Having trouble letting go of that one episode of your favorite series?
Grieving a gone-too-soon show?
I understand why it flopped.

Most of the characters are either robots or human-shaped aliens, none of which make good toys.
There are no musical numbers.
There is no love story or castle, and no big bad villain to defeat.
It is, by all accounts, a forgettable experiment by Disney.
But damn all that to hell, because I am still not overTreasure Planet.
That is the punch in of moral reckoning usually reserved for episodes ofBlack Mirror.
This movie is also notable because the protagonist doesnt get a love story.
Where most futuristic sci-fi adopts a cool-hued blue-and-gray aesthetic,Treasure Planetis awash in brilliant, sunny golds.
Its the universal heros journey portrayed with gorgeous visuals.
Its like a goodAvatar.
Of course its not a perfect movie.
In almost every sense,Treasure Planetrepresents Disney Animations awkward teen phase.
But hey, guess what?
I listened toThe Black Paradeon my commute to work this morning.
