The Forefathers used this device for research, explor rent worlds and gaining knowledge of other civilizations. They never interfer: sed harm to any of the worlds they visited. Eventually, the Forefathers evolved | er physicality, merging to become a brilliant force of living energy which way Their fantastic creation lay dormant for centuries. Thousands of years later, a notorious band of space pirates led by th bus Captain Nathaniel Flint stumbled across this device. With the help of io Electronic-Navigator, known as B.E.N., they figured out how to operate ha nism and discovered the ancient portals. However, unlike the benevolent I rs, the pirates used this fantastic construction for their own greed. They loot i laged a thousand worlds, appearing from out of nowhere and vanishi: it a trace, They stashed their vast, ill-gotten booty in the subterrane 1 of the mechanism, which later came to be known as Treasure Plan As the years passed, Flint became paranoid and consu: h avarice. He tried to kill the crew members who remained 7 ‘Those spacers who could, escaped his wrath through the porta s cabin-boy, young Billy Bones, made off with the“key" to the port ing Flint trapped with only B.E.N. and the treasure he had accrued! inthe core of Treasure Planet. As Flint neared death, he was determined th return to steal his fortune. So, with B.E.N’s hel explosive at no one would ever Ip, he rigged an elaborate Sequence that would be triggered by anyone who ever tried to reenter the interior of the planet, Just before he died, Flint pulled out B.E.N’s nemory circuit so that the little robot suld not be able to reveal the existence of booby trap to any unwelcome visitors. Then the depraved captain expired, sur- nied only by the cold, gleaming sparkle his wealth, B.E.N. was left to wander the extensive nnnels of Treasure Planet without his xemory, until eventually he made his way he surface. One hundred years later, the story of Captain Flint and “the loot of a thousand orlds” has evolved into the stuff of legends, Most everyone has heard of Treasure lanet, but no one is sure if its myth or machination, though it has become the objec- ive of many a starry-eyed treasure hunter. The pirate John Silver has spent a lifetime searching for Treasure Planet, giving up an arm, and leg in the course of his pursuit. He is finally on the verge of success, track- ing down the now one-hundred-yéar-old Billy Bones. Silver has pursued his elusive quarry to the distant mining planet of Montressor, locating Bones in the town of Benbow, at a small down-on-its-luck bed-and-breakfast run by Sarah Hawkins and her son, Jim Young Jim Hawkins knows the legend and lore through his childhood storybooks. Little does he suspect the amazing direction his life will take when he joins a most fan- tastic adventure in search of Treasure Planet. . . ‘bove: Early deeclopment pening of Troarure Panot by Obit Opposite: Rough enimation of Bint by Join Pomeroy Vechor Trenton Planet 7 ad Creating a World Treasure Planet isthe beainchild of animal dlesclopment of virtual sets that were pinted and lit director Ron Clements, who frst imagined ‘way that not only added a visual reality never scen before “Treasure Wand in outer space” while searchin ‘on the screen but one that had heretofore only been Fiction/fantasy-type project that 1 possible in live-action films and theatrical productions.
