All aboard in our ship heading to "Treasure Planet"!

From the directors that brought us The Little Mermaid, this is Treasure Island in space. This film just made me want to read the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's quite an interesting concept since the outer space is as vast, deep, and mysterious as the ocean. I don't know if you've even heard of Treasure Island but it's a very good coming-of-age adventure story about pirates (aside from Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan). FYI, "there would be no Pirates of the Caribbean without Treasure Island" I quote from Mr.John Amrhein in dailymail.com.uk. 

The story is basically the same with the novel but with a few added twists to the characters, plot, and setting. It's about a troubled boy named Jim Hawkins who lives with his mother who manages the Benbow Inn, when suddenly a ship crashed nearby. The strange pilot was hurt and before he died, left a sphere, and a warning: "Beware of the cyborg" . Their inn was attacked by an unknown group of pirates but Jim, his mother, and Dr. Doppler escaped along with the sphere.The sphere turned out to be a map to the legendary Treasure Planet! With Jim wanting to redeem himself and rebuild the Benbow, they set off to sail in the RLS Legacy where he was assigned to work with the cook, Long John Silver, who's (guess what?) a cyborg.

 

He suddenly had suspicions about him and the rest of the crew. However, not for long he will find out the reason for all their quiet chattering.With pirates, ships, treasures, and solar surfing you will love the sky more when you watch this film. 

This has been one of Disney's most underrated films (I'll be showing you more of them soon.) I don't understand why though, it's visually beautiful and has very good pacing for the plot without missing a single scene. Jim and Long John Silver's moments that make them seem like father and son are very heartwarming. I like the soundtrack too. If you loved "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls you gotta love Jim's theme song titled "I'm Still Here" by the same band. The scene where they played that song along was just my favorite. It made me feel sad for him but also hopeful. This movie will just make you realize what is the truest treasure you can ever find. And also, don't you ever forget that:
