The Movie
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's great adventure, Treasure Island, Walt Disney Pictures' thrilling new animated space adventure, Treasure Planet, takes movie-goers on a breathtaking journey across the universe. At the center of the story is fifteen-year old Jim Hawkins, who joins the crew of an intergalactic expedition as cabin boy. Befriended by the ship's charismatic cyborg, John Silver, Jim and the alien crew battle super- novas and ferocious space storms. But danger lies ahead when Jim discovers that his trusted friend, Silver, is actually a scheming pirate. Confronted with this betrayal, Jim finds the strength to face the mutineers and discover a "treasure" beyond anything he had ever imagined. Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, the acclaimed writing/directing team responsible for The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, this exciting new adaptation explores the furthest reaches of the imagination.
