Line 31:
** One can not quite underline enough how inaccurately the film portrayed Supernovas.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Scroop. To a ridiculous extreme.
* [[Babies Ever After]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia, and their children. In both trope and number, the babies are a [[Shout -Out]] to the [[Lady and The Tramp]] pups.}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Both Morph and B.E.N. have their moments.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: But, really, how do characters in space suits convey a father-and-son relationship so perfectly?
Line 92:
{{quote| '''Amelia:''' Actually, Doctor, your astronomical advice was most helpful.<br />
'''Doppler:''' Well, u-uh, thank you. Thank you very much. Well, I have a lot of help to offer, anatomically--amanamonically--as...astronomically. *[[Face Palm]]* }}
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: Played with in that {{spoiler|it's the ''villain'' who has to make the choice. And he chooses the friend.}}
* [[Fungus Humongous]]: Treasure Planet's aesthetic.
* [[Funny Robot]]: BEN.
Line 157:
{{quote| [http://dolphy.shadowwalkers.net/DVD-Screenshots/BEN/Ben03.jpg "I just wanna hug ya and squeeze ya and hold ya close to me!"]}}
* [[Not That Kind of Doctor]]: Invoked.
** This is also a [[Shout -Out|shout-out]] to [[Star Trek]]'s Doctor McCoy: "Dang it, Jim. I'm an astronomer, not a doctor!"
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Scroop. Also, the big bad pirate from the introduction story, too.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Ben gets one of these moments when he goes to disable the laser cannons.
Line 188:
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: [http://dolphy.shadowwalkers.net/DVD-Screenshots/GettingInTooDeep/GITD20.jpg Oh, can those eyes get any bigger?]
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The working title was "[[Lampshade Hanging|Treasure Island in Space]]".
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Silver's cybernetic eye turns red during his... less friendly moments ([[Heel Face Revolving Door|not necessarily correlated with which side he's on at the time]]). Normally, it's gold.
* [[Riddle for The Ages]]: Just who built Treasure Planet, and where did they go?
** The artbook, [http://www.amazon.ca/Treasure-Planet-Discovery-Jeff-Kurtti/dp/0786853662 A Voyage of Discovery], explains that Treasure Planet was actually built by an ancient race called the [[Precursors|Forefathers]] who used the portal to learn more about other alien cultures. They eventually disappeared and left the entire planet behind.
* [[The Right Hand of Doom]]: John Silver's cybernetic right hand, with a robotic peg leg.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: More or less everything.
** [[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?]]
* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: Played so straight, as with [[Status Quo Is God|any story involving]] a forgotten treasure trove.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Amelia, Dr. Doppler, and even Silver both provide quite a bit of this.
Line 221:
* [[That's No Moon]]: {{spoiler|Treasure Planet turns out to be a giant artificial construct, with Flint's trove hidden in the core, and the whole planet was rigged to explode should anyone try to take it.}}
** There's also the spaceport, which was intentionally built to resemble a crescent moon from a distance.
* [[Thigh -High Boots]]: Captain Amelia.
* [[Time Skip]]: About 12 years after the [[Distant Prologue]].
* [[Token Human]]: Jim, as the [[Audience Surrogate]].
Line 230:
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: So, Amelia is a [[Catgirl]], Doppler is a Dog Man, John Silver looks like some kind of shaved bear, Morph is a Squishy Pink Thing (although [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on the cute part), and Scroop is a horrid Spider-Scorpion. Guess who the bad one is! Go on!
** Subverted in that the rather ugly {{spoiler|Silver [[Heel Face Revolving Door|turns like a weathervane]].}}
* [[What Song Was This Again?]]: The French version of "I'm Still Here" is translated to "Un Homme Libre" (A Free Man) and becomes less of a song about a boy telling off the universe and something more like 'if you feel like a reject, maybe you should run away'.
* [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men]]: To a degree. It's been somewhat Disneyfied, but the pirates themselves evoke this trope. Quite literally in Silver's case.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Spelljammer]]'' meets ''[[Treasure Island]]''.
