So how old is Jim exactly?


I watched it last night on Disney Channel, and couldn't figure out how old he was. I'd guess like, between 16 and 18.
Thoughts?

according to the deleted scenes, he is 15 years old

i missed the beginning, saw a boy under a blanket reading and then '12 years later' so i figured 16-18.

Well 16 isn't to far off, I figured maybe 15 or 16 because his whole personality. He was trying to be better than he was so I just decided to go with 16

No he's clearly 15 it's been stated in all of the information about Treasure Planet if you need to look it up.

In the commentary, the directors said that Jim was 5 years old at the beginning and then 12 years later he was 15, but I think they made a mistake. See if he was 5 and then counting in 12 years in the future, he would of been 17 not 15, but I still believe that he's 15 they just made a little error mistake on the years and age a bit.

That makes no sense, heaps of kids can read before six, and some don't even start until they get to school.

In the bonus features they clearly state that he is 15 in the movie. :)

He wasn't actually reading the book...it was being read to him by the book itself (kind of like tv...except cooler). haha
He definitely looked like he was 3 or 4 in the beginning which would make him 14 or 15...which is what the producer and director say he is. :D
