[img]http://i36.tinypic.com/309rmte.jpg[/img] So yeah. This film is basically an animated adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' in space, steampunk style (steampunk space travel, yep). So, treasure island is replaced with a treasure planet, the sea is replaced with space, Long John Silver is now an alien cyborg, his parrot is a pink shapeshifter, and ships are now... uh... still ships. With solar sails. If scientific accuracy is your thing, a lot of things in this film are going to distract you. But the visuals are AWESOME. I remember watching parts of this film when I was 9, so I decided to watch the whole thing on youtube, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only are the action sequences fantastic, but I really enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters. Sure, there are some things that made me cringe a little (mainly the antics of Dr. Delbert and the captain cat woman) but I definitely had a lot of fun with it. I even laughed at the alien crewmember who communicates by farting (I cringed at first, but then the way it responds to Delbert made me laugh out loud. also, it's a gorgeously animated fart creature, like everything else in this film. Granted, it was like 3 in the morning when I was watching it) [img]http://i35.tinypic.com/2z7pd2a.jpg[/img] Anyway, I wanted to hear what facepunch thought of this film. People say it's underrated, and I agree, although I can see why others would criticise it.
I loved it, it was a pretty kickass movie.
I... fucking... LOVED it when I was a kid... Anyone here played this game? [img]http://games.softpedia.com/screenshots/Treasure-Planet-Battle-At-The-Procyon_5.jpg[/img]
I saw the ending a few weeks ago, was amazing. For some reason I never saw the whole movie though v:v:v

Pretty awesome movie. Maybe a little by-the-numbers, but who cares? It had pirates! In space!
If there was one thing I would change about this movie, it would be this loudmouthed fucker. [img]http://img.timeinc.net/TFK/media/news/2002b/021120_ben02_hor.gif[/img] Seriously.
I fucking loved it as a kid, and I still do.

Don't believe the ED. It's likely fabrications or exaggerations.
[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;24164877]Don't believe the ED. It's likely fabrications or exaggerations.[/QUOTE] Everything on ED is lies, but that's irrelevant when those images are now burned forever into my mind. Also you're a SC2 fan. High five.

It was indeed an interesting film. Dunno if I'd call it steampunk though, it's kind of a weird mix of steam/cyberpunk.
Blah, my least favorite Disney movie ever. I honestly can't sit through this movie without wanting to kill something. I'm surprised so many people like it in this thread, I thought everyone hated it.
This movie was diamonds... err, STEAM POWERED DIAMONDS! :eng101: [editline]06:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Funky Pickle;24176280]Blah, my least favorite Disney movie ever.
