better, but sadly no new bonus features are added for this release, including, taking viewers behind-the-scenes into the making of each element of the movie. But sadly they are all presented in standard definition and are recycled from previous inferior DVD releases. But Walt Disney fans shouldn’t immediately shrug off ‘TREASURE PLANET,’ especially as it was directed by two of Walt Disney’s best and while it may not hold up to the standards set by so many other timeless Walt Disney musicals, it’s an adventure that is well worth viewing, and best viewed on this new Blu-ray UK release.Blu-ray Video Quality – Walt Disney Studios presents this Blu-ray in a totally awesome 1080p encoded image presentation. The 1.66:1 aspect ratio HD image looks downright amazing. There was the slightest bit of banding in the opening shot, but aside from that and a couple of other instances here and there, it’s an astonishing transfer. Colors are bright and bold, detail is exquisite and the entire film seems to have nearly presented us with a 3D effect, but sadly not being shown in 3D. We’ve all become so used to the computer animated films looking so good that when you go back and watch a 2D film, it’s nice to have it look nearly as good. For those that have never seen ‘TREASURE PLANET’ and it looks totally amazing.Blu-ray Audio Quality – Walt Disney Studios presents this Blu-ray in an amazing new 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio sound mix, more than does the job. Every sound seems to resonate with the utmost clarity. Dialogue is, of course, crisp and clean and even the “pirate” speak sounds great. The brilliant surround sounds are heard often, adding some terrific atmosphere to an already very active soundtrack. Like the video presentation, this audio mix is second to none and will give your speakers a good workout.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature: Disney's Animation Magic: Treasure Planet [2003] [480i] [14:16] Walt Disney Feature Animation chairman Roy Disney goes behind-the-scenes of ‘Treasure Planet’ to investigate the designs of the characters and creatures, the creation of Marquette’s, the use of storyboard, story reels and layouts, and the process the animators used to combine CGI and hand-drawn animation into a workable product.

Referring to Jim, John Rzeznik said, "It was easy to relate to Jim, you know? I felt a lot like that when I was his age." It was a moderately successful pop hit.Preview Trailers: Sleeping Beauty – Diamond Edition [Blu-ray] [1080p] [2.20:1] [1:07]. FROZEN [Blu-ray] [1080p] [2.35:1] [1:25].

The film itself looks and sounds brilliant, but sadly no new bonus features are added for this UK Blu-ray release. But sadly there is nothing to shout home about, except taking viewers behind-the-scenes into the making of each element of the animated film. Disney fans shouldn’t immediately shrug off ‘TREASURE PLANET,’ because it was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, which is by two of Walt Disney’s best and while it may not hold up to the standards set by so many timeless musicals, it’s an adventure that is well worth seeing, and best viewed on this new 2015 Blu-ray UK release. But sadly there is no upgrade on the extras and they are only presented in standard definition and are of course have been recycled from previous inferior DVD release, but despite this, I am so pleased to add this to my ever increasing Walt Disney Blu-ray Collection. Highly Recommended!Andrew C. Miller – Your Ultimate No.1 Film FanLe Cinema ParadisoWARE, United Kingdom

It didn’t work and the company refused to refund me.

Good

A regarder super

die ich für meine jungen Cousins gekauft habe. Es ist eine wunderbare alternative Version der Schatzinsel. Aufregend und mit einer guten Story. Kinder genießen es, und selbst Erwachsene tun es.

I've always enjoyed this film, and what makes it good is that it centres on how it must feel to grow up without a parent. Fifteen year old Jim Hawkins just so happens to have no father, and this makes it hard for his mother to teach him anything, and also proves that it really is a bad thing to be bereft of a male role model which is what Jim really needs. Good at getting himself into trouble and a cool dude, he must contend with robotic policemen, until he finds that he's in for a treat much later when pirate Billy Bones leaves an orb shaped map in Jim's possession. To Jim's delight, the map soon turns out to contain the entire solar system, and the fabled Treasure Planet. This discovery sparks the interest of astrophysicist Dr. Delbert Doppler who is half man, half dog, and the two of them later land on the space port which makes up the moon. As soon as they board the RLS Legacy (great name!) Jim has to watch himself as a gang of pirates make up the crew, and slowly but gradually he makes friends with the cook, Long John Silver, and Morph, a cute pink blob with goggly eyes that can take on lots of different appearances. Emma Thompson provides witty humour as feline Captain Amelia, and works very well as an animated character in comparison to her many other characters from unanimated films. It's all high rides, adventure and fun, and incredibly entertaining. I think the Special Features are really cool, and some of it is really interesting, like the making of the film and the magic of Disney animation, particularly in this film as it's an incredibly popular story and Robert Louis Stevenson is a very well known author. Then there's the more technical stuff, such as a look into how Silver's cyborg eye, robotic arm and peg leg were put into animation, which is pretty fantastic. My favourite Special Feature is the RLS Legacy game because it keeps your mind busy and your brain working. I enjoy this film a lot and even though I haven't read the book it is based on, I do know what it's about, and I have to say that Disney do stick to a classic to the best of their ability. It's a very well executed take on "Treasure Island", and suitable for both boys and girls.

Disney during its "boys age" (just after it released the Disney princesses and just before it bought marvel) tried hard to appeal to the male Demographic. And if I could complain about anything in this amazing film, it does feel as if its pandering to boys (and apparently really stupid ones too) a tad much - with superfluous "sky surfing" sequences and way more action than it has intrigue.The novel was focused largely on whether or not you could trust Long John Silver, he's adventure and charisma and charm personified, but also a mass murderer and quite the secret keeper; the movie makes it clear he's inherently good ("methinks you have a soft... Spot for him," says Scroop as he rather heavy handedly impales a grape) and the addition of Scroop himself (a villain even evil let than he) serves to absolve him from blame.It's the same with Frozen - Hans exists purely so Elsa can look innocent, whereas the source material makes no mistake that the snow queen is a morally ambiguous force of nature.Which brings me to my firm belief that treasure planet represents something rare: a sympathetic Disney villain. He's not Elsa crying in a corner, Nor is he the extremely manipulative parent you find in Mother Gothel. Silver is this amazing study in morality and how greed can push good people to do bad things.Kids will love the visuals of this steampunk-esque universe, and it's amazingly nuanced villain, lack of love interests that derail the plot, and it's message on rebuilding your life after the loss of a parent, is a rarity that you won't find from Disney nowadays. Be sure to get it!!
