Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

So while discussing the grand trifecta of Weirdly Good Animated Films From The 2000s (El Dorado, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and Treasure Planet) was uh. Was anyone gonna tell me that there was a fourth? A lost sibling. A prodigal son, if you will???? was anyone gonna tell me about Titan AE or was I going to have to find out about it from a RANDOM PINTEREST PIN??

Listen to me. YALL. It’s so good. What the heck. It’s so good?! The plot is surprisingly decent, the animation slaps, theres significantly more violence than I expected and it honestly makes the film better. Animated films usually suffer from the ‘we want this to make it past the censors and be good for kids’ mentality and this one, despite being pg somehow, doesn’t. Several people are shot (yes including blood) and someone gets their neck broken ON SCREEN. The ship fights are incredible and there are a few sequences I genuinely don’t think could have been done in any other medium. The romance is definitely simple, based largely on mutual attraction, but they go out of their way to show them growing as friends and working together. The side characters are fun and the WORLDBUILDING??? The number of times something happened in the film and I thought ‘holy crap, I can’t believe they thought of that’ was insane. Character’s remembering in a panic to exhale before spending a few seconds in the vaccine of space, blood floating around in zero-gravity, characters navigating spaces sideways because they’re designed for use when thrust is coming from a different direction, the main character slowly figuring out how the bad guys worked and using that knowledge to defeat them, some of the music in the film being diagetic in-world music played over comms, surprisingly respectful racial diversity for a movie made in 2000, literally everything was incredible.

Also everyone is hot. That’s definitely a plus. It’s like if you took the aesthetic of Treasure Planet and crossed it with Atlantis’s plot. I know there’s a better comparison here but I’m unfortunately not very well versed in sci-fi media. I’m genuinely impressed. I usually don’t immediately turn around and want to rewatch stuff like that but I’d absolutely watch that again. 10/10 everyone should watch this movie; I’m infuriated that it flopped even worse than the other three and I only just now watched it.

Revenge of the Underrated

17. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm vs Titan A.E.

Vote in the other polls!

Propaganda:

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

It's one of the only Batman animated features that actually allows itself to be tragic. The entire movie is steeped in mystery and intrigue, the art and animation are gorgeous and the story and characterization are unmatched. It is the most critically acclaimed Batman movie ever made blowing every live action attempt out of the water but most people have never even heard of it.

Titan A.E.

My first sci-fi, and I love it still. Great creature design, fun plot, and Don Bluth always hits

It starts with the trial destruction of Earth and a diaspora of the remaining human species being cast across the stars. Years later an orphan is approached by a mysterious friend of his father's claiming to have knowledge of how to create a new human home world, Planet Bob!
