Atlantis and treasure planet are my most favorite animated movies! Animated movies back in the day had so much meaning and emotion, i just don't really enjoy newer ones.
Other Disney villains: start out evil and end being more evil John Silver: start out looking for the treasure. At the end picking to save his best friend life
Still my favorite Disney movie 🍿 I don't care what anyone says! There was something really special about this. I'm glad I got to see this masterpiece in theaters
I cried so hard when I first saw this years ago. For anyone who has ever experienced how it is to be abandoned, to be unseen by your parents and to feel lost and confused while navigating your teenage years, this movie resonate so deeply.
I tell you what, of all the movies I’ve seen nothing hits harder than Jim looking up to Silver as a father figure! So much better than all the stereotypical romance in the Disney movies. I think at lot of us can relate to this one way or another!! 🥺
Merchandising and making movies like this known are tough. If they felt like it was going to sink, it's almost like "why even try?" But even when studios make something they aren't too proud of, it's nice to know that there's people who care about films and shows like these
Sinbad...Treasure Planet...Spirit...Atlantis...El Dorado...Mulan...Aladdin...I grew up with these movies. The good movies. All of them were great but...Treasure Planet was just a complete masterpiece. The animation style, the voice acting, the character development, the emotion...to this day this movie makes me feel things I never thought I could feel again. These were the good old days...But a wise man once told me "You never know you're in the good old days, until those days have come and gone". My memories of the time I spent with my grandparents watching these movies...dressing up like Jim...singing this very song...I'll always hold them dear to my heart.
also don't forget "The Iron Giant" We all got that kid part of us tucked away somewhere in us. As for you Zomvivi I don't think it would be to hard to find Treasure Planet online, maybe try putlocker.
+Vitaly Petrovich oh yeah i know. i didnt say i havent watched it because i didnt find it. i just ... idk i didnt watch it. i kinda forgot. also theres so many memories coming with this that make me cry
Nikita Komatsu I'ts funny i wrote to disney about making a 2nd of this movie, and they said that if there were more people who want's a 2nd they will make it.
Seeing this as a dude 8n his mid20s I appreciate the fact that the film doesn't center about some love fantasy tale. It's just about a young boy who is seeking his purpose in the cosmos ang going through many obstacles to get there. I'm sure many of us can sorta resonate with him
Best movies are like this, man. A great film that just deals with men doing men shit, is Master and Commander. I highly recommend it if you havnt checked it out. Great movie. Horses for courses of course.
Almost no movies about this topic, so that's why these rare gems hit so hard. Disney even deliberately sabotaged the success of this movie in favour of disney princess fairy tales. Screw the bois, am I right? Disney sucks.
Am i the only one that cries at the scene where Jim and Silver say goodbye...its just such a beautiful moment i cant hold back the tears. It really makes me appreciate that i have a father who will do anything for me and will always be there. Silver is the father that Jim deserves, for even after he could have everything he searched for his entire life, he chose the young man he quite accidently became a father figure too. Its just honestly heart breaking and beautiful
My tear up part is Silver looking at his robotic hand and lightly confesses to Jim saying, "You give up a few things, chasing a dream." And man I felt Jim when he asked, "Was it worth it?" For any dreams we have, definitely make it worth it.
Treasure Planet failed because Disney wanted it to fail. Treasure Planet was the last 2D film Disney did. They weren't interested in old school animation anymore, they were headed into the computer and 3D era. They deliberately under advertised the film and then the trailers they released told the whole story of the movie. Disney wanted it to flop as an excuse to leave 2D animation behind. And it worked.
When my dad passed 2yrs ago, I Still listen to this song to remind myself that even though my dad is gone, he's still with me in my memories and In my heart. I love you dad❤
I miss when movies were like this. Beautiful and expressive animation. Characters with depth. Heart-wrenching yet wholesome storylines. Good messages. Great humor at the right places.
tried showing this movie to my nephew because it was my favourite growing up so i wanted him to experience it too ,he fell asleep 20 mins in.... i've never been so insulted in my life :/
Oh mate, with Millenials, before showing them anything from our time...you have to sit them down and punch them square in the face. This both cleanses their palette and also asserts dominance.
I think treasure planet is better than frozen. Yeah frozen shows girl power and you don't need a guy blah blah, but treasure planet doesn't have any romance either it's more about unexpected friendships...just my opinion :)
Angelique Exo Wow! I share the same opinion as you, what i love of this movie is that there´s no romance at all, not with the main character and that make it special, this is a good story because they focused in friendship and growing up.
+Laura Steele (LauraSteele94) Sisterly love was covered in Lilo and Stitch. Not marrying someone you just met is common sense. "Girl power" was covered in Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and Pocahontas.
I agree brother, these new things my fams younger generations watches isn't what we had. Dreams to imagine and think at night for weeks, movies that grab you and bring you to them. Before was magical. Now..... Ugh
Still can't believe this movie is failed in theaters, and was forgotten by everyone. I saw it for the first time when i was 5 or 6 years old, in 2006, and years after -- it still my favourite Disney's movie. After Ratatouille and 'the gold classic' Beauty and the Beast, of course. And this song gives me a chills every time i listening it... Absolutely THE BEST Disney's movies OST ever! I love Disney. Thanks for the great childhood!
Treasure planet is far by one of Disney’s best movies ever next to Atlantis. They are both creative , have a great story and great characters. This is my favourite Disney movie ever. Jim is the best and this movie was just everything... I wish this movie was super famous instead of stuff like frozen... This movie was just incredible Edit- Thanks for over 1,200 likes! This was my first comment to get 1k and I'm glad it was this one xxx Also no one here is bad so pls no arguing thx xx
I met a girl once and she was telling me how she is a Disney nut, and I’ll never forget how I mentioned Atlantis and then she responded back by saying that it is the worst one I honestly still get upset when I think about her saying that. I wonder if it’s a princess-complex, or she’s just too stupid to appreciate it. And then I read comments like this and I’m like “YES” I’m not alone; they’re really others lol. It’s like who raised her, what an ignoramos.
SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED SO UNDERRATED HELP I WANT THIS FILM TO BE AN AWARD WINNER SO EVERYONE KNOWS HOW IMPACTFUL AND STRONG THE STORY REALLY IS, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. 😭😭
I am a question to the world Not an answer to be heard Or a moment that's held in your arms And what do you think you'd ever say? I won't listen anyway, you don't know me And I'll never be what you want me to be And what do you think you'd understand? I'm a boy, no, I'm a man You can't take me and throw me away And how can you learn what's never shown? Yeah, you stand here on your own They don't know me 'cause I'm not here And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change? They're the ones that stay the same They don't know me 'cause I'm not here And you see the things they never see All you wanted I could be Now you know me and I'm not afraid And I wanna tell you who I am Can you help me be a man? They can't break me as long as I know who I am And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change? They're the ones that stay the same They can't see me but I'm still here They can't tell me who to be 'Cause I'm not what they see Yeah, the world is still sleepin' While I keep on dreaming for me And their words are just whispers And lies that I'll never believe And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can they say I never change? They're the ones that stay the same I'm the one now 'cause I'm still here I'm the one 'cause I'm still here I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
I know it's something that passes quickly but I love the small details of young Jim stumbling and how frantically he's trying to catch his dad only to miss by a few seconds. Like it's very small thing to animate the little things make a big difference
this movie, this music, have something big, something that any other movie have. there's something deep. a secret greatness. i feel so blessed. and i know there's some others that understand me. i am here too. we are disillusioned youth.
Totally agree. This movie is my childhood. The lyrics of this is my life. I'm 16 and I have a earing. Hahah this sounds like a fanboy... but that's the true..
+Oscar Medellín (warpaint) I understand perfectly , this movie is my favorite of Disney, because I identify with Jim and this song. "we are disillusioned youth" :)
Can I just say, Disney's greatest movie. It deals with a teen who's experienced a troubled life, nothing about finding love. Every teen as some point feels like Jim, an outcast and like the whole world's against them. He's so relatable. This is a fantastic movie with great animation, but so underrated.
@@kinginigo8007 I agree treasure planet is a great woke movie about a kid not following his parents footsteps and taking his own path. Lol I’m leftist and grew up with it yet I can see the message lol. Media that’s usually good is well written woke movies.
Disney didn't believe in this project so they basically shot it in the foot and left it to die. If it was properly promoted it would've made so much more
The fact that Disney shot this movie in the foot and it still managed to make something like 78% of it's Budget at the Box Office. Is a testament to how good this Movie was, imagine what could've been if it was properly marketed.
☹ This was a great movie for me. Timing of release, promotion and advertisement can make or break any movie. If this was released with other strong movies, competition for viewers will be tough. Just like Home Alone vs Rescuers Down Under.
Karma Mussalo I'm a straight dude so I didn't have a crush on him, but as a teen I bought a jacket like his and cut my hair the same as his, and I used to climb up to the roof at night and sit there like him, lol
This song reminds me of my dad. He was in the Air Force, Always leaving. Never being there.. was like he was a stranger. He didn't know me, but he was my hero.
To all the people still growing, still finding their way, their direction, their faith, their sense of purpose... you will make it. you have a place. you will get there. you are loved and appreciated by someone, even if they aren't here right now. never give up who you are. you are still here and the world is not ready for what you will become. You're gonna rattle the stars. God bless you
For me, this is not just a song, not just a cartoon. He awakens very strange feelings in me. I don’t know why, but listening to this song, I’m ready to cry. And yes, I'll be infinitely in love with Jim 😢❤
I've always thought that this song was an excellent anthem of Teen Angst without being "poor me, boo hoo." Then emerges into a strong statement of conviction, a steadfast refusal to budge. His other big song in this movie is also a darn good song. Peace
Yup. Technically speaking i have a “dad” but not in that way. He’s just there. It’s not like me or my brothers ever had anything to do with him. He’s just kinda a garbage person.
I'd say this and the iron giant were my favourite/ most impactful movies growing up... funny how I never rewatch the classics like lion king but I must have seen this movie 14 times after are 19
This movie and this song has always meant alot to me. I was 13 when this movie was released, and my big brother had passed away earlier that year. I think i wanted to flee from everything at that time, i think the life-adventure part and to find strength in yourself was why i liked it so much.
Such good music from his movie, and honestly who would ever thought Disney would tackle the issue of single parents and/or father abandonment issues? Given almost every disney movie includes one or more dead/gone parents this was truly a landmark movie.
It's a father's job to teach his sons how to be men and not overgrown children. That's what's missing from all the soy-boys on the left and the boys in the hood all these years, fathers to control them and teach them, with a good smack to the ears when they mouth off.
I relate to Jim in a way that I never thought I would. Dad almost married an abusive woman when I was young, the wreck that I had become after that greatly resembles how he acts at the beginning of the movie. I can’t remember most of my childhood, it was ripped away from me and I will never get it back. Just recently I had finally realize just how fucked my relationship with my mother was. The second she and my stepfather had found out they were bankrupt she shoved me and my brother on my dad and moved to the other side of our county. I only got to call her every once in a while but back in July she stopped answering. Someone that I had looked up to for most of my life just stopped caring. I’m still in a fucked up headspace, I miss her even when I know all she did was lie and hurt me. I still don’t think I’m good enough and I don’t think I ever will. I think the thing I relate to most is the scene where he’s on the glider and goes straight upwards. The face of pain and being able to breathe without anyone seeing who you truly are gets to me. The first time I rode a bike I felt free. I felt like nobody could ever catch me. I’m even more trapped than I was then but I’m still going forward as well as I can.
You missed her because she is a memorable part of your life. You probably only thought of the good parts when you wanted to talk to her. The feeling of self worthlessness will probably never go away, but you can learn to tell that feeling to shut the fuck up. Think of how much you've accomplished, that makes you good enough, even if it isn't enough for you it's enough to me. "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" -Rocky Balboa
This movie was ahead of it's time. A gem from a different time, hearing this song and seeing the movie makes me feel so much nostalgia. I almost don't want to watch it...
it was a beautiful movie, also had one of the best type of villains: the humanized ones, at the end of the day NOBODY believes himself to be the bad guy, everybody does things and feels they're justified to do them, so the fact you could see more of Long John Silver helped to view him not only as a villain, but as a person, certainly much better than the moustache-twirling type of villains (if anything i'd say he was an anti-villain to some extend, the guy didn't wanted to hurt anyone but was willing to do what he needed to do to reach his goal, and once he did all he wanted to do was retire and live a good life) xD
Macro Mondo My favorite villains are the ones that you can relate to and think, “If I was in that situation I would probably do the same thing.” This movie just got better as I got older and understood more things. That’s not something you can say about most movies.
Long John was a sympathetic villain, which is much more than how typical villains are usually written. He always gave off good guy vibes even when he's being treacherous, which is what I loved about him.
I can't believe Disney is ashamed of this...? This is brilliant! Brilliant I tell you! The story, the character development, the dialogue, this song, the emotion, it's a flipping rollercoaster! They don't make 'em like this any more folks. We were lucky to grow up right!
Treasure Planet is one of my favorite animated movies growing up, I remember swooning over how good it looks. And even watching it today still looks very impressive
I watched it last for the first time since maybe 10 years, and I could have cried and laughed the whole movie through. It was my favourite when I was younger.
I used to hate mixed animation styles. Especially when the background looked diffrent from the moving things. But this movie, was gold. Fantastic. Except for that spacewhale eye close up...
This movie has real meaning in it. Its not a whole movie to give a single cliche moral, like frozen, good as it is. Treasure planet is deep. In my opinion it is one if the best disney movies ever made, right up there with lion king
As the opposite of Lion King you mean . Lion King is overestimated, it's a plagiat, the logic is not allways here and you dont have the deep personality and moral of a Tarzan or even Zootopia.
Just watched this movie for the first time. Never would have guessed that the themes of fatherhood, fatherfigures and absent fathers would be at the center of the movie. I can relate alot to this. So I will not lie. Jim and Silvers relationship was beautifully executed, so beautiful in fact that I lost a lot of eye water in the process of watching.
1. This is based of a book called Treasure Island which Im pretty sure doesn't have a squeal. 2. This was near the end of Disney's cartoon life span so they didn't make enough money.
I’ve never known what it’s like without a dad. But I can’ say this movie showed me not to mess with guys who didn’t have one around. This song makes me think what I would be like to lose my father and I couldn’t do it. You boys/Men who didnt have a dad around, I salute you. It’s crazy I watched this as a child and now 25, in the military and this will still bring a tear to my eye. God speed to you all
You don't really know what it's like if you never grew up with one. If you don't have any memories. When you get older you star to think and you just wonder. So many questions so little answers. But sometimes, it is better not knowing your dad. He has to live up to expectations and if he does not live up to that, he might dissapoint you. I can relate to that song a lot, it actually helps me to soothe the pain, this whole "daddy issues" thing just resurfaced recently. I have somebody that is like Silver in my life but this whole thing is still a trauma I never got over. Because you are always asking yourself why he is not there. Why he did not call you in all these years and why he threw you away like a broken toy. And that is the question that is killing me. A answer will not always bring you salvation, because he might not even have the guts to admit he did something bad.
Why Treasure Planet will always be my favorite movie: James and the way he grew up and is as an adult is literally me. Dad left, wanted him to stay, I was always a troublemaker, etc.
I remember when this came out and now almost 30 years old and I still revisit this song and the movie. Hits just as hard as the first time. To everyone who was apart of that movie thank you!
Ironically, this movie came out before my dad left and I was 8 when he left. This movie and especially this song is what I held onto because it felt like it understood me and I wasn't alone. To this day, I always wondered if my dad ever thought he would leave when he saw that movie and how he feels when I talk about how much I connected to it. also, Jim is very pretty, soooo that's always a plus ;)
his father probably left for the same reason mine did. too much responsibility to care for a child he had with a woman he didn't really love so he threw himself into his work (my dad works on a boat which made this movie even more relatable) only coming home for maybe three days a week, then two then he gets aggravated because he "can't get any rest" and then one day just goes off and never comes home again
i grew up with this movie, that and atlantis from disney also. those movies were the sheeeeeet!!!! and i still love them! idk why disney decided to stop making these kind of movies!
something about steampunk not being populair anymore. movies looked a lot more realistic and disney decided to do the same because of money. not sure if that's the truth though, it's just a rumour.
BABY ALEX yeah the main reason is profit. They were clearly good movies, but people just didn't appreciate them. And kids now a days like nonsense like teen titans go, so we may never get movies like this again.
yeah 21 here. Just remember, there is always that child in your heart that needs some adventure, fun and attention. Keep up the hard work, and be a child once in a while
As Trapezarchy already said, this movie is not 'Steampunk' at all. And neither is the song, as joel vanegas suggested. The movie has a victorian-esque theme, but not steampunk. That'd imply a way weaker level of technology. The song has instruments that absolutely don't belong to the era, and is therefore not steampunk either.
One of those night where I randomly remember this video. Personal favourite Disney film and one of my favourites films of all time. So much nostalgia attached to this film. Just seeing pictures of it alone take me back to my childhood.
The creators of this tried a half dozen times to get Disney to let them make this. After a deal was struck, and then carried out, rand they finally finished, Disney execs damn near set this movie to fail. It came out right after the first Harry potter movie! They had he results from customers saying this would make a great summer movie, and ruined it by realising it in December! Not to mention the simply atrocious ad Campign. I Don't think of this movie as one of Disney's greatest flops. I see. It as their most horrendous killings of an amazing product.
Disney thought that the movie would fail so they set it up to fail. If they had advertised it and stood behind it like all their other movies, then it would have easily made dubble at the box office. Treasure Planet, Titan A.E, The Iron Giant, Atlantis, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit and Brother Bear is some of the most underrated Animation movies out there that had in some way or form been ahead of its time.
they did this with a lot of movies that broke the standard, so when they flopped they could go “see? this is what happens,’ and stick to their moneymaking formula
Having my son opened my eyes to movies like this. I have watched so many exceptional shows since he was born. It has been like a second childhood for me.
Where I grew up there were many people who had suffered to broken homes and im not someone who was spared but it did make loads of very great individuals.
What I love most about this movie is the idea behind of it. Jim has no friends, no goals in his life, no motivation and he is straight on his way into jail. And despite all that he get's 1) a chance and 2) advanced unconditinal trust. The pirates and the - back than - very futuristic art and everythings else make this movie 'cool' - but brilliant about this film is, that Jim realises, that he can do great, if he tries hard. He is able to figure out for himself, that he can have his place in a group of people, that he can be important for others - if he gives his best. He learns to be reliable, he proves to be worth the trust given, he shrugs of the mistrust and non-membership and the feeling of not beeing good enough (not even good enough to make his father stay with him) and the hurt of many past years. Even if things do not work out the way he want's then to (Mr Arrow) Jim is able to voice the turmoil inside of him, something he wasn't able to do before. And even when betrayal (Silver) hit's home he has come so far, that he understands that this betrayal has nothing to to with him. And slowly the chance given and the trust given make him into a young man with enough self confidence to find open doors, to realise that bad/sad things just happen in life and that most of this things are not his fault and therefore he must not take the blame, that there is so much that he can do, and so much about himself he can be proud of and so he makes his own way into a better, happier future. The moral of Treasure planet is -to put it in Silvers fatherly words - that everybody can 'rattle the stars' even a nobody, hopeless, futureless, good-for-nothing kid - which Jim thinks he is - if they try hard and give their best. What an absolutely brilliant and loveable message to every kid and every teen out there who has - not jet - found their way/their place. And don't even start to argue with me about how such stuff only plays out well in Disney movies. Because Mark Sinclair + brother + friends broke into a Theater to vandalize it. They got caught. The theater's artistic director didn't call the police, but offered them roles in the theater's upcoming show. That would be 1) Chance and 2) advanced unconditional trust. Mark Sinclair - better known as Vin Diesel - is the living proof that an adults parental kindness and belief can make a very huge impact on a youngster striding a bit far from the sidewalk.
honestly growing up I always wanted to go to treasure planet and nothings changed I'd go in a heartbeat, sure I loved all the princesses but I felt like I understood Jim so much just trying to prove a lot and to show that he isn't just some dumb rebellious kid. I still watch it especially when I'm sad or having a crappy stressful day. Best Disney film ever!
