History Fridge / TreasurePlanet

* Speaking of limbs, there's a strong [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolism]] in how Jim reacts to Silver's cyborg arm. [[spoiler: Both times, he offers Jim to shake on it (when he's introducing himself, then later when he's making a deal with him). And both times, Jim doesn't take his hand. Why? Because every time Silver offers that particular hand, it only serves to remind Jim of Billy Bones' warning ("Beware the cyborg!")]]

* This troper has always wondered why you never see [[DisappearedDad Leland Hawkins's]] face during the flashbacks of "I'm Still Here" but then it finally made sense. Jim never looked up to him as a father.

* When Scroop [[spoiler:cut Mr. Arrow's life line, he didn't just [[EvilIsPetty pay him back for the earlier reprimand]], he also "paid" Jim back for the "Bright Eyes" comment. The moment he said that Mr. Arrow's lifeline wasn't "secure" he gave a ''very'' big emotional payback to Jim, by indirectly "blaming" him for Mr. Arrow's death.]]
* Sarah mentioned to Doppler that Jim had a habit of always bringing home a pet. [[spoiler:And by the end, he does bring home a new pet: ''Morph''.]]

* There's some Fridge Heartwarming when Silver [[spoiler:is forced to choose between saving Jim or his treasure. He holds onto the treasure with his mechanical arm, but when he decides to save Jim, he saves him with his human arm.]]
* Jim at one point asks Silver what happened for him to become a cyborg, to which Silver solemnly replies that "You give up a few things... chasing a dream". [[spoiler:In the end, Silver is faced with the decision that he has to let Jim die in order to save the treasure, but he ends up saving Jim instead. Turns out, he was willing to "give up" some of his limbs for his dream, but he ultimately was not willing to give ''Jim'' up.]]

* One notable example is how the plot point leading to Silver [[spoiler:finding Jim in the storage room, realizing he heard about the mutiny]] was because Silver went looking for his glasses to get a better look at Treasure Planet. This when later sequences in the film establishes that his mechanical eye can zoom in on objects hundreds of meters away, leaving the question as to what he'd need glasses for.

** Well, when part of a crew, you have to pull your weight just like everyone else. It doesn't matter if your the employer or not. If you're part of the crew, you gotta do the work.

* More like Fridge Sadness but, Flint's selfish greed brought about the end of what was no doubt one of the greatest archeological finds in history. First he twisted and perverted Treasure Planet, [[spoiler: then planned to destroy everything, simply to prevent anyone from taking possession of ''his'' gold. ''Even after his death, when he'd no longer need the money anyway!'']] In the end, what happened to the planet is a criminal waste.

** There's also the fact that, given the setting ( [[RecycledInSpace Treasure Island... IN SPACE!]] ), the story's been changed enough that the ship isn't ''really'' the Hispaniola anymore... but's it's carrying on the Hispaniola's ''[[MeaningfulName Legacy]]''.

* Bit on the heavy thinking side, but Silver [[spoiler:ultimately realizes that he cares more for Jim than the treasure. Knowing this, how would he have felt like had he really ended up killing Jim which was what he intended before the laser beam knocked them off the boat? His realization wouldn't have hit him until ''after'' the boy was dead, by his own hands no less. Even if he'd escaped, he'd probably spent the rest of his life regretting the sacrifice he made to achieve his hollow dream.]]

* [[ArtisticLicensePhysics The movie didn't portray it]] but [[spoiler: Mr. Arrow's death is probably one of the most horrifying deaths a Disney character's ever been through. Black holes are collapsed masses of dead stars, distorting matter when it gets close to the event horizon. Spaghettification is where the physical object is thinly distorted as atoms are torn apart in collapsing into the black hole. Mr. Arrow's death couldn't have been quick and painless, he had to have at '''least''' felt his body being stretched and torn apart as he fell in--and it must've felt like '''forever''' to him.]]

* Only after re-watching ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' recently, I realized why the planet itself has two rings around it - ''[[TreasureMap they're forming a giant X]]!'' This makes perfect sense since you don't have to dig in/through a particular spot to get the treasure - ''[[spoiler: you have to get through the very crust of the planet itself''!]] [[spoiler: ...Or just [[PortalNetwork go through the right door]]]]. - [[{{Tropers/KingSonndeeDoo}} KingSonnDeeDoo]]

* What happened to Billy Bone's body when the pirates broke in and burned down the Inn?

* During the finale when Jim manages to open [[spoiler:the portal]] Silver zaps through different worlds and briefly a gigantic monster can be seen. This is Space, millions of uninhabitable planets with unfriendly species must exist. How did Captain Flint and his crew weed out the safe ones? [[ParanoiaFuel Through trial and error?]]

* What, exactly, was the nature of Captain Amelia's injury? She clutches her side like she broke a rib but doesn't appear to have trouble breathing; at the same time her arm is in a sling but she doesn't seem to have any problem using it; she must have hit her head extremely hard at some point (probably either when the boat flipped or when the mast was struck and the boom snapped across the deck) because she's disoriented and woozy... holy shit, Amelia, what the hell happened to you?! And [[PlotHole why does none of it make sense?!]]
** She's supposed to be bleeding but that was cut so I think she had something like shrapnel in her side, probably missed her lung or she might have just been pretending to be fine, [[spoiler: especially when the pirates turned up]] and for her arm, she might have damaged the nerves in her elbow or something so she can hardly move her arm. I once ran into a wall and had to keep my arm in the position of having it in a sling because straightening it out hurt too much. After a while it was fine, like how Amelia's arm was later on in the climax.
** She could bruised her ribs and arm. I once slammed my thumb and finger into my bedpost and it felt like I'd chopped them off. My thumb was sore for a few months after that, so it could be that she just couldn't move her arm without feeling intense pain.
** There was a shot where Amelia clutches her side, and then they look at her palm, which is covered in red blood. It made it right into the theatrical release, but was cut for the general release because Disney really hates blood. If this had been left in, you would have seen that her injury is genuinely life-threatening. Taken out, she just looks like she's sprained something.
