exactly, Treasure Planet wasn't THAT bad....

Man, I REALLY need to see this movie. I feel so out of the loop when people talk about it!

ShyVi, didn't you know that it's your duty as an animation fan to give "Treasure Planet" a view?

Yeah, I'll get around to it soon.

At least to know what the fuss is all about.

For some weird reason, and not trying to knock it, the whole plot looks like something you might have seen on "DuckTails." They had a lot of that "Swashbuckling Adventure" stuff, either on the sea and in space as well. Plus that whole time-traveling five-parter.

Or maybe even DuckTales

Seriously, the only thing about Treasure Planet that was a shame was that they did that whole flying Jolly Roger in the Peter Pan sequel earlier in the same year that kind took the whole space-ships idea down a peg or two.

Still impressive though, however drawn from various sources the movie is.

The flying ship in "Return to Never Land" was cool.

BUT it looked very out-of-place with the rest of the film, which was meant to resemble the look of Disney's older animation. It could've used a bit more work.

Now here's a REALLY interesting article:

I've commented before on the ultra-secretive world of Pixar. They don't even give studio tours. (at least not to the general public.)

Funny, after 20 years of living in the relatively sheltered world of Pixar, John Lassetter faces his greatest challenge yet....rabid internet fanboys!

Ha ha.

Now the crew up in Emeryville? Those guys are notoriously tight-lipped. I don't know whether it's the Roach Motel aspect of that particular animation studio (As in: When's the last time you heard of an ex-Pixar employee? Never, right?

Actually, a while ago a friend told me that he knew someone who quit working there because of all the pressure they put on you.

rabid internet fanboys!

...And the occasional rabid internet fangirl.

No Meg - I think he has much more to worry about us rabid internet fanboys =P
