Treasure Planet 2 is an scrapped direct-to-video animated film and the sequel to the first film.
According to an article by Animated Views, it would have involved Jim Hawkins going to the Royal Interstellar Academy where he is described as being a bit of a "hot-shot", in contrast to his smart classmate and eventual love interest, Kate Blake. Captain Amelia is the dean of the academy and has a brand new vessel designed by Dr. Delbert Doppler called the Centurion. The new vessel is designed to be the fastest ship in the galaxy and has B.E.N. as the ship's pilot.
Soon, Jim and Kate face their new enemy, Ironbeard who has a desire to take control of the ship. Ironbeard and his gang of pirates then hijack the ship, forcing Jim and Kate to escape and find help from a pirate who can stop Ironbeard. Jim then finds help from his old friend John Silver at the Lagoon Nebula as they plan to sneak on board of the ship and gain back control of the Centurion. However, Silver also has desires of controlling the ship himself and wants Jim to join him, which horrifies Kate and the three find out that Ironbeard is using the Centurion for his own villainous gains, which includes disabling Botany Bay Prison Asteroid's security system to allow escaping prisoners to join the ship. Ironbeard also damages Silver's ship to prevent the three from catching up to him.
The project's art team consisted of Yarrow Cheney, Emil Mitiev, and Mike Inman to work on the film's visual development and Mike Cedano, who animated Jim Hawkins in the original film, returned to animate the film's new villain, Ironbeard. According to director Jun Falkenstein, the film did not go far enough in development to find a composer for the project, though the team was considering Tommy Walter from the alternative rock bands Eels and Abandoned Pools to produce music for the project, similar to The Goo Goo Dolls' frontman John Rezeznik's contributions to the original film's soundtrack.
Most of the original film's cast including Joseph Gorden-Levitt, Emma Thompson, Ashley Tisdale, Dennis Bateman, and Brian Murray was expected to return for the sequel and Willem Dafoe had signed on to voice the film's villain Ironbeard.
It was more so due to their bad marketing campaign and poor choice in release date. Just to give some perspective, the trailers didn’t do the film much good as they had fallen into the trap of spoiling your films key plot points.
Feb 29, 2020 · As shocking as it might sound, Treasure Planet was actually scheduled to receive a sequel. In fact, the creative team behind the first film spent a year drafting the frame for a follow-up film shortly before the original's release. But due to reception and financial trouble, the project was canceled.
