Disney's put out quite a few bangers, and even some underrated sleeper hits, but then, what does that make Treasure Planet? A bonafide box office bomb and a top 3 expensive animated theatrical failure of all time, the film does join Atlantis: The Lost Empire as a "cult classic" in the Disney pantheon—can the gang find redeeming qualities and give this movie a thumbs-up? Overall, yes we can! With some exceptions. There's an excellent relationship between Jim and John Silver, truly gorgeous animation for its time, and some deep worldbuilding just begging for a sequel that'll never come to light. But can its Hero's Journey story hold up to Marcus's critical eye? Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
