Oh. Sometimes…plans go astray.

I WILL STAND BY THIS INCREDIBLE DELIVERY AND ANIMATION UNTIL THE DAY I FUCKING DIE

Especially because of the way that they positioned this entire scene. I mean… look at how the animators designed this. 

This movie is about wilful loss

Just… stay with me for a second on this one. Because Treasure Planet may be one of the only fucking movies I’ve ever seen that says losing may be the best and brightest option. 

You’ve got Jim, who’s emotionally tumbled up inside, chasing things just to feel anything, losing more and more of himself the farther he goes. He’s desperately searching for something metaphysical and losing miserably, and so he decides instead to try and look for a treasure, wondering if maybe a tangible goal could fulfill him. 

And then you have Silver, who we’re not yet sure of emotionally, but physically, he embodies the idea of accidental loss- where he’s lost parts of himself trying to find something material. Obsessing over things and objects and, in return, failing. He decides to give it another go, trying to steal a ship and take a crew and eventually succeed in hoarding the largest treasure the galaxy had ever seen.

Then the physical and the metaphysical meet. And they sit. And they talk. And, on a single trip on a single boat, they find what they need. 

And they find it in losing

Silver gives up treasure. 

Jim gives up trying to earn a lost fathers pride. 

And it’s only by giving up their goals that they can find new ones. 

I’m not saying that this movie promotes giving up dreams. Far from it. This movie, instead, promotes the wonderful and delicate idea that if we push ourselves onto dreams, we’re likely to lose them and, in return, lose ourselves. 

It’s the things that we allow to happen to us, when we let ourselves to be vulnerable, that truly change us and make us whole. 

Fucking superb you funky little space drama.

Friendly reminder: when people say ‘as long as you tried your best’ it doesn’t mean ‘the best you could possibly have done ever’ it means ‘the best you were capable of at the time.’ Sometimes ‘trying your best’ is just getting out of bed in the morning. Just because you weren’t working yourself to the bone doesn’t mean you weren’t trying your best.
