Treasure Planet is a American animated science fantasy action - adventure film [2] produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 27, The 43rd Disney animated feature film , it is a science fiction adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson 's adventure novel Treasure Island and was the first film to be released simultaneously in regular and IMAX theaters.
The film was co-written, co-produced and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker , who had pitched the concept for the film at the same time that they pitched another Disney animated feature, The Little Mermaid The musical score was composed by James Newton Howard , while a couple of songs were written and performed by John Rzeznik.
On the planet Montressor, young Jim Hawkins is enchanted by stories of the legendary pirate Captain Nathaniel Flint and his ability to appear from out of nowhere, raid passing ships, and disappear in order to hide the loot on the mysterious "Treasure Planet". He reluctantly helps his mother Sarah run the family's Benbow Inn, and derives amusement from "Alponian solar cruising": skysurfing atop a rocket-powered sailboard.
One day, a spaceship crashes near the inn. The dying pilot, Billy Bones , gives Jim a sphere and tells him to "beware the cyborg ". Suddenly, a gang of pirates raid and burn the inn to the ground while Jim, his mother, and their dog-like friend Dr. Delbert Doppler flee. At Doppler's study, Jim discovers that the sphere is a holographic projector containing a star map, leading to the location of Treasure Planet. Despite Sarah's reluctance, Jim and Doppler decide to travel to Treasure Planet in order to gain the funds to rebuild the inn.
The ship is commanded by the feline Captain Amelia along with her stone-skinned and disciplined first mate , Mr. The crew is a motley bunch, secretly led by the half-robot cook John Silver , whom Jim suspects is the cyborg he was warned about.
Jim is sent down to work in the galley, where he is supervised by Silver and his shape-shifting pet, Morph, to prevent Jim discovering the crew's mutinous intentions. Despite Jim's mistrust of Silver, they soon form a tenuous father-son relationship.
During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova and Jim secures the lifelines of all the crew members. As a black hole forms from the supernova, the ruthless and aggressive insectoid crew member Scroop secretly cuts Mr.
Arrow's lifeline, who falls to his death in the black hole. The ship manages to ride the shock waves to safety, and the crew mourns the loss of Arrow while Jim is framed for not securing Arrow's lifeline properly. Jim is later comforted by Silver, who knows that Scroop is responsible for Arrow's death.
As the ship reaches Treasure Planet, Jim overhears the crew and soon discovers they are indeed pirates led by Silver, and a mutiny erupts. Jim, Doppler, Amelia and Morph prepare to abandon the ship.
Jim retrieves the map and Silver targets him, but cannot bring himself to shoot Jim and allows him to escape with the others. The group are shot down during their escape, injuring Amelia, and they discover that the map was actually Morph in disguise, the map being left on the ship in a coil of rope Morph had taken the map to.
While exploring Treasure Planet's forests, they soon meet B. The pirates corner the group there. Using a secret passage, Jim, Morph, and B. Scroop, who is guarding the ship, becomes aware of their presence and attacks.
When the artificial gravity is disabled during the struggle, Scroop attempts to cut Jim loose of the ship, but Jim succeeds in kicking him overboard to float to his death in deep space. They obtain the map, but upon returning they are caught by Silver and his crew, who have already captured Doppler and Amelia.
Silver forces Jim to use the map, directing them to a portal that opens to any location in the universe, which Jim realizes is how Flint conducted his raids. They open the portal to the center of Treasure Planet, discovering that the planet is really an ancient machine that Flint commandeered to stow his treasure, but trip a hidden sensor as they enter the core of the planet. As the pirates prepare to collect the loot, Jim finds the skeletal remains of Flint, holding the missing component to B.
He reinserts it, and B. The planet soon begins to fall apart. Not wanting to go empty-handed, Silver attempts to escape on Flint's ship loaded with a fraction of the treasure, but eventually lets it go to save Jim's life. The survivors escape back to the Legacy , but it gets damaged and is unable to escape the planet's atmosphere in time. Jim rigs a makeshift rocket-powered sailboard, and rides ahead of the ship towards the portal.
At the last moment, Jim sets the portal to the Montressor Spaceport, and both he and the crew safely clear the planet's explosion just in time. Jim finds Silver below decks about to escape his impending judgment. He allows him to go, and Silver asks him to keep Morph, as well as providing him a handful of the treasure he managed to save to rebuild the Benbow Inn, believing Jim will "rattle the stars". Sometime later, a party is hosted at the rebuilt inn; Doppler and Amelia have married and had children of their own, and Jim, having matured under Silver's mentorship, has become an interstellar cadet.
Jim looks into the skies and sees an image of Silver in the clouds. Treasure Planet took roughly four and a half years to create, but the concept for Treasure Planet which was called Treasure Island in Space at the time was originally pitched by Ron Clements in at the "Gong Show" meeting wherein he and John Musker also pitched The Little Mermaid.
Following the release of Aladdin , the idea was pitched for a third time, but Jeffrey Katzenberg , who was the chief of Walt Disney Studios at the time, "just wasn't interested" in the idea. Disney who backed the filmmakers and made his wishes known to Eisner, who in turn agreed that the studio should produce the movie.
In , their contract was re-negotiated to allow them to commence development on Treasure Planet when Hercules reached completion. Since Musker and Clements wanted to be able to move "the camera around a lot like Steven Spielberg or James Cameron ," the delay in production was beneficial since "the technology had time to develop in terms of really moving the camera.
Several changes were made late in the production to the film. The prologue of the film originally featured an adult Jim Hawkins narrating the story of Captain Flint in first person , [7] [15] but the crew considered this to be too "dark" and felt that it lacked character involvement. Writer Rob Edwards stated that "it was extremely challenging" to take a classic novel and set it in outer space, and that they did away with some of the science fiction elements "things like the metal space ships and the coldness" early on.
Edwards goes on to say that they "did a lot of things to make the film more modern" and that the idea behind setting the film in outer space was to "make the story as exciting for kids now as the book was for kids then". With regard to adapting the characters from the book to film, Ron Clements mentioned that the Jim Hawkins in the book is "a very smart, very capable kid", but they wanted to make Jim start out as "a little troubled kid" who "doesn't really know who he is" while retaining the aforementioned characteristics from the original character.
Livesey, whom John Musker described as "one is more comic and the other's very straight"; these two characters were fused into Dr. Clements also mentions that though the father-son relationship between Jim Hawkins and John Silver was present "to some degree" in the book, they wanted to emphasize it more in the film. Terry Rossio , who worked on the script, later argued the filmmakers made a crucial mistake turning Jim Hawkins into an adolescent.
All of the key scenes are made more dramatic by the fact that it's a young kid who is in danger Treasure Planet made the kid into a young man. Which dilutes the drama of all the situations, start to finish Instead of being an amazing and impressive kid, he became a petulant unimpressive teen. Casting director Ruth Lambert held a series of casting auditions for the film in New York, Los Angeles, and London, but the crew already had some actors in mind for two of the major characters.
Doppler was written with David Hyde Pierce in mind, [6] [18] and Pierce was given a copy of the Treasure Planet script along with preliminary sketches of the character and the film's scenic elements while he was working on Pixar 's A Bug's Life He stated that "the script was fantastic, the look was so compelling" that he accepted the role. Musker said, "This is the first action adventure character that Emma has ever played and she was pregnant during several of the sessions.
She was happy that she could do all this action and not have to train for the part" [22] There were no actors initially in mind for the characters of John Silver and Jim Hawkins; Brian Murray John Silver and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jim Hawkins were signed after months of auditions. Among the lead actors, only Pierce had experience with voice acting prior to the making of Treasure Planet. Conli explained that they were looking for "really the natural voice of the actor", and that sometimes it was better to have an actor with no experience with voice work as he utilizes his natural voice instead of "affecting a voice".
Wyeth , whose illustrations have been described by the film's crew as being the "classic storybook illustration," having a painterly feel to it, and being composed of a warm color palette. There were around forty animators on the crew, and were further divided into teams; for example, sixteen animators were assigned to Jim Hawkins because he appeared on the screen the most, and twelve were assigned to John Silver.
To ensure "solidity" in illustration and personality, each major character in the film had a team of animators led by one supervisor. Conli mentioned that the personalities of the supervisors affect the final character, citing Glen Keane the supervisor for John Silver as well as John Ripa the supervisor for Jim Hawkins as examples. The physical appearance, movements, and facial expressions of the voice actors were infused into the characters as well.
When asked if they drew inspiration from the previous film adaptations of Treasure Island for the character designs, Glen Keane stated that he disliked looking at previous portrayals of the character in order to "clear his mind of stereotypes", but that he drew some inspiration for the manner by which Silver spoke from actor Wallace Beery , whom he "loved because of the way he talked out of the side of his mouth.
Animators also used maquettes , small statues of the characters in the film, as references throughout the animation process. Character sculptor Kent Melton mentioned that the first Disney film to use maquettes was Pinocchio , and that this paved the way to the formation of an entire department devoted to character sculpting.
Keane noted that maquettes are not just supposed to be "like a mannequin in a store", but rather has to be "something that tells you [the character's] personality" and that maquettes also helped inspire the way actors would portray their roles. The animators took Deep Canvas , a technology which they had initially developed for Tarzan , and came up with a process they called "Virtual Sets," wherein they created entire degree sets before they began staging the scenes.
One of the film's goals was to blend different mediums of animation into one film to have such a seamless finish to the point you could not tell the difference between what was two-dimensional hand drawing or computer-generated 3D animations and environments.
For the animation of the Treasure Planet , there are three main elements that were essential to the production of this film. The traditional 2D character animation that Disney is known for, three-dimensional character animation, and the computer-generated or CG environments. Sound designer Dane Davis mentioned that he and his team "scoured hobby shops and junk stores for antique windup toys and old spinning mechanisms" in order to create the sound effects for John Silver to "avoid sounding slick or sci-fi".
The team did some experimentation with the sound used in dialogues, especially with the robot B. The score was composed by James Newton Howard , who said that the score is "very much in the wonderful tradition of Korngold and Tiomkin and Steiner. Walt Disney Records released the film's soundtrack album on November 19, McDonald's included promotional items such as action figures and puzzles in their Happy Meals and Mighty Meals, Pepsi-Cola placed promotional film graphics onto the packaging of a number of their soft drinks Mountain Dew , Code Red Sierra Mist , Mug Root Beer , Orange Slice , and Lipton Brisk , Dreyer's used their delivery truck panels to promote ice cream flavors inspired by the film such as "Galactic Chocolate" and "Vanilla Treasure" , and Kellog included film-branded spoons in their cereal boxes.
A novelization was written by Kiki Thorpe and was published by Puffin Books. Treasure Planet held its world premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on November 17, , [37] [38] though it was also screened in Paris, France on November 6, The site's critics consensus states "Though its characterizations are weaker than usual, Treasure Planet offers a fast-paced, beautifully rendered vision of outer space.
Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post , who gave it 4 stars out of 5, stated that the film "boasts the purest of Disney raptures: It unites the generations, rather than driving them apart". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it 2. Scott of The New York Times described the film as "less an act of homage than a clumsy and cynical bit of piracy", and went on to say that it is "not much of a movie at all" and a "brainless, mechanical picture".
Before Treasure Planet premiered in cinemas, Thomas Schumacher , then-president of Walt Disney Feature Animation, mentioned the possibilities of having direct-to-video releases for Treasure Planet as well as a television series. He stated that they already had "a story and some storyboards and concepts up and a script for what a sequel to [ Treasure Planet ] could be," and that they also had a "notion" of what the series would be.
Willem Dafoe was set to voice Ironbeard. Tommy Walter was asked to write and perform songs for the film. The sequel was canceled when Treasure Planet disappointed at the box office. Several Treasure Planet video games were released.
It was composed of three games Broadside Blast , Treasure Racer , and Etherium Rescue , and players with all three games could unlock a fourth game Ship Shape.
