No Respect: Thread of Underappreciation of the Media Variety

[emperor26]

I know a few films that I felt didn't gain the recognition that I felt it deserves at the time.

Aside from a few animated features such as Cats Don't Dance or The Iron Giant, there was an animated feature that I felt was so amazing, and in spite of being based on an old book, I considered it to be a fabulous film. It was Disney's own take of Treasure Island, but with a sci-fi twist, and a new title: Treasure Planet.

When I first saw the trailer, I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked; the character designs were fitting with the movie, the combination between CGI and traditional was very unique and I like the style this film bought on the silver screen. Unfortunately, it bombed in theaters when it was released, due to competition with Harry Potter and Die Another Day.

Hopefully, should the Simpsons Movie be successful in theaters (which I hope), then the public might be convinced that 2-D animation isn't a thing of the past.
