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 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."   TheMovieReport.com   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."   www.susangranger.com   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."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw B+ Read review   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
