I wanted to see Treasure Planet, but haven't managed to yet. After the Sinbad movie, I made a mental note to be cautious of movies that seem to fall off the planet shortly after release.

If I ever get the chance, I'd like to see it, though.

I can't say I disliked Atlantis... but I think they had a lot of wasted potential. Mostly, it was Þe Olde Standarde Pulp Plot with a lot of gratuitous Eye Candy. I don't mind eye candy, but when after it's said and done that's pretty much all I can remember, I don't usually feel really inclined to watch a movie again. That, and I'd pretty much felt like I'd seen it all before performed by Kurt Russell, James Spader, and Mili Avital. (And later by Joe Flanigan and Rachel Luttrell, who were way more entertaining than Milo et al.

)

I did manage to see Lilo and Stitch fairly recently - and I liked it. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting it sometime. Lilo's... unique sense of humor cracked me up. Very Happy

Yeah, the falling short of potential is the only gripe I have with Atlantis. So much more could have been done, but it was the usual mix of time and resources (lack of both in development, to a degree, and on screen).

I like Lilo and Stitch because it's so non-traditional and I can relate to Lilo so well. It's just fun.

I just want to say that I didn't mind Atlantis, and I thought Treasure Planet was fine, we actually have both of them on dvd, so I'm not bashing them. It's just when you compare them to things like Aladdin and TLM, they just don't really stand up.

You know now that I think of it. It is hard to define a Golden Age. Many people think it started with the little mermaid to the lion king. Or it coul only be the movies that happened when Walt Disney was alive. But I think now that it depends on the person.
Some movies sequels could touch someone differently. Like I read that there was this woman who loved disney. But she found out she was going to die very soon. On her gravestone her husband wrote something along the lines of Thanks for being my beauty and thanks for loving a beast.
When I read that it really touched me and I thought every movie has an affect on someone different.
