I thought this film was great. It had characters and a storyline suitable for children, but more than enough for adults too. The juxtaposition of science fiction and the original "Treasure Island" worked well, the action was non-stop, and there was lots of quick "throw-away" lines of adult humor.
For whatever reason, Disney shorted promotion of the film and the intended audience never really found out about it. Why this is so remains a mystery. There were rumors that the two producers got into an argument with Eisner who is notoriously vindictive. The only other possible reason is that the film is that it's aimed more for boys than girls.
