JONH SIL- i mean Treasure Planet movie...
A Disney movie review? Well, yes, I’m one of those people who haven’t seen certain things of great importance. I really like Disney movies, obviously not all of them, but many are part of my childhood. But in this case, no, I had NEVER seen Treasure Planet, and I have to say that, indeed, it’s one of Disney’s best movies, and now it hurts me to know it was a flop back in the day. I already knew the story of the movie’s failure and also that it’s considered a cult classic, but I never had the chance to watch it… Until now. I was bored at work, so I put it on. It’s one of Disney’s most beautiful movies, and that’s saying a lot because the bar is high. The whole storyline about grieving the absence of a father and how they show it in Jim’s flashback is a delight, and you truly feel the pain both from the protagonist and his mother.
But even though, yes, the movie is great, it’s not one of my favorites, and it’s not the main reason I’m making a log about it… The reason is John Silver, JOHN SILVER IS THE BEST DISNEY VILLAIN AND ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS I’VE EVER SEEN!!! (In my opinion). He’s easily the best antagonist I’ve seen in an animated movie, and I’ve seen many. Since I was a kid, my favorite Disney villains were always Scar and Ursula, but now Silver has shot up to the top spot. He’s such a human character; he’s not completely evil, but he’s not good either. And the words of encouragement he gives Jim when he’s at his lowest are pure cinema, not to mention his character’s resolution is absolutely perfect. He redeems himself by losing the treasure and saving Jim’s life, leading to that beautiful goodbye hug at the end of the movie… An antagonist who thought he lost his heart because of his dream… HE’S THE BEST CHARACTER I’VE SEEN IN AN ANIMATED MOVIE IN A LONG TIME, and I missed out on him for over 20 years. I’m a disgrace XD. I swear, I’m going to watch it again just to fully focus on Silver. I mean, at the end, when Silver leaves Morph with Jim, the look on his face as they say goodbye shows genuine sadness. I want to see more of this character.
