Fun Facts about Treasure Planet, Disney's Best Animated Deep Cut


 

Treasure Planet is my all-time favorite Disney deep cut. Adapted from the classic Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, it is one of those underrated Disney gems that hold some interesting facts.


The movie has the record for the most expensive traditional animated film because of its extensive use of Disney's Deep Canva technique. According to Retrojunk.com is the technique that "allows a two-dimensional character to move freely through a painterly 3-dimensional computer-generated environment."

The animated film was such a passion project for Ron Clements and John Musker, two of Disney's most successful Disney directors and legends. For Treasure Planet, they waited years to make it. They pitched the movie before making The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and Aladdin. When their then-boss still did not give them the green light to make the movie as promised, they angrily went to the higher-ups, and that's when they got their wish.

Another fun fact is that they based Jim Hawkin's outfit on James Dean's character on Rebel without a Cause. Only on Jim, it was all black.  Jim shedding out his black clothing throughout the film is a metaphor that he becomes less jaded in life and others.

And third, there was supposed to be a sequel or a TV show for the movie even though Clements and Musker wanted the Treasure Planet to be a one-time thing. The sequel was to feature a love interest for Jim and Willem Dafoe voicing a new pirate character.

My Journey as a Professional Writer (Condensed Version)

I am Cecille. I am a writer. Below is what I wrote back in January 3, 2018. I was 25.  My jobs as a writer. Ever since graduating from College. I have always wanted to work for TV and film.  After graduating college with a degree in Communication Arts. I initially wanted to take English Language. Honestly, my college life would have been much happier because I cant jive with most of the students in my year. I have met my closest and kindred spirits in that year but they are only a few.  Anyway... I got a job as sort of an online 'staff writer' for a church acquaintance... It just stopped there. I am now writing this now February 1, 2020. Nighttme 10:27 PM, totally tired and wanting to go to sleep. If I stop right now you'll probably know why. But I am now 27, just a couple of years wiser.
