Disney is embarking on an animated science-fiction version of Treasure Island tentatively called Treasure Planet. It is described as a space odyssey that will feature a cast of characters that includes alien creatures, robots and space pirates. It's also been mentioned as kind of a "Treasure Island on Mars" adventure. Although the characters won't sing, the movie will have some songs (maybe something like Toy Story). No composer has been signed yet. The movie has been rewritten because of its similarities with Fox's Planet Ice, and it will finally be released after the year 2000, when it was originally planned.

Production on the film started on June 1999.
