20th Century Fox must have ordered him to do it and he wasn't in a position to refuse. I have a copy of his autobiography I've been meaning to read, so I don't know for sure, but I think that was what it was he hated about it.

One thing is for sure: Don Bluth's worst movie will always be better than some incompetent hack's best one.

They did order, and he depressedly did, and predicted/warned them it’d fail but they didn’t listen and pretty much said ‘what do you know?’

And very true about his worst being better than the hacks’ best.

Me too! What’s your fave scene?

Oh, my gosh....hmm....The scene with the Wake Angels. I think.

I haven't seen it in years and the memory isn't what it used to be. But, I still listen to the sound track regularly.

Stealing the ship is another good one.

On the planet at the end hugging in the rain.

Escaping the bad guys.

It was pure action/adventure for me.

Ouais, it was such a great movie I think I love the hologram reunion and Korso I think it was switching to Cale’s side at the end. Damn this movie rocked.

Ooh that’s a hard one, so many good choices! I can’t narrow it down to just one but I love “Over My Head” A close second would probably be “It’s My Turn to Fly” though I do really like “Renegade Survivor” “Cosmic Castaway” and “Not Quite Paradise”

Over my Head is the best, yeah and oh man the others were great. This movie had some great musique for sure!

It really does. It’s one thing to have a good film to start with, but a good soundtrack/score can really bump it up

I loved this movie and cannot see why it didn't get the attention it deserved. I really liked Treasure Planet too.
