so Treasure Planet has been absolutely DEVOURING my brain for the past two-ish weeks and I've watched so many reaction videos to it and watched the dvd commentary and things twice and something I haven't seen anybody else mention is that way that Jim steadily gets taller throughout the movie
This scene is right after the Benbow gets burned down, and Jim is noticeably shorter than his mom here (and if you look carefully it's not because he's slouching, he's standing relatively straight up here (also good lord how tall is Doppler???))
But then in this scene after the journey when he reunites with his mom, even though he's leaned down a little bit for a hug they look like they're about the same height
And then here in the epilogue scene he looks to be just a little taller than her. And I'm not sure how much of this was entirely intentional because it's not something mentioned on the DVD commentary, but it feels like a nice touch in terms of both accuracy (because many fifteen-year-old boys still have some height left to grow) and as like a physical representation of his character growth, where he gets a lot taller over the course of the journey on the ship when he's doing a lot of character development and then only gets a little taller between coming back and the epilogue, where there's less development but still him making new choices. it's just another cool thing about the movie that i've never seen anyone point out
Absolutely love this, even more depth to the story as a whole.
