‘Treasure planet’ a movie by ‘Walt Disney’
Jim Hawkins a kid when we first see him reads a book by his mother in his standard-issue Disney fatherless home. But he grows up into a troublemaker, and it is only the possession of a holographic treasure map. Fifteen-year-old Jim Hawkins stumbles upon a map to the greatest pirate trove in the universe. The tale follows Jim's fantastic journey across a parallel universe as cabin boy aboard a glittering space galleon. Befriended by the ship's charismatic cyborg (part man, part machine) cook John Silver, Jim blossoms under his guidance, and shows the makings of a fine spacer as he and the alien crew battle supernovas, black holes and ferocious space storms. But even greater dangers lie ahead when Jim discovers that his trusted friend Sliver is actually a scheming pirate with mutiny in mind. Confronted with a betrayal that cuts deep into his soul, Jim is transformed from boy to man as he finds the strength to face down the mutineers and discovers a "treasure" greater than he had ever imagined.
Earlier before this movie came out there was a classic book as ‘Treasure Island’ by Robert Louis Stevenson and upon that presumption this movie has been made. However, it is not even close to what book has instead Disney attempted to make this gimmick movie called as “Treasure Panet”. Which means it is not faithful to the book. This film is beautifully made. It has great visuals for a 2-dimensional animated film and is also far ahead of its time in various aspects.
The film theme is set in the outer space with Alien worlds and other galactic wonders. This film is a delicacy for young kids, but with a theme that extends out to those who are also not so young. Although a basic plot, this film is full of magic. The Computer Generate Imagery elements are incredible even though it’s still a cult following as of today what can be seen.
The movie also has something which has been outnumbered in also the other movies of Walt Disney such as subliminal messages in the background of the movie. Moreover used of symbolism can be seen in the entire movie throughout. The shape-shifting concept is also described in a character as ‘Morph’ in the film. In mythology, folklore and speculative fiction, shape shifting is the ability of a being or creature to completely transform its physical form or shape. This is usually achieved through an inherent ability of a mythological creature, divine intervention, or the use of magic. So, the film has also taken things from the ancient times until now. There’s a big meaning behind this movie which the people when it came in 2002 didn’t understand because of their narrow minds.
Every single character has defined his role in such a manner that it can be seen around us in today’s time and even the future. For example the character as John Silver(Brian Murray) has mutiny in his mind. So, this mutiny can be seen by some groups of people and organizations formed in all over the world. Another thing which I noticed is that the character as B.E.N(Martin Short) who was a cybernetic navigator who apparently had some fried memory board, so now here’s what catchy for me. In today’s science world any human being who works in groups who have mutiny in their minds if they are not loyal or go astray are given such a treatment that there memory is washed up or could be restored as how it is constructed according to their own requirements.
