There was an awful movie adaption that did not do the book justice (0 more)
Loved this book growing up. Well written and different, your pulled into a world of imagination where any story can come to life with just a few well spoken words. Who doesn't read a book and wish they couldn't be part of it, this story runs with that idea, showing that just because the book ends doesn't mean the story does.

Best book I've read in a long time
I loved this book and have read a few of hers since, the book is well written with a good balance between scene setting and dialogue. The female main character is believable and fits well in the time frame. There are enough twists to keep you going without it being hard to keep up with the narrative.

An awesome soundtrack by John Rezenik lead singer of the goo goo dolls
Awesome action scenes
The subtle Easter eggs to it's source material
Basically if you read the story of treasure island you'll notice there's bound to be some changes or cuts and know that it's pretty much the same story (1 more)
It's a product of it's time. You'll definitely know that the film hasn't aged well which isn't the movies fault. Example A. The bad CG animation at the time was great but today's standards.... probably not so great
Treasure planet is good
An underrated Disney classic treasure planet deserves the praise it gets. The movie is swashbuckling fun and a pretty good movie as well. Now let's see just how good it is well...the movie for starters has a great cast of characters from our main character Jim to the awesome John silver. Also the soundtrack is awesome too with songs like I'm still here being the favorite out of the bunch. Also the movie has some pretty intense moments as well as some humor as well.

If I had to pick one bad about the movie is that it's a pretty generic plot and the story is pretty much more or less the same plot of treasure island

The book has potentional to be amazing but for me the story did not flow and the connections between the different time periods and the characters just didn't work as well.

I am not a fan of Star Trek but when they made this movie I started enjoying Star Trek. It was very well made and easy to understand.
