***Treasure Planet: A Faimly Values Movie Adventure***
Stardate: 0212.6

This is the review I did for Amazon.com. I am enclosing it here in response to questions I received on a previous thread.
For the Freeper audience I would also add that a lot of us have been down on Disney for promoting "alternative" life styles, and they do that here as well, but in "Treasure Planet" they are alternative life FORMS not styles.....and they are all "normal"
Also, I would say that there was a true bond between a Mother and her Son, and it showed the impact on them when the husband leaves them behind....This is the first time I can remember seeing the effect of a parent leaving, shown in such an easy to understand way that it might actually convince some future "sperm doners" that leaving has a price that is paid by those left behind
I don't want to tell too much, but old Long John Silver is going to touch your heart.
Here's the review:
The same way "Fantsia" was unappreciated in it's initial release, "Treasure Planet" has so much happening it's not surprising it opened to mixed response: it will take repeated viewings and some time for it to sink in, it's that good....
Opening to low box office, many were quick to lable it a bomb or dud, but far from that, this is a great film that will be around for years.
Incredible animation in an assortment of forms, (ie: simple, computer, saturday morning, anime, straight Disney, and combinations) it's as good as it gets.....I loved the Captain, an english woman with a lot of pluck, and a variety of supporting characters that are all blended in nicely to tell the story of a space age "Treasure Island"
There are many of the regular Disney touches, a very nice song, (only one, and that's fine) and a return to Parent and Child love and respect often missing these days...
I say, open your mind and allow it to wash over you, don't start with preconcieved notions, and you will leave the theater with a good feeling, a moist eye and the knowledge that you will have to see it at least once more to see everything...

Please go take the kids to see Treasure Planet and support Disney as well as Michael Eisner! They need our Conservative dollars to spread their Liberal Agenda!

Disney Boycott Profits from family entertainment products and theme parks are subsidizing Disney's promotion of the homosexual agenda. A boycott - including even their good products - is the only way to impact the company.
“Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie. . .and Disney.” A few years ago that statement would have rung true. No longer. For decades Disney was a name families could trust. The name Disney meant wholesomeness, laughter, quality family entertainment without pornography, violence and profanity. More than anything the name Disney meant children. Sadly, this is no longer true. Disney has gone from trusted friend to hostile foe of those who hold the same values and ideals that this - the world’s most popular entertainment giant - once represented.
Disney’s attack on America’s families has become so blatent, so intentional, so obvious, that American Family Association has called for a boycott of all Disney products until such time as this activity ceases. This section of the AFA website connects you will valuable information that will help you to make your own decision about whether you or your family should continue to support the Walt Disney company.
The place to start would be to download and print out Why American Families Should Boycott Disney. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it. Normally, most computers come with it already loaded.) Next, read some startling facts about the Disney company. Find out what companies are owned by Disney. If you are convinced that a boycott of the Disney corporation is the right thing to do, read How to Boycott the Walt Disney Company.
The most insidious thing about today’s Disney is that they are living off the reputation of the past. Disney continues to make millions off their family fare and then sink it into movies, television shows, and printed material that assail the very values the company once espoused; the values most of us still hold dear. Disney is hoping you won’t make the connection. AFA continues to hope and pray you will!

I have tried to provide an honest report on the film, and I must admit it was much better than I expected....
My bet, over the next few weeks it breaks out as the word of mouth gets around
