Based on the famous 1883 book "Treasure Island" by author Robert Louis Stevenson. However, the setting in this film was moved from the 19th century to the future, where ships sailed through the universe instead of the oceans. Ron Clements and John Musker, who were previously responsible for the classics The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, as well as Hercules, will direct. With a budget of $140 million, Treasure Planet was the most expensive animated film ever. The film was a combination of traditional 2D animation and modern 3D computer animation.
However, the result is less spectacular than previously thought. The combination of 2D with 3D animation looks pretty fake and the characters don't really come into their own. The robot BEN (voiced by Martin Short) in particular is quite annoying. Treasure Planet therefore does not contain the charm of the old Disney films and can be added to the list of Atlantis: The Lost Empire. The story itself is quite entertaining and the pace of the film is fast, but nowhere do you really feel like watching a Disney movie. The film became one of the biggest flops in Disney history. Partly because of this, the Disney head of animation decided not to produce any new 2D animated films beyond those already in production (Brother Bear and Home On The Range). A disappointing decision, as 2D animated films were the trademark of Disney, which achieved huge success in the 90s.
