Disney, on the other hand, spent over a decade bleeding hundreds of millions on big-budget films like John Carter , Mars Needs Moms and Treasure Planet that tried too hard to create an edginess that would attract adults while neglecting to innovate in terms of animation.

Now, I have to admit... I liked Treasure Planet. I thought the visuals were excellent.

Treasure Planet, like nearly ever film from Disney post Lion King was largely forgettable. Yes, some of the visuals in that film were nice, but the story, the premise, the execution was thoroughly forgetable.

How the studio that made Beauty and the Beast, and then he Lion King... fell so far so fast is beyond comprehension.

Brother Bear? Atlantis? Tazan? Pocahantas? Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, Home on the range? Brother Bear? Bolt?

Some were cuter than others, but NONE remotely are memorable..they were all average films at best.. not horrible, but NOT REMOTELY the calibre that Disney was in its prime.

I liked Treasure Planet.

Me, too. I still sit through the DVD sometimes, when one of the kids gets it out. It has a believable annoying teenage boy, and I really like the steampunk aesthetic.
