That’s all. I watched this as a kid when it came out. I think it’s just something of an antidote for judgmental thinking and the miserable state of not being able to imagine a world with people who _really_ care about you. EDIT: offhand, this movie also shows just how much our civilization has decayed in the past 20 years or so. There are not any popular movies that are this good being made anymore. Seriously, not even one. ---

I watched it somewhat recently. Good movie! You guys should really read the original book! I LOOOOOOVE the Israel Hands VS Jim Hawkins fight. ![image](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/c/c8/20140503171549%21One_More_Step%2C_Mr._Hands.jpg?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=index&utm_content=original) ---

Are you young? If so, this movie is going to blow your mind. I’d guess that anyone Gen Alpha and probably Gen Z cannot even conceive of a USA where seriously good stuff if being produced, and seriously good&great people are around. ---

Nope. I’m a millennial, so it falls under nostalgia though I haven’t seen many of these movies. I know some Z’ers who speak highly of Treasure Planet though. I watched Atlantis a few years ago for the same reason and was not disappointed. I would note that we reaped some of the last goods of a better society. Things have been worse for most younger people. They’ve been corrupted at a really young age just by internet and media and now have to undo the conditioning. ---

There are not any popular movies that are this good being made anymore. Seriously, not even one. What are your thoughts on Ghibli movies? I’ve seen one or two and they’re wholesome. They’re less bubbly than western movies but more whimsical. To be honest many movies from the '00s and '10s are not good. Older stuff always has an appeal in pretty much every era. Take a movie like _The Princess Bride_ which came out in 1987. It’s a classic. I haven’t seen anything similar to this. Many younger people like _Shrek_. It’s also a “fable” or fairy-tale. I really dislike Shrek, but, if I were younger it might appeal given our current culture is humorless and anti-fun. ---

Low Brow? Overatted? (I have not watched those movies in AGES, so I don’t really have an opinion.) ---

No. “It hurts, but I do it for Shrek.” ---

I also do not like Shrek, and I remembered Atlantis as sort of mid but with very cool art. Most movies will be mid in a healthy era. This era is one where most movies are below mid, which is also kind of true for American TV and movies before George Lucas broke the mold (it’s been speculated that it’s because he studied art in France). It never ceases to surprise me that, before Star Wars, the genre of Western was utterly dominant - that’s just how much the other movies failed to interest people. ---
