The film was co-written, co-produced and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who had pitchedthe concept for the film at the same time that they pitched another Disney animated feature, The Little Mermaid (1989). It employs a novel technique of hand-drawn 2D traditional animation set atop 3D computer animation. It is at least the second retelling of the story in an outer space setting, following the 1987 Italian miniseries Treasure Island in Outer Space. The film is a science fiction adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel Treasure Island and was the first film to be released simultaneously in regular and IMAX theaters.

It is the 43rd Disney animated feature film. Some Procyons use titles such as 'Lord' or 'Duke', which would be followed by their name.Brother Bear (2003) Treasure Planet is a 2002 American animated science fiction action adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 27, 2002. Procyons usually only have one name, which is usually a two syllable name, such as: Evar, Boas, Rygan, Gunnar etc. Because of this, Procyons who have managed to rise through the military and social ranks will wear ornamental eye masks in order to enhance their appearance among their peers. The size and intracies of the patches under the eyes reflects social rank, and the noblest of Procyon families have the largest patches. Procyon fur ranges from various shades of brown and rust to jet-black and can include white-striping and greying streaks in older members. Despite their size, Procyons possess a 20% higher muscle-to-bone ratio than Humans putting their strength on par with one another. Thus their clothing tends to be more for ornate or protective rather then for warmth.

Procyons are on average smaller then humans (often standing at chest height), and are coated in a thick fur that provides warmth on their homeworld of Laar.
