One of the biggest missed opportunities in Disney Infinity thus far has been that Treasure Planet hasn't gotten any love. Disney Infinity 2. 0 will have the release of Jim's Solar Surfer, but that's just a skin for the hoverboard. I would love to see more of Treasure Planet represented in Disney Infinity. So today we are highlighting a few wish list items from the classic film.

First, we have power discs! Treasure Planet has some visually stunning scenes and some great skies and terrains that could be easily utilized to create some really neat Toy Boxes.
The Etherium |
Transform the sky dome into the Etherium from Treasure Planet. High in the sky, glowing like a full moon, would be Montressor Spaceport, the crescent shaped port for flying ships. The sky would be filled with stars in a purple and deep blue haze. Occasionally, the door that Captain Flint used to plunder from a thousand worlds would appear, opening briefly to show a his loot. A space galleon, like the RLS Legacy, could fly by every now and then. The music would be "The Launch" from the soundtrack by James Newton Howard.
Treasure Planet |
Change your Toy Box to Treasure Planet! As Silver and his crew discovered Treasure Planet and it's secrets, you can too! The ground would be a covered with vines and creeping plant-like organisms, but underneath it would glow green. Pulses of green would light up the terrain, leading you ever closer to the centroid of the mechanism. Strange alien plants, some tall and airy and others long and centipede-like, would be able to be placed, truly given the look of an alien world. The water would be dark and foreboding, lined with small tube like plants. The music would be "Ben" from the soundtrack by James Newton Howard.
Last, but not least, we would love to see Jim Hawkins as a playable character. Long John Silver said it best,"You got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls! And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, and show what you're made of... well, I hope I'm there, catching some of the light coming off you that day."
That description sounds like the perfect reason to include Jim Hawkins in a future Disney Infinity release. Jim is resourceful, clever, and believes in the impossible - I'd say that he would fit right in with Disney Infinity, where the impossible is just the beginning!
