Book Overview

This visual companion explores the development of Treasure Planet, the Disney film directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. The story reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island in outer space, with holographic maps, solar-powered galleons, and a cyborg John Silver.

The artwork covers the etherium, Montressor, the spaceport Crescentia, the Benbow Inn, and the RLS Legacy. It also introduces the alien creatures and characters who inhabit this universe.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Early character designs by Rick Maki, Kevin Altieri, Alex Nino, and others.
• Visual development paintings of the etherium, Montressor, and Treasure Planet.
• Concept art for Jim Hawkins, John Silver, Captain Amelia, B.E.N., and Morph.
• Details on the 70/30 design concept that mixed old-world and futuristic elements.
• Insights into the animation techniques used in the film, including 2-D, 3-D, and hybrid characters.
• Production stills and story sketches from the making of the movie.

Why This Book Matters

Treasure Planet combined traditional 2-D animation with 3-D computer-generated imagery and introduced one of the first major hybrid characters. CGI was also used for virtual sets, which were painted and lit in new ways. This book preserves the visual development behind those innovations.
