Treasure Planet (My Version)

Treasure Planet is a 2002 American animated science fiction adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, Spyglass Entertainment, Revolution Studios and Cruise/Wagner Productions. The film is the 43rd animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon produced and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements from a screenplay written by Musker, Clements and Rob Edwards with a screen story by Clements, Musker, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and produced by Roy Conli, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner, and Joe Roth. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, it follows the story of young Jim Hawkins who dreams of life filled with adventure on other legendary planets. When he meets old Billy Bones, his life takes a major turn as he discovers that Treasure Planet may just be real after all.

Treasure Planet was released on November 27, 2002 by Walt Disney Pictures and received generally positive reviews from critics who praised its animation, direction, visual effects, Howard's musical score, songs and vocal performances (particularly Gordon-Levitt, Murray, Hyde Pierce, Thompson, Short, Metcalf, Davis, and Wincott). However, the film performed very poorly at the box office, making it the biggest box office loss in the Disney animated canon. This was because it not only due to having a huge competition with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Die Another Day, and The Santa Clause 2, but also due to the increasing popularity of computer-animated films, such as the newly released Ice Age. It should be noted, however, that it had a positive reception from movie critics and that the film has gained a strong cult following and got nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
