Has anyone here seen Treasure Planet? What did you think?

I didn't take my kids because I've got some young-uns and I couldn't get a bead on the target audience. The Treasure Island book had some scary moments that older kids would enjoy but could scare younger kids. You'd think with all the millions the studios spend on marketing they could make a parents' decision easier. When I'm in doubt I just wait on the buzz or the video.

I took my 8 year old and 10 year old. I'm a staunch Disney hater and only took the kids because they begged.

Frankly, the movie wasn't that bad. They were obviously pandering to the young boy market as illustrated by the skateboarding theme and inclusion of a "fart monster," a creature which communicates only through flatulence.

I think the problem is that Disney's animated movies have gotten routine. There are too many of them and they are too similar. I also think that Disney is turning a lot of people off with its manipulation of us and our children.

We took our daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandchildren to see it on Thanksgiving. It's a family tradition. We all liked the movie. In fact, the kids loved it!

I think they didn't budget enough money for promotional ads. The only reason I knew it would be released were the McDonald's ads promoting the toys in Happy Meals.

I took my 13 year old daughter over the weekend, and she loved it. I was also pleased with it. Treasure Island was my favorite book as a teenager, and this fairly well followed the original plot. It is worth seeing if you enjoy fantasy.

I've only seen the advertising on TV and it has the smell of a flop all over it. The idea of pirate ships flying through space is ridiculous. If they wanted to transport the RLS classic to space they should have gone all the way and given the characters space vehicles to fly in. The mis tehy came up with is awkward and doesn't work at all.

Enjoyed it. Went with my 30-something son-in-law and 20-something nephew over a Thanksgiving weekend. We all enjoyed it though I didn't get numerical scores from the other guys. $140 mil for an animated film seems a bit much. I much preferred both Monsters, Inc. and Shrek from last year but they were true masterworks. Treasure Planet was a fine reinterpretation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic. I hope that Disney can recoup most of the investment.
