Treasure Planet

Itself a source of classics, Disney brings a respectful touch to this animated, interstellar version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s revered “Treasure Island.” The story still focuses on the moral education of young Jim Hawkins, while the wonderfully inventive visual palette retains plenty of nautical details. It’s an anachronistic approach that leaves room for both pirates and cyborgs, not to mention oddities such as cannons that shoot laser balls.
