Cue adventure. The dying pilot of a spaceship that crashes near Sarah's inn gives Jim a sphere that opens into a holographic map to what Jim recognizes as the planet where legend has it that the space pirate Captain Flint buried his great treasure. Jim earns Sarah's reluctant blessing to board the RLS Legacy with dog-like astrophysicist and family friend Dr. Delbert Doppler (David Hyde Pierce) in search of Treasure Planet. Jim is assigned by the cat-like Captain Amelia (Emma Thompson) the position of cabin boy to the ship's cook, the peg-legged, mechanically-armed cyborg Long John Silver (Brian Murray), who is leading a secret mutiny plot. Jim and Silver's complex relationship takes shape in an appealing montage featuring one of two songs performed by the Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik. Casting director Ruth Lambert held a series of casting auditions for the film in New York, Los Angeles and London, but the crew already had some actors in mind for two of the major characters. [15] The character of Dr. Doppler was written with David Hyde Pierce in mind, [4] [14] and Pierce was given a copy of the Treasure Planet script along with preliminary sketches of the character and the film's scenic elements while he was working on A Bug's Life. He stated that "the script was fantastic, the look was so compelling" that he accepted the role. [16] Likewise, the character of Captain Amelia was developed with the idea that Emma Thompson would be providing her voice. [17] "We offered it to her and she was really excited," Clements said. Musker said, "This is the first action adventure character that Emma has ever played and she was pregnant during several of the sessions. She was happy that she could do all this action and not have to train for the part" [17] There were no actors initially in mind for the characters of John Silver and Jim Hawkins; Brian Murray (John Silver) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Jim Hawkins) were signed after months of auditions. [4] Gordon-Levitt stated that he was attracted to the role because "it's a Disney animated movie and Disney animated movies are in a class by themselves," and that "to be part of that tradition is unbelievable to me". [18] Musker mentioned that Gordon-Levitt "combined enough vulnerability and intelligence and a combination of youthfulness but incompleteness" and that they liked his approach. [14]

Treasure Planet took roughly four and a half years to create, but the concept for Treasure Planet (which was called "Treasure Island in Space" at the time) was originally pitched by Ron Clements in 1985 during the meeting wherein he and John Musker also pitched The Little Mermaid. [4] [5] Clements stated that Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the chief of Walt Disney Studios at the time, "just wasn't interested" in the idea. [6] Since Musker and Clements wanted to be able to move "the camera around a lot like Steven Spielberg or James Cameron," the delay in production was beneficial since "the technology had time to develop in terms of really moving the camera." [7] Principal animation for the film began in 2000 with roughly 350 crew members working on it. [8] In 2002, Roy Conli estimated that there were around 1,027 crew members listed in the screen credits with "about four hundred artists and computer artists, about a hundred and fifty musicians and another two hundred technologists". [4]There were around forty animators on the crew, and were further divided into teams; for example, sixteen animators were assigned to Jim Hawkins because he appeared on the screen the most, and twelve were assigned to John Silver. To ensure "solidity" in illustration and personality, each major character in the film had a team of animators led by one animation supervisor. Conli mentioned that the personalities of the supervisors affected the final character, citing Glen Keane (the supervisor for John Silver) as well as John Ripa (the supervisor for Jim Hawkins) as examples. The physical appearance, movements, and facial expressions of the voice actors were infused into the characters as well.

Treasure Planet puts its own spin on Robert Louis Stevenson's 19th century adventure novel Treasure Island. The film is set in a future where people inhabit and explore a breathable outer space. Jim Hawkins (voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is not your typical Disney hero. Between his ponytail, pierced ear, and police record, this young man has the troubled teenager act down pat. His single mother Sarah (Laurie Metcalf in a role similar to her Toy Story duties) worries about him and wishes the intelligence and adventuresome spirit he's shown from a young age could be put to better use. Treasure Planet is a 2002 American animated science fiction action- adventure film [2] produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is a science fiction adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel Treasure Island (1883), and it is the third retelling of the story in an outer space setting, following the Bulgarian film Treasure Planet (1982) and the Italian miniseries Treasure Island in Outer Space (1987). [3] It is the third Disney adaptation of the novel, following Treasure Island (1950) and Muppet Treasure Island (1996). In the film's setting, spaceships are powered by solar sails and resemble the 18th-century sailing vessels of the original Treasure Island. Visual Commentary by John Musker, Ron Clements, and Roy Conli (Audio Commentary with Branching Pods to Featurettes in Behind the Scenes) One of the best things about Treasure Planet is that it puts several twists on the original story, such as changing the parrot to being an alien called Morph; the crazy Ben Gunn becomes a robot who lost his memory banks; and the alien characteristics imbedded into the familiar characters also loosened its ties to Treasure Island.When asked if they drew inspiration from the previous film adaptations of Treasure Island for the character designs, Glen Keane said he disliked looking at previous portrayals of a character to "clear his mind of stereotypes", but that he drew some inspiration for the manner by which Silver spoke from actor Wallace Beery, whom he "loved because of the way he talked out of the side of his mouth." For the characterization and design for Jim Hawkins, John Ripa cited James Dean as an important reference because "there was a whole attitude, a posture" wherein "you felt the pain and the youthful innocence", and he also cited the film Braveheart because "there are a lot of close-ups on characters...who are going through thought processes, just using their eyes."
