Treasure Planet (2002)



Directors: Ron Clements, John Musker

Producers: Ron Clements, John Musker, Roy Conli.

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Jim Hawkins), Brian Murray (Long John Silver) David Hyde Pierce (Doctor Doppler), Emma Thompson (Captain Amelia).

A nice treasure movie based on the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson which integrates sci-fi (YAHOO!!!) into it, Treasure Planet (2002) is a great movie for some.

On the planet Montressor, young Jim Hawkins is fascinated by stories based on Treasure Planet, 12 long years later, a teenaged Jim aspires to find Treasure Planet and crack the mystery of the treasure. After meeting a friend named Doctor Doppler, he is taken to Crescentia, an artificial satellite orbiting Montressor. At the terrarium, Jim and Doppler set off on the RLS Legacy, a starship. Jim meets the Captain, Amelia and the cook John Silver. Silver poses as a nice guy, but Jim quickly realizes he is a textbook description of a pirate. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

The plot was decent, but its portrayal was below average. I like the animation method that is, traditional on CGI. Terrific, Disney. Anyone who got the idea of turning Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1889) into Treasure Planet (2002) is definitely a genius. I have a TON of trivia to share with you guys out there! One is that the ‘RLS’ in RLS Legacy are the initials of Robert Louis Stevenson. There’s a lot more, go to the ‘Trivia’ section in Treasure Planet’s IMDB. Seriously, I didn’t expect this from a Disney movie. But, nice attempt. The flaws were:

  •         The portrayal of the story wasn’t that good.
  •          There weren’t any memorable songs.

Still, I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.        The theme is good.
  2. This is a treasure movie!
  3.      It has many plot twists.
  4.       It is very catchy.
  5.       Nice movie.

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
