>takes the best adventure story of all time and tries to make everything ‘extreme’ from making Jim a flying surfer, Flint some godly space pirate emperor, everybody is now a weird furry or a silly robot.
>undercuts tons of beloved and classic adventure imagery by ‘borging it up’, your Hispaniola and magic flying ship from Peter Pan are ‘so last millennia’, it’s y2k and 2.0 now!
>just awful, cringe inducing, already completely dated alterations like Ben Gunn being a robot named B.E.N. Ooh we’re flying through the nebula like an ocean, watch out for the black whole whirlpool!
>this entire false start on the new age of mystery and adventure, shared by Atlantis. Like it’s more teenage and arcane and magical but it kind of sucks because it’s supposed to be new-age. Like this was an unsavory or weird idea of new-age magic and adventure
Animation and performances are great but this movie was such a bad choice, you can really see the gears turning like they’re trying to upgrade an old ride with tacky new stuff. I wouldn’t say it’s disrespectful of the original so much as it loses it’s sense of adventure by altering everything in corny ways. Atlantis was a bit better but also had this feeling of trying too hard. Anyone else feel the same way?

          The creators thought Disney sabotaged it. Personally I remember getting some Treasure Planet asteroid-shooting game CD from cereal.

            I remember that too. It was a 3D game where you controlled the ship moving through space. If you shoot at the space whales the captain reprimands you and then Jim says "Sorry ma'am, won't happen again!"

    It wasn't just a gimmick. The creators were super into it and kept nagging Disney to let them make it. Disney wasn't interested until they kept making hits, but the film performed bad like the execs expected.

    Disney fell into mediocrity for a while with this film. Fantasia 2000, Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis and Lilo & Stitch were good. This is when they lost their touch imo.

    I've never seen this animated film, but whenever I do see an image of it on somewhere like say, right here on Cinemaphile, I'm always vividly reminded of that one obscenely demented picture of the cat-women captain character equipped with a gigantic sweaty set of hyper-virile male genitalia, force feeding the mercilessly bound dog character untold heaps of what is presumably her own waste - his grotesquely shit-bloated body staring hopelessly back at her in a grim sterile horror-movie dark corridor - his body of course already stuffed to the point of no escape, shit filled flesh sandwiched between the soughing walls

    I don't even know their names and yet this is stained within my memory
