Klia Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Is that a good book? That's like asking if ice cream tastes good! Alright sorry to insult your intelligence, I just love that book. I absolutly hated how that movie made Marvin's head big. I always imagined him as a lanky, flat-headed, Futurama/Disney's Treasure Island move-esque robot. Somehow Aruther managed to look like James from the Disney puppet version of James and the Giant Peach. I watch too much Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klia Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Ready for this? Because this is pretty long. And I am sorry for hijacking this thread. It's like Treasure Island , only set in space. What an idea! Why didn't anyone think of it sooner? Probably because it's rubbish. If fans of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic were peeved by the Muppet's attempted reworking a few years ago, then they should definitely hide their eyes now. For this charmless sci-fi caper, Disney have taken it upon themselves to make Jim Hawkins a sulky floppy-haired space-surfing delinquent, and Long John Silver a robot-armed cyborg with a cutesy shape-shifting pink blob where once you'd have expected a parrot. Disney have provided us with some wonderful characters over the years, but you'll struggle to find any in here. Hawkins gets the opportunity to escape the whining of his suspiciously young-looking single mum when he discovers a star chart leading him to the hidden "loot of a thousand worlds". So, accompanied by a particularly irritating friend of the family going by the name of Dr Doppler, he sets off on a ship captained by an Emma Thompson-voiced captain and a crew of predictably mutinous mutants. It's all formulaic Disney fare, but from the directors who brought us the triumphs that were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid you expect much more. Yes, the animation is brilliant, and the space theme provides the perfect opportunity for Disney to show off the full whack of its' cartoon capabilities. But we already know Disney can do that. It just wouldn't be one of Walt's flicks if it didn't utilise the latest cutting edge technology, but that's no substitute for good ideas, a sharp script, likable characters and a fun soundtrack. Unfortunately, Treasure Planet struggles to keep its head above water in all four of those areas. This contrived attempt at recapturing the spirit of Disney adventures of old is to be followed swiftly into cinemas by a sequel to The Jungle Book. Is that the sound of great minds whirring we hear emanating from Disney HQ? Nope, it's the sound of a barrel being scraped. It's Got: Martin Short as the malfunctioning hyper-annoying robot B.E.N. - the things you see when you don't have a tin-opener. It Needs: To dump the groaning "adult" soundtrack and inject some proper fun. Alternatives: Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King Summary: The quality of the animation never fails to impress, but can't cover up for the fact that this is one of the blandest cartoon tales ever to come out of the Disney studios. Extremely disappointing. Review by Gary Panton Review Date: 5th February 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Squid Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 D: I LOVED Dr. Doppler. So much cooler than that lame doctor in the book... The book bored me, anyways. WAITAMINNET. I was talking about ATLANTIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Squid Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 ...but Disney seriously needs to cut the cheap sequels. But since they're OBVIOUSLY not making anymore more hand drawn flims, we won't have to worry about that. They're stopping after Cinderella THREE. Walt Disney is crying in his ice block.

I learned long ago to stay away from Disneys sequels. They suck so bad it makes me cry. It really ruins a good classic movie to make a crappy sequel for it too. What a shame.

Jafar Returns was.... special. 40 thieves was better. TOY STORY ONE IS COOL. Foo'. I just feel bad for Atlantis, though, because everyone's dissin' (ha) because of the way it was drawn.

Purple Squid Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I liked Atlantis... Milo was quite Guybrush-like. Oooh, yeah. When I was younger and the movie first came out, I didn't have a favorite character or anything. In fact, I didn't really care about the movie. Now that I'm cool, older, dignified, mature, and awesome, I LOVE the character designs. Especially Vinny and Audrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more fond of their comical movies. I liked The Emperors New Groove and Lilo And Stitch a lot. I like all of the Disney and Pixars...but I have a feeling that may end soon. But aside from that...I think my Disney phase has long ended. I still love cartoons, but I look more forward to stuff like Shrek and Corpse Bride. (I am SO seeing that next Friday!!!) Not that they have anything in common except that they are aimed towards an older age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klia Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The Corpse Bride. I'm actually a little scared of what is going to happen when the movie comes out. I already saw some NC-17 pictures of the Corpse Bride three weeks ago. People, keep your hormones under control until the picture is at least out. Then do whatever you want and leave the dignified people to their own forums.... I wish I was one of the dignified people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY DRAW PORN ABOUT A MOVIE BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT?! THAT'S JUST... STUPID! It was basically a pornographic rewrite of the trailer. Also the movie is based on an old poem. And you're not one of the dignified people simply because you enjoy psychoporn too much. Last time I checked. Too true. too true. As long as it's well-written, plausible, and out there I'm all for it. I was going to mess with your mind some more but seeing as I have company over who is staring over my shoulder I might have to use a code to say this. Never mind. They implanted this idea in my mind. You know how Dogen got his mind taken out by Dr. Loboto and Loboto's primal memories were of Dogen? Why yes, put the two together and you have one of the more nasty ideas from another person's mind. Still, I find Loboto and Crispin more disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
