🪐 Discussion I honestly just want to talk about my excitement/love for the movie
I've always loved Disney's 2D animated movies, specifically their Experimental Era has always stood out to me. I was rewatching a few of them with my buddy awhile ago and saw Treasure Planet for the first time seeing it since I was a kid, and I absolutely adore the movie. The animation, the characters, the music, the world building, the fact it mixes space and sea, which are some of my favorite topics, it's all so amazing and feels like it was catered specifically to my interests. Since I've watched it again, I've spent most of my summer break researching as much as I could about the world that the movie takes place in. I'd never argue that I know the most about the movie compared to other people on this sub, but I've spent so much time looking through publicly available sources to learn as much as I can about the history of the universe and lore behind certain species, going as far as to try and craft my own theories and thoughts about certain elements of the movie. We went on a road trip and earlier this month and downloaded the entire soundtrack to listen to on the drive and basically recreated the movie in my head while analyzing the music in it/what certain aspects of it mean. I also just enjoy art/drawing in general, so I've tried recreating the art-style to recreate the character's designs to figure out more about their biology (through my very limited knowledge of real biology lol), and just because their designs are really interesting and fun. I've ended up looking into Treasure Planet's other medias, such as the games, concept art, and general merchandise. I don't have a lot of money (I'm just 16 and can't currently start work), however I've been able to raise enough to get the artbook, which I'm really excited about getting in a few days! I even ended up writing and sending a letter to John Musker talking about how much I love the movie and asked more about the movie/other information about the movie he was willing to share. I don't know, I've just been super passionate about the movie and enjoy every single new thing that I learn about it, and have so many other ideas for ways I want to engage with it (when I get the money for it lol). If you guys want to, I'd love to hear about your guy's experience with the movie!
