trentowilson A modern retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale that portrays our cast "IN SPACE".The action and atmosphere are excellent, and the father-son bond that builds between Jim and Long John Silver is another highlight of the film amid is a great example of "show, don't tell".The only things that I'm not a huge fan of are Morph and B.E.N. Both characters can be very annoying at times, especially B.E.N. (no offense Martin Short...)Overall, it's a fantastic adaptation with a few errors here and there.

bearsss This movie succeeds with me for the same reason it failed at the box office. It is creative, different, and it does not follow the safety rails of a typical Disney movie, it does way more and I applaud it for that.

namrof I don't know how I never knew this movie existed but I just saw it and I really liked it! It's a great coming of age film. There are pirates, aliens, adventures, treasure, adorable animal sidekicks, a robot companion with great comedic timing and hover boards. What more could a movie lover ask for? This movie has a bit of everything and the story isn't bad. I would actually like this to be a series because I think it could be really cool. A live action version would be interesting to see.

Anssi Vartiainen Disney has always been at its best when adapting existing stories and characters. So in that regard this film was almost like a match made in heaven. Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel is full of pirates, excitement, exotic locations, humongous characters and personalities. Everything that Disney does so well.And for the most part they succeed here as well. The story from the novel is adapted without any major hitches and the characters are very likable. Brian Murray as Long John Silver is terrific in his role and is easily the character you want to see the most. Emma Thompson and Roscoe Lee Browne are a lot of fun as the ship's captain and her impeccably mannered first mate. Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jim Hawkins is a bit of a hit and miss for me, but not by much. I think they were going for a younger Aladdin, but overshot the "I'm a rebel" factor.The film also looks amazing. All the ships and most of the backgrounds are done with CGI, but they went with such stylistic designs, which are not even supposed to look realistic, that they have aged barely at all. The character designs are also inventive, especially Silver's new and improved cyborg arm and leg. The score is not bad, though perhaps a touch too modern and pop for it to be truly classic.Where the film does stumble slightly is the story. Nothing major is changed, and the original is one of the best ever written, but the film suffers from the same problem Atlantis: The Lost Empire did. Namely that there are so many events to cover that the normal Disney running time simply does not cut it. This needed to be about half an hour longer for it to flow properly. Now more than one scene feels rushed and they fail to capture the emotions and the themes behind the buccaneering and hunting for lost gold.It's a fun film and definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of Disney or adventures in general. It doesn't quite have that edge of Renaissance films, but it's still definitely one of the better animated films of this millennium.
