Line 72:
* [[Disneyfication]]: Silver isn't anything like as nice in the original book. And Billy Bones was a most unwelcome guest at the Benbow, staying several months before he died. And Mr Arrow was a drunk.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: In this case, a villain falls ''up''. So, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Inverted Trope]]?
** When [[Fridge Horror]] kicks in, one realises that Scroop won't die from falling upwards. Since in this universe space is filled with air Scroop won't suffocate, instead he will drift in the interplanetary emptiness until he dies of starvation of dehydration.
* [[Dogfaces]]: Doppler.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: One of the most destructive cases ever, against ''[[Titan A.E.]]''. Both films had ''very'' similar plots, both films raced to be released first, and both went down to defeat at the box office, causing a financial collapse in traditional [[Western Animation]] for the ensuing decade.
Line 86:
* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: The movie begins with young Jim reading a book about pirates and treasure.
* [[Fairy Companion]]: Morph (though he/it is also a [[Small Annoying Creature]] for some).
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]:
** Silver's one cybernetic eye, arm and leg.
** Jim's gold earring.
Line 134:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Several. Jim has a very prominent one, as well as Silver - or, particularly, Silver's good side.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: B.E.N. tries to serve Amelia and Delbert "drinks" that appear to consist of machine fluids, although that's more the old "robots drink motor oil" gag coupled with a robot who hasn't had any contact with carbon-based lifeforms in over a century. Apparently, he gets better once he starts working at the new Benbow Inn in the finale.
* [[Like a Son to Me]]: John Silver's relationship with Jim, especially at the end, definitely invokes this trope along some [[Parental Substitute]].
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Apparently no one aboard the ''Legacy'' bothered to take an extra change of clothing for the voyage. Except for Silver, who changed his pants halfway through (because the stripes were too time consuming to draw)
* [[Living MacGuffin]]: Only Jim can read the star-map.
Line 174:
** The black hole sequence, where they actually ''use the fireball itself'' to give them enough power to outrun it.
** The climax, where they {{spoiler|sail through the portal and to Montressor spaceport ''just'' ahead of Treasure Planet exploding behind them.}}
* [[Papa Wolf]]: John Silver. He becomes fiercely protective of Jim and essentially gives up everything, including his life's dream, for him in the end.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: The only song in the movie is about Parental Abandonment. In fact, Disney said they specifically geared the film to single-parent households. Appropriate since it is Jim's motivation for befriending Silver.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Silver. The movie could best be described as a platonic love story.
Line 183:
* {{spoiler|[[Portal Network]]}}
* [[Precursors]]: {{spoiler|Built}} Treasure Planet and the star-map, according to the [[All There in the Manual|supplemental material]].
* [[Punctuated!
** Silver ({{spoiler|cycling through Flint's portal}}): "WHERE'S. THAT. BLASTED. ''TREASURE''?!"
** Silver strikes again with: "Change in plan, lads! [[Face Heel Turn|We! Move!]] '''[[Face Heel Turn|Now!]]'''"
Line 195:
** [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]
** [[Space Does Not Work That Way]]
* [[Scenery Porn]]: [http://www.filmcritic.com/assets_c/2010/02/Treasure-Planet-thumb-560xauto-26481.gif Really], [http://images.epilogue.net/users/vacher/TreasurePl.7.jpg does] [http://movie.zing.vn/Movie/resources/images/phim-dien-anh/2725/wallpaper/source/treasure-planet-83140.jpg this] [http://data.whicdn.com/images/2411029/treasure-planet-11_large.jpg one] need to be explained?
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: It combines 19th-century sailing technology, with technology that appears to have been made centuries into the future.
* [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: [[Rule of Cool|But we don't really care, do we?]]
Line 203:
* [[Slipped the Ropes]]: Done hilariously with Dr. Doppler. Turns out, he has abnormally thin wrists.
* [[Sky Surfing]]: Jim's favorite high-adrenaline hobby.
* [[The Sociopath]]: Scroop is one who's portrayed disturbingly realistic.
* [[Space Does Not Work That Way]]: [[Rule of Cool|except no one cares that it doesn't]].
* [[Space Is an Ocean]]: And everything that goes with it:
