 "This is a good script, good dialogue, funny even for adults. The characters are interesting and often very creatively constructed from figure to backstory. The film will play equally well on both the standard and giant screens."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
 "There's no mistaking the fact that this hybrid misses the impact of the Disney classic, and even that of the excellent 1934 MGM version."
-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"A perfectly competent and often imaginative film that lacks what little Lilo & Stitch had in spades -- charisma."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"The plot's clearly mythic structure may owe more to Disney's strong sense of formula than to the original story. But while the highly predictable narrative falls short, Treasure Planet is truly gorgeous to behold."
-- Peter Bernard, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"At about 95 minutes, Treasure Planet maintains a brisk pace as it races through the familiar story. However, it lacks grandeur and that epic quality often associated with Stevenson’s tale as well as with earlier Disney efforts."
-- Bob Bloom, JOURNAL AND COURIER (LAFAYETTE, IN)
"Will grab your children by the imagination and amaze them and amuse them."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"A spiffy animated feature about an unruly adolescent boy who is yearning for adventure and a chance to prove his worth."
-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH
"A movie that will thrill you, touch you and make you laugh as well."
-- Larry Carroll, COUNTINGDOWN.COM
"Although Disney follows its standard formula in this animated adventure, it feels more forced than usual."
-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"...spiced with humor ('I speak fluent flatula,' advises Denlopp after a rather, er, bubbly exchange with an alien deckhand) and witty updatings (Silver's parrot has been replaced with Morph, a cute alien creature who mimics everyone and everything around)"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"It's a rollicking adventure for you and all your mateys, regardless of their ages."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"It's a fun adventure movie for kids (of all ages) that like adventure."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"In visual fertility Treasure Planet rivals the top Japanese animations of recent vintage."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

"Sucking all the 'classic' out of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and filling the void with sci-fi video game graphics and Disney-fied adolescent angst..."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Has its moments, but it's pretty far from a treasure."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"Though families will enjoy the classic story with a cosmic twist, the most valuable gem is the beautiful mix of hand-drawn and computer animation."
-- Stephanie Cook Broadhurst, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"This version does justice both to Stevenson and to the sci-fi genre."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"Lends itself to the narcotizing bland (sinister, though not nearly so sinister as the biennial Disney girl movie) machinations of the biennial Disney boy movie."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"Visually rather stunning, but ultimately a handsome-looking bore, the true creativity would have been to hide Treasure Planet entirely and completely reimagine it."
-- Erik Childress, HOLLYWOOD BITCHSLAP
"Some of the computer animation is handsome, and various amusing sidekicks add much-needed levity to the otherwise bleak tale, but overall the film never rises above mediocrity."
-- Angel Cohn, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Planet is as much sheer fun as its source material."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"As action-adventure, this space-based homage to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island fires on all plasma conduits."
-- Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"A rip-roaring thrill ride of a movie that will excite young and old alike."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES

"As family films go, this one offers an engaging and exciting 90 minutes."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"As literary desecrations go, this makes for perfectly acceptable, occasionally very enjoyable children's entertainment. You'll forget about it by Monday, though, and if they're old enough to have developed some taste, so will your kids."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"[There's] quite a bit of heart, as you would expect from the directors of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin."
-- Nancy Churnin, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"A truly wonderful tale combined with stunning animation."
-- Paul Clinton, CNN
"This concoction, so bizarre to the adult mind, is actually a charming triumph where its intended under-12 audience is concerned."
-- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL
"We're not talking a Disney treasure here, but if Treasure Planet falls short of gem status, it should provide youngsters with a reasonable amount of diversion."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"For anyone who grew up on Disney's 1950 Treasure Island, or remembers the 1934 Victor Fleming classic, this one feels like an impostor."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Directors John Musker and Ron Clements, the team behind The Little Mermaid, have produced sparkling retina candy, but they aren't able to muster a lot of emotional resonance in the cold vacuum of space."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"It just may inspire a few younger moviegoers to read Stevenson's book, which is a treasure in and of itself."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"You could nap for an hour and not miss a thing."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A film that will enthrall the whole family."
