I want a moment to be real...

 


Treasure Planet is one of my favorite movies. I have never been so impacted by an animated film in my life. The similarities between Jim and myself are never-ending and uncanny. If they were to make a live-action version of this film I would be extremely excited, if they did it justice of course. But either way there is beauty in classics such as Treasure Island, and more so in this take on it. I love Sci-Fy and adore pirate stories so really it's perfect. The animation is superb, the voice acting perfect, and the combination of computer animation and hand-drawn art is astounding. The soundtrack is one of the most amazing things about this movie and I have been listening to it for almost 15 years, so I think that says something about the artistry of this film. It's wild and magnificent! and I'll never be uninterested in Jim Hawkins's journey or the mistakes that shaped his life and charged a new path for dreamers like me.
