"Flátula es tal vez el mejor idioma para expresar mi valoración, algo que me da tristeza y no gusto decir..."
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez
3/10
"This might please the 8 year-olds, but more discerning fans of animation, and adventure are likely to be disappointed with how slack and tedious this latest Disney offering is."
Modamag.com
Brian Orndorf
3.5/4
"Not since
Mulan
(or, quite possibly, even
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
) has there been a Disney cartoon so casual about its own brilliance..."
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
3/4
"...just the sort of fast-paced adventure flick that today's kids aren't getting enough of."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C+
"The film failed to be imaginative enough."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1.5/4
"
Treasure Island
may be a much-loved story, but you would never know it from viewing the uninspired castration that is
Treasure Planet.
"
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
3/4
"It brings to mind the bookish charms of undervalued Disney cartoons like
The Rescuers
and
The Black Cauldron
."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
C+
"It's a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy."

Eric D. Snider
2.5/4
"Visually rather stunning, but ultimately a handsome-looking bore, the true creativity would have been to hide Treasure Planet entirely and completely reimagine it."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B+
"Imaginative, ridiculously anachronistic and distinctly masculine, this is Disney's best traditional animation effort since
The Emperor's New Groove
."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
B+
"A winningly fresh take on a tale that has never gone out of style...Disney has done Stevenson proud."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"A spiffy animated feature about an unruly adolescent boy who is yearning for adventure and a chance to prove his worth."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"As family films go, this one offers an engaging and exciting 90 minutes."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"There is nothing in Treasure Planet we haven't seen in recent animated efforts such as "Titan AE" and Disney's own "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" . . ."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
1/5
"Disney's animated pirate tale has masterful visuals -- and an amateur's script."
Netflix
James Rocchi
6/10
"Although Disney follows its standard formula in this animated adventure, it feels more forced than usual."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
7/10
"A rousing good time that should entertain kids and adults alike."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
8/10
"Many entertaining characters, a rockin' space adventure, plenty of eye-catching animation."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
5/10
"In attempting to update the novel, Disney filmmakers have dulled the characterizations and dialogue and given us instead a lovely series of picture postcards from outer space."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
6/10
"A typical trip that resembles
The Goonies
as much as it does Stevenson's novel"
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
4.5/5
"Delicious aesthetic, zippy dry dialogue, and some great adventure. Superb voice casting."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
2.5/4
""Treasure Planet" is unfortunately more like a Saturday morning cartoon, even with a running time of eighty or so minutes. It's no "Lilo & Stitch," but it's worth a matinee if only to see it; too bad there couldn't have been more to feel."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
B+
"A movie that will thrill you, touch you and make you laugh as well."
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
A-
"...spiced with humor ('I speak fluent flatula,' advises Denlopp after a rather, er, bubbly exchange with an alien deckhand) and witty updatings (Silver's parrot has been replaced with Morph, a cute alien creature who mimics everyone and everything around)"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/4
"Its sense of adventure is a minor saving grace in a flawed movie"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"A moviegoing pal of mine calls it ‘Disney goosebumps,’ the awestruck, think-I’m-gonna-cry feeling evoked when the alchemy works and image and music fuse with your imagination and longing to transport you to another world."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/4
"Inspired visuals and fluid animation, even blown up on IMAX, weren't enough to prevent me from being bored out of my skull."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2.5/4
"Most Disney flicks work on an adult level; I don't feel like I need a kid to lug into the theatre with me. This time, I felt like I needed a kid."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
4/5
"This is exactly what animation should be about, presenting us with a thrillingly imaginative adventure that is utterly liberated from trivialities like the laws of physics and possibility."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3/5
"Each scene looks wonderful, and the action is energetic and exciting enough to keep us hooked. Forget where it came from and it's not half bad."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C+
"While the artwork in the film is very good, the story is curiously cool and emotionally uninvolving."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A-
"The techs are, simply, outstanding in every way."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
3.5/5
"Owes more to the swashbuckling serials of yesteryear cinema than it does to cold, steely science fiction ponderings of the future."
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
3/4
"splendid"
sbs.is
Stefan Birgir Stefansson
9/10
"[A] raucous adventure into infinity."

Susan Granger
2.5/4
"Lends itself to the narcotizing bland (sinister, though not nearly so sinister as the biennial Disney girl movie) machinations of the biennial Disney boy movie."
