Movies that feel likeTreasure Planet (2002)

When space galleon cabin boy Jim Hawkins discovers a map to an intergalactic "loot of a thousand worlds," a cyborg cook named John Silver teaches him to battle supernovas and space storms on their journey to find treasure.

If you loved Treasure Planet, the closest films we have are Labyrinth (1986), Peter Pan (2003) and Long Way North (2015). All three share Treasure Planet's epic and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Escape to Witch Mountain (1975).
