This is by far the best Disney Classic of the decade

And I mean classic animated feature,not CGI or Pixar. And ok,I know that there weren't a lot of them,since between "Home on the Range" (by far the WORST Disney Classic EVER) and "The Princess and the Frog",the department was "frozen",but anyway,it's the best. And here's why:

1) It doesn't have another cliche love story
2) It doesn't have cliche love songs
3) The 2 rock songs that it has are really cool, and so much different than the "Mariah Carey" stuff Disney used to use in the '90s.
4) It's the first Disney Classic film almost exclusively for boys (Mulan??? Bliahhh...)
5) It combines an all time classic pirate story with sci-fi elements
6) It combines classic animation with CGI in an awsome way
7) It's the first Disney Classic in space. Well,ok,ENTIRELY in space! (I almost forgot "Lilo and Stitch" released the same year!)
8) It didn't go well at the box office. Yes,that's a good thing,because it wasn't for the "masses",it was a special one,for the few.

I wholeheartedly agree, this movie is phenomenal! I totally see eye to eye with you on everything you said about it. The Goo Goo Dolls' songs worked perfectly, too :D

It's an invitation to comment on my blog. I'm saving my posts on this account.

Instead of taking time to figure it all out, I decide to organize and it comes to me.

ChristinaBarrett22, we have the exact same birthday. Different years (I'm from '91), but both May 20th, lol :P

I would definitely agree. This is one of my absolute favorites and so underrated. I'm always sad to see that it never gets all the love it deserves.

completely agree. it's obvious that the animators put a lot of heart into the film. it's just beautiful to watch. i think i end up seeing something new every time i watch it. the thought of this blend between traditional pirate movie elements and the sci-fi twist is...well...amazing.

as selfish as it sounds, i'm happy that it didn't do well at the box office too..hah. it makes me happy to know i'm one of "the few."
