History YMMV / TreasurePlanet

** Perhaps the most divisive aspect of the film and what's likely going to make it or break it for a lot of people is the overall setting, which combines the WoodenShipsAndIronMen setting of the original ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' with an sci-fi SpaceOpera setting. Some find it to be an incredibly cool, distinctive and creative setting that makes it stand out from other adaptations of ''Treasure Island'', while others find the mix of two inherently opposing settings to be too bizarre, confusing and off-putting for it to work.

* SoOkayItsAverage: General consensus is that the film is really beautiful to look at and that it has plenty of strong qualities to keep it from being outright bad (such as the relationship between Jim and Sliver), however, the film is held back by a confusing setting, a cast that is largely forgettable (outside of the aforementioned Jim and Silver) and the film generally being a standard ''Treasure Island'' adaptation that doesn't do much new with the source material outside of the unique setting and changing some of the characters.

** Scroop is easily the most distinctive and characterized of Silver's pirate crew, and the writers seem to hint that he'll play [[TheStarscream Starscream]] given Silver's increasingly sympathetic nature and Scroop's clear dissatisfaction with following orders. Aside from [[spoiler:killing Mr. Arrow and a fight with Jim]], Scroop doesn't do much, and he doesn't make it to the climax.

* CompleteMonster: Scroop is the most bloodthirsty member of Silver's mutineers. Completely lacking in his boss' standards and redeeming qualities, Scroop introduces himself nearly killing fifteen-year-old cabin boy Jim Hawkins for [[DisproportionateRetribution mouthing off to him]]. When first mate Mr. Arrow reins Scroop in, Scroop pays him back later by sadistically cutting the lifeline keeping Arrow from falling into a black hole, then pins the blame on Jim just to hurt him even more. Scroop constantly seeks to undermine Silver's authority over him so he can kill off the crew of the ''R.L.S. Legacy'', and meets his end attempting to doom Jim to a slow death in the vacuum of the Etherium: "''do'' say hello to Mr. Arrow!"

* CommonKnowledge: Some fans claim Amelia and Delbert are either both from [[OneGenderRace One Gender Races]] or are actually the same species, making them an example of BizarreSexualDimorphism. However, if you look closely at the background in Doppler's observatory, a few of the paintings have female [[BeastMan Dog Men]], so Doppler's species is not a OneGenderRace and he's not the same species as Amelia. The LicensedGame ''VideoGame/TreasurePlanetBattleAtProcyon'' may have started this misconception, as all the Canids (Doppler's Species) were male and all the Felinids (Amelia's species) were female.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:

%%* EvilIsSexy: Some find Bird Brain Mary sexy. According to the commentary, Ron himself finds her sexy. %% ZCE; PLEASE EXPAND & UNDER DISCUSSION; SEE THREAD ON THE DISCUSSION PAGE

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Doctor Doppler gets Jim out of a spat with a crewmate that speaks Flatula, revealing that he took two years of it in high school. This is never brought up or referenced again.

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: [[JustForPun Nautical puns aside]], there's a substantial portion of fans that ship Captain Amelia with [[LesYay Jim's mom]]. No, we're not quite sure how it started either, [[GirlOnGirlIsHot aside from]] [[YuriFan the obvious reasons]].

** By sheer coincidence, a Bulgarian animated film titled ''Animation/PlanetataNaSakrovishtata'' ("[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Treasure Planet]]"), also an adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel set in space, predates this movie by exactly twenty years. It's notable for being the first full-length animated feature to come out of Bulgaria, and also for being [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs unnervingly bizarre]].
