10 Best Animated Sci-Fi Movies

9. Treasure Planet

Treasure Planet's story may not have been original, but it was beautifully and loving crafted as an homage to both Treasure Island and the Sci-Fi genre.

Another example of just how perfectly Sci-Fi can slot into the family film genre, Treasure Planet, while a moderate success, never quite reached the same heights as the other Disney releases of the same era.

Treasure Planet boasted an impressive cast; with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Hyde Pierce and Emma Thompson but a few of the names to lend their voices to the film.

The film's story is a classic, quite literally - the story having been lifted from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and given a shiny Sci-Fi makeover, and it is no less enjoyable for it.

It's hard to find anything to dislike about Treasure Planet, it's colourful, it's fun, and it has a great theme song performed by The Goo Goo Dolls. There were even a handful of very addicting (although somewhat simplistic) PC games released on CD-roms that came free in cereal boxes, which many children of the 90's remember fondly to this day.
