there were two good things about Treasure Planet.
1. The single "I'm Still Here" by Johnny Rzeznik
(I've seen the Goo Goo Dolls in concert three
times. It should be four, but the roof collapsed
during one of their rehersals and the concert was
scrapped). That is one cool song to be sure.
2. The idea itself. The whole idea of taking a
classic novel and giving it a new direction is
intriguing to the English teacher in me. I am for
any major studio opening children up to
literature in any fashion. However, I think they
could have pulled it off much better than they
did. The great animation just didn't win over the
writing and characters for me. |
