Disney's Treasure Planet was an ambitious effort to mix old-fashioned animation with CGI, restyling Treasure Island in space. For all its $140 million, it took in only $110 million worldwide. Critics lauded the movie's visuals but condemned its inconsistent tone and lack of charm compared to other Disney hits. Released during a crowded holiday season, it was overpowered by stronger films. Time went by, but Treasure Planet built up a sort of cult popularity among fans and appreciators of ambitions and unique settings.
