BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

ggatsby-84439 There are a few problems: I didn't like B.E.N., the plot wasn't the best, and I'm not a fan of the early-2000s trope of putting CGI animation over standard animation. But Jim Hawkins was a great protagonist, Captain Amelia was wonderful, the animation was still good despite the CG, and Long John Silver is one of my favorite Disney villains of all time.

namrof I don't know how I never knew this movie existed but I just saw it and I really liked it! It's a great coming of age film. There are pirates, aliens, adventures, treasure, adorable animal sidekicks, a robot companion with great comedic timing and hover boards. What more could a movie lover ask for? This movie has a bit of everything and the story isn't bad. I would actually like this to be a series because I think it could be really cool. A live action version would be interesting to see.

krahnium Underrated movie from the era where traditional animation first blended with CGI.The technical qualities of the computer generated graphics show some age when viewed today, but still the movie has managed to age quite well thanks to memorable characters, solid traditional animation and beautiful backgrounds.The sci-fi adaptation of the classic Treasure Island novel works well without falling prey to too many genre clichés.Recommended.

ladybeliever I wonder why we hadn't heard of this movie before? I thought the movie had a good story, good special effects and there were several moments that my husband and I both laughed out loud! There are two characters in the movie that were our favorites (one adorably cute and one funny). I don't want to say too much and give away the story and/or the characters. I can't wait to re-watch it with my 8-year-old grandson because I don't remember any bad language in it. Enjoy and God bless! OK, my review wasn't long enough to submit yet, so I will add that it was a good mix of drama, humor, adventure, real-life situations and fantasy! My husband said it hasn't been seen by as many people as other Disney movies, yet it has that Disney quality!
