When Disney began working on Treasure Planet in the late '90s, the studio envisioned cabin boy Jim Hawkins setting sail on numerous voyages across sequels and a TV series. But a lack of interest from audiences sank the would-be franchise in November 2002 – which was particularly unfortunate for the team already hard at work on Treasure Planet 2.
Director Jun Falkenstein had been involved with the sequel for about 8 or 9 months. Her previous film, The Tigger Movie, was a hit with critics and audiences, becoming Winnie the Pooh's most profitable feature with a $96 million worldwide gross from a $30 million budget. Disney suits needed her to work similar magic on Treasure Planet 2, especially given the escalating budget of the first Treasure Planet.
The sequel was to pick up where the first film left off, with Jim Hawkins going to the Royal Interstellar Academy. At the Academy, he is a hotshot "natural," but he doesn't follow the rules very well. Hence, he gets off to a shaky start – especially with his classmate Kate, who is very smart and has a type A personality. Kate's father is Admiral Blake, the Commander of the Navy. Jim and Kate vie for top of the class but have very different skills.
