- Song: I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)
Artist: John Rzeznik
Video Type: Lyric
Purpose: Entertainment
I have become obsessed with this song lately, and I've been in the lyric vidding mood, so here's another one! Two in one day, impressive (well, it was technically two days because it is now after midnight, but WHATEV'S!)
Enjoy!
EDIT: January 30, 2014
Wow! Over 20,000 views! I know it's not really that many views, but for me, that's huge. Thank you guys. I never would have guessed this video would do so well. It as just a way to pass some time. :)
EDIT: May 31, 2014
Oh my goodness! 50,000+ views! I never would have imagined this video would do so well. Thank you everybody!
EDIT: October 9, 2014
Woot! 100,000+ views! Thanks everyone for watching my video! This is fantastic!
EDIT: November 22, 2015
Someone asked for the lyrics to be added to the description as well. So here they are:
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that’s held in your arms
And what do you think you’d ever say
I won’t listen anyway
You don’t know me
And I’ll never be what you want me to be
And what do you think you’d understand
I’m a boy
No, I’m a man
You can’t take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what’s never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don’t know me
Cuz I’m not here
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They’re the ones that stay the same
They don’t know me
Cuz I’m not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I’m not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can’t break me
As long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They’re the ones that stay the same
They can’t see me
But I’m still here
They can’t tell me who to be
Cuz I’m not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleeping
While I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I’ll never believe
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I’ll never change
They’re the ones that stay the same
I’m the one now
Cuz I’m still here
I’m the one
Cuz I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
EDIT: January 4, 2017
Well, someone pointed out that I should add another "total view" update, so I will. 1,150,000+ views! This is kind of insane. Thanks everyone! (even though you're all here for the song, and I really had nothing to do with it)
EDIT: September 25, 2019
Again, I have been advised to add another update. 7mil+ views!
EDIT: February 11, 2023
Another update, since several have asked. 12 million views! Crazy!

Just because it didn't make billions of dollars, and "failed" in Disney's eyes doesn't mean it was a bad movie. It was great!
I mean it's on Disney+ so disney still cares for it
how could they possibly think this movie failed??? i have known countless people that remember watching this movie during their childhood and they all think it's a great movie.
As far as the execs at Disney are concerned, the only way to spell ‘success’ is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
It probably didn’t sell enough toys for them, if Disney can’t milk something for merchandise they don’t care
its the best disney movie
The most criminally underrated Disney movie ever.
Alex Christopher I love treasure planet. It’s such a good movie:)
If it's any consolation, *Treasure Planet* was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It lost to *Spirited Away.* The other nominees were: *Ice Age,* *Lilo & Stitch,* *Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.* Quite a year!
So much! Honestly this is the best Disney movie!!!
@@musicaltheatergeek79 damn, that was a good year for animation. All of them were fantastic
This movie is so nostalgic. I remember being 4 when I first saw it
There aren’t enough stories for boys and young men without fathers out there. This movie invokes more emotion in me than 99% of Disney movies.
Not every story can be personal to every person.
Now we get movies about periods
@@edophoneix1340 oh no! the poor guy feels offended because they wanted to explore a movie about something that affects 50% or more of the population? not everything can be treasure planet. a movie about periods can be good, especially because they never teach children about that and when they have it they are scared shitless
@@papyrusn1fangirl oh look a feminist that doesn't think it's a parents' job to teach their daughters about periods instead wants a CHILDERN Movie Producer "Disney" too do it for them.
@@goldendolphin7743 you using “feminist” as an insult lmaooo. Yes, it’s the parent’s job, but also periods are such a taboo topic to this day, so it’s nice to see movies about it that normalise the thing. There’s nothing wrong about it, maybe you’re just not someone who has periods but I can assure you that it’s doesn’t harm anyone. Children have periods, some have it as early as the age of nine, so idk what are you talking about
"Just a lifelong obsession Jim. I'll get over it"
One of my fave lines in the movie
My fave is about Silvers' leg; "You give up a few tings, in pursuit of a dream." This movie always made me starry-eyed.
Now morph, i need you to keep an eye on this here perp
Ye got the makins o’ greatness in ya boy.
Treasure Planet. Where romance isn't focused in the movie, relatable problems And don't let me get started on the artwork of the environments. One of the only movies where the art got me inspired to do art
23:03.
The blending of 3D and 2D animation was BEAUTIFUL in this movie
It was only a failure per say because the movie took 140 million dollars to make and they only made like 100 million while losing 30 to 40 million which is sad because the movie is amazing
@@link-iv2sl its Disney's fault it failed. They gave it terrible marketing with a trailer that spoils practically everything. And releasing a summer movie (Treasure Planet) in the winter where it's competition was the second Harry Potter, one of the Lord of the Rings movies, and the Santa Claus 2. Wish this movie would have gotten its sequel :(
If you want to get technical, romance *is* focused. Just a different kind of romance.
The romance of adventure and coming to age, the original and purest form of romance.
-based on a classic piece of literature
-a creative take as the setting is space
-steampunk aesthetic
-a screenplay thats simultaneously funny, touching and entertaining
-stunning visuals
-characters who undergo great development
-awesome soundtrack
why is it not getting the credit it deserves?
Cause Disney actively sabotaged it themselves
It is. All these comments are proof.
I think it was released with a big movie at that time
@@guinbrew8541 yeah it was released in winter alongside Harry Potter
Time to promote the frick out of Treasure Planet so it gets the love it deserves.
"How can the world want me to change, they're the ones that stay the same."
Those Lyrics always stuck with me
Because, sometimes, that's the truest thing you've ever heard.
That's probably the most striking rock music lyrics of all time.
Most misunderstood one as well. People really misunderstand tradition
I was about to comment the same thing until I found this... Yes, such line is so true. Sometimes, people are so focused on changing others that they failed to see that they, themselves, need also to change...
Reminds me of all the angry of people on Twitter and Reddit, or facebook moms lol
“Wanna touch things I don’t feel”
I was mentally numb for 2 years of my life from depression, and that line hits hard to those times...
@Smokey Mcb thanks, I appreciate the support and nice words :3
I'm glad you're alright now 😊
Now you ARE the danger
Hope you feel better. One step at a time
Sameeee. Even as a kid I related to that line because I couldn’t describe that feeling until I became an adult
Its crazy that the director of this film Ron Clements who directed alot of the disney renaissance films such as Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules, he wanted to make Treasure Planet before all of these great movies and Disney told him no and thought it was a bad idea. He kept bugging them about it until they said "well you helped us with all these movies we will let you have your project" and they didnt even care about Treasure Planet and supplied it with barely any marketing budget and put it out with other blockbuster movies at the time. Crazy that Ron Clements realized the potential of the movie but Disney did not.
Disney sucks ass sometimes
Most of all, it will be a shame if this universe is never returned to :(((((
This is my favorite Disney animation, I've gotta say.
Actually there is a theory that Disney sabotage'd TP on purpose. You see, at the time there was a need to begin changing to 3d animation. However since most of Dinsney action holders are as old as a fucking pyramides, they don't understand their own field and only interested in financial reports. So Disney *needed* a 2D movie from a know director not just to fail but to literally crash. In favor of this theory we know that Disney: 1 - insisted on using 3d elements in TP, which ofcourse significanty raised production cost. 2 - they reliesed the movie on a fucking winter holiday season, which is basically a death sentense for any non-christmas themed movie.
@@Baloo106 Yes bro, that's right . Let's hope that the rats will return to this forgotten masterpiece at least in the form of a live remake
Treasure Planet, The Iron Giant, Emperor's New Groove, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire are hugely underappreciated, and overlooked gems. They are such fantastic movies. Some of my favorites.
Edit: others are: *Prince of Egypt, David and the Coat of Dreams, Meet the Robinsons, Brother Bear, the Road to El Dorado, and Lilio and Stitch.*
Sinbad and El Dorado (not sure if the last one is disney too)
@@jorgecasanova1999 The Road to El Dorado and Sin Bad are both DreamWorks animation.
@Crab in A Top Hat I'm hoping for that. Disney needs to return to that type of storytelling. Animation included.
@@oddeyes9413 its on Disney+
A G R E E D, i can't spell it out more clear than that.
As a fatherless father, I just want to send all my love and encouragement to all the young men who have grown up without a father's love and taken on the gauntlet with bravery to be more. As a man and a father I am supremely proud of you. I would embrace you if I could. But by gods grace, know that you are loved and he is proud and so am I.
Thank you sir. I am also a fatherless father. I needed this.
I had a father but he was never my father, just psychopath who tried to destroy my life and in that sense, I don't have a father. 4 months ago I finally managed to escape from him, finally managed to start living my life
@@MonsieurArlequin that takes strength. Be the man of which you would have wished fathered you. That is the way to undo the cycle of pain. Praying for you mate
@@charles111709 You're doing just fine mate. Being a man is thankless. But its beautiful. Proud of you brother
I appreciate that man. I'm 27 now my father passed away 20 years ago
Brother bear, Atlantis and Treasure Planet are truly underrated Disney classics ❤️
Hell yeah
Damn right
Idk about Atlantis but brother bear and treasure planet are legends
@@VinjamuriKausthuI understand (February 4th,2024 and March 10th,2024/🙂⚾️).
This song probably has the deepest lyrics of any song featured in a kids movie ever produced
You’re not kidding.
uh-any?
For sure
Try to listen the Italian version…
Ratatouille has a very deep, meaningful song in it as well.
The "let it go" song for the boys. To all my fellow men out there suffering silently right now; i'm here with you. You are not alone.
This one's for you.
Some things are worth fighting for.
But you don't have to do it alone.
@Harrison Drew Same here it's been almost a year for me and it still hurts
This song is for all the boys who’s father left them. Just like mine did. This movie really hit home for me.
Thanks man, I appreciate. ✌
Fuck. You never know how much you need to hear that until someone says it.
when jims dad leaves and his last memory is reaching out for his father. makes this song hit way harder
2:51 The moment when he opens the door and sees his dad leaving is just burnt in my memory. Hit like a truck. I can't hear the song without seeing that shot in my mind's eye. What a movie.
Same I know I'll never walk out on my girlfriend or son if we ever have one
it travels me to my childhood, I really cant not cry
As a kid I never understood the circumstances of why his dad left. I just assumed he went on an adventure and he got lost or died on it and his family was mourning him. But growing up and rewatching with a mature mindset I picked up on the context clues and figured out that he left them because he probably didn’t want to be tied down and wanted to be free to live an exciting life of adventure. I can’t fault him for feeling that way but the fact people can have families and then just leave them like they’re expendable…that’s just so wrong 😢
Fucker didn’t even say goodbye
i know every one of us felt this when our guardians left for work it is as if they dont want us anymore something like that😢
disney killing 2d animation is such an unforgivable sin
Ikr i was like this isnt okie dokie
Yes!
It's one of the reasons I love anime so much, and I know it's not for everyone but Japan does some absolutely stellar 2d animation and the stories can also be fantastic
Theyll bring it back, eventually.
They will def bring it back.
Hey, it's your fault for not watching 2D movies
the numbers don't lie
The one song that hits you with full force of nostalgia.
This song Hits hard and is one of the best songs in any disney movie. I listen to it anytime I need inspiration.
And now christians think Disney is evil well this is proof that they’re wrong
@@yugen8986 this song helps me stay strong I relate to Jim more than I ever realized
Yea
totally underrated movie. totally underrated song. This deserves more love than it got, ever
"The world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming for me."
That line resonates with me so much
while I grew up with very caring parents, the line, "you can't take me and throw me away" hits hard
This movie stands as the greatest animated Disney movie ever. It has great character development. Visuals are amazing. There isn't a dumb amount of random people running around singing *narrating what's happening* it just had great music. It had a great cast. It doesn't have a bunch of princesses crying that there life isn't good or anything. It has real life problems that people can relate too. All in all a great movie
I wish you could like a comment more then once..
bro, i agree with 100%
Its the first and best disney movie I can finally enjoy without any random characters singing for no damn reason
I wouldn't say the greatest. but it is definitely on the top 10 list
What I really like was that they didn’t specify why the dad left and the fact that they didn’t even show the dad’s face. I thought it was a nice symbolic touch.
As a kid who grew up with no dad, this sequence hit hard
Same
Same.
Same
Same bro
Same
My stepson never knew his real dad. I thought about my son the whole time I watched this movie. When this song came on it really hit home. No innocent child should have to grow up without a father. Needless to say, I'm going to take care of my stepson and try to be the best father figure I can for him.
The Stepdad= ❎
The Dad who stepped up = ✅
Best of luck to you ! Its love like that can transcend blood! ❤
This movie is so amazing. It features so many obstacles that i feel anyone can relate to atleast a few of them:
Growing up without a father.
Feeling like you dont belong.
Struggling to fit in.
Raising a kid alone.
The struggle between kid and parent.
The list is long and this movie deserves so much more praise than it has gotten. Incredible movie, would´ve loved a sequel.
*P* *O* *G* *G* *E* *R* *S*
... dude. The stories were always predictable, it's literally fairy tales put up on the big screen. Lion king? You do realize that's a copy/paste of hamlet, but with lions. Right? Oh, OH! What about Tarzan! That story has only been told about 30 times before disney got ahold of it, no way to predict that plot right?
If I might make an assumption here, what you long for is the days when you were a wee little lad and hadn't seen so many films before. Back when all of these 800 year old tropes and stories were fresh and new to your little mind.
@@animorph17 why all the negativity and criticism? why not just take the films as just that a film. to be enjoyed regardless of if it was tropy or not?
@Keldeomaster 224 .... negativity? Disney is my favorite film company and I've been watching every movie they produce since I was a child. Noticing the obvious that the fairy tale story is, you know, a fairy tale? That's not criticism that's an objective statement of fact. Tropes? You mean literary tools that every good story is expected to use, and it's impossible to write a story without one?
Recognizing that a particular trope is over 800 years old doesn't mean it's a bad trope, it just means you are capable of basic pattern recognition.
@@animorph17 ... Quick thing. Disney Tarzan has Jack squat to do with the original, barring some character names and the concept of a man raised by apes. The actual plot is completely different
...and terrible live action remakes
"Nao you lissen ta me, JAMES HAWKINS...You got the makin's of greatness in ya'!..."
"Didn't yer father ever teach ye to pick yer battles?"
"..."
"...Yer father not the teachin' sort?"
"No. He was more the 'taking-off-and-never-coming-back' sort."
Welllll since the captain has put u in my charge like it or not I'll be poundin a few skills into that thick head of yours to keep you out of trouble u won't so much as eat, sleep or scratch ur BUM without my say so! 😂😂
@@laurennorcliffe1001 Dont do me any favors!!
Oh u can be sure of that lad! You can be sure of that! (laugh) *cue music*
So long, ya ol' scallywag.😏
Treasure Planet is THE most underrated Disney film of the lot; but I never truly realised how underrated it is until I watched it again...
I was 6 years old when I first watched it (it came out in 2003 in the UK, where I live). The more I watch this film, the more I learn about the hidden themes that make Treasure Planet the underrated, underappreciated masterpiece that it truly is (despite getting an Oscars nomination).
At least Disney showed enough appreciation to put this hidden gem of a film on Disney+.
As a boy who grew up with this movie actively seeing different men play father roles in my life and now I’m grown and playing a part in a little boy’s life and this one resonates with me on a very deep level. From fatherless to fathering 🤟🏽🤟🏽
imagine a disney attraction in disney world about treasure planet.
Fat ema. That’s the thing Disney wanted it to fail. Disney didn’t care for the masterpiece that is Treasure planet. They purposely messed up the marketing for it. It was competing against Harry Potter and Disney’s own Christmas movie. It was just not the direction the head of Disney wanted. It was “Disney’s Biggest Mistake.”
Fat ema. Quite!
Waffle Lover I thought they did this already? 😮💓
i want
Imagine a closed room with a big moving platform designed as a pirate ship, and the whole inside are walls.
Then ur joining in a 10-15 min ride of pirate spacetravel on the Legacy
Or a ride where ur stand up on a solar board, ur waist is attached so u cant fall, and feel like ur flying like Jim Hawkings im the beginning of the movie
this song is *absolutely* an anthem to kids with learning disorders and abandonment issues
why Learning disorders ???
Or for children that somewhen feel lost or left alone
I have autism and honestly this song fits me alot
OMG YES
Feel you bro.
Why can’t Disney make movies like this anymore. Such a powerful story about a boy trying to learn how to become a man, and needing a father so badly to do so. I want more stories like this. Disney please stop constantly front-and-centering shallow girlboss characters, and I say that as a woman lol.
They’ve copped out. Their movies are all full of politics now. Movies made with the intention to make as much money as possible, not entertain or make the audience feel anything meaningful.
Because the story isn't woke enough for them.
@@AndrewJamesWilliams "everything i dont like is woke. Car stolen? Thats woke. Girl rejected me? shes woke. Corporations making money? Thats woke. Someone challenging my comfortable personal bubble? Thats woke"
go change your diapers, crybaby.
You realize there were a bunch of Disney princess movies released leading up to the release of this one? Are you, like, mentally retarded?
@@Squidward Movies have always been full of politics. That isn't automatically a death sentence. You just have to craft your story and message well. I don't think Disney always does that, though.
“And how can the world want me to change,they’re the ones that stay the same” those lyrics are the ones I relate to the most
The late 90’s to the early 2000’s was the golden age of Disney. This is such a underrated movie a true underdog
Yeah.
This movie is not underrated
It will never be underrated anymore
It wasn't even underrated when this comment
and people should stop saying that
A movie can't stay that course for the rest of eternity. It WAS when it first came out, but it's already grown a cult following, and a really big one too. The word "underrated" is not some kind of marketing tool that you can use for more people to go see it
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 stfu I've never heard anyone before talk about this movie besides on the internet before it is so under rated still its is a really good movie it was a commercial flop in the theaters so shut up
“He may have been your father, but he wasn’t your daddy” this song and movie makes me think of that.....
RIP yondu
It was the original as Silver, Yondu was the copy but both are forever legendary
Fuckin 1ierdos
Yep
Thank you! I thought I was alone.
It's 2022..time sure flies hella fast mates. I bet there are also gen Z people here listening to this nostalgic song to the point of relating yourself to jim.. This movie was a master piece indeed..
Still here Brother
Same
How can they say I never change? They’re the ones that stay the same.
Most underrated Disney movie and soundtrack ever in my opinion . Still hits me at 32 same as it did at 12
I'll be 23 in just a couple days. I've been a fan of this movie since I was little. Treasure Planet is CRIMINALLY underrated. It's easily my favorite Disney movie, ever.
😭😭🏴☠️🏴☠️💛
This reminds me of what my dad used to tell me:
"The world will always want to change you. But from time to time for the worst of reasons. When the tide runs in filth, swim against the current. Even if it breaks your body, it'll never break your soul. Not unless you let it. It is who you are inside that matters, and the rest of the world will never change that. Not to me."
That's wonderful.
thats beautiful
+Jacob Sailer Eloquent!
+Jacob Sailer I can say that your dad had been through a lot. Wise man :)
+Jacob Sailer
Can i quote that?
Who else here is feeling like Jim these days?
Having grown up without a father, who left (coincidentally) around the same age as Jim's, i feel like Jim every day. Though im starting to find myself.
I do
My parents divorced in 1999 and my father left us. This movie came out in 2002 and it felt so comforting being able to relate to Jim.
2020 and still trying to find out who i am, bud. We all feel like him some times.
@@earothefancy8144 yes me too dude
This movie and song will forever hold a special place in my heart. When I was a little girl I would wear. this. song. OUT. As an adult, the lyrics hit so different now that I actually understand them. The interpretation may be different for some, but it's probably safe to say that most are along the lines of change & expectation.
For me, it's dealing with the struggles of being a late-bloomer and not really feeling seen or heard (not from lack of trying). And these are probably the lines I resonate with the most:
"Wanna hold on and feel I belong."
"You can't take me and throw me away."
"You can't tell me who to be, 'cause I'm not what they see."
this movie and song will also always hold a special place in my heart forever too
This movie holds a special place in my heart. I remember watching it with my father when I was 6 or 7 years old. Me n my dad had a great time together back then. Every time I watch Treasure Planet, I think of my father. He died to stroke when I was 14. Now I'm 21 and Treasure Planet is quite nostalgic because it reminded of my father. Rest in peace Dad😢
A solid punch right in the soul.
How the hell wasn't this movie a success?
Because Disney barley advertised it at all or even cared about it and even the trailers gave everything away. I do think it was great
@@Sableantelopeenjoyer plus it releases exactly when Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets came out
That's the thing, to the people who actually watched it, it was a success
The movie was a success, just not financially. The way it has touched all these people in the comments shows that
Not enough propaganda in it.
The early 2000s, the time I was growing up, was the era of the underrated animated films: Iron Giant, Titan A.E., Treasure Planet, A Bug's Life, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Tarzan, Mulan, The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It's actually shocking to me to look back and realize that wider society has all but forgotten about these hidden gems.
I watched the Iron Giant last week for the first time in 10 years. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid but I never realized how amazing it was until now. The animation is absolutely spectacular and the plot was just-wow. It simaltaneously brought up serious issues about nuclear warfare and the cruel realities of human nature. While making me laugh the entire time. Plus, every single character is so well thought out and dynamic. It's truly a work of art. All the other movies you've mentioned are amazing as well but Iron Giant just blew my mind.(also another great underrated film is Prince of Egypt)
You basically listed all my favorite animated movies Treasure Planet and Spirit are the one I rewatch the most
Gosh, I thought everyone had forgotten about Titan A.E. . My dad an I used to watch that and Sinbad at least once a week when I was a kid.
Dude, I watched all of this, so deep 😭❤️
Thanks for making my nostalgia list, time to start rewatching.
Respect to all the good men, fathers, and protectors out there. God can it be hard being a good man in today's world.
It never was easy. It’s not supposed to be.
This song hits so hard for me as a kid who grew up with an absent father and from a neurodivergent perspective of constantly being told what the world wanted me to be and then being punished or outcast when I couldn't be what they wanted and I will never be who they want me to be. Growing up with both of those factors in play, god, this song makes me cry every time I hear it
The fact that people are still commenting shows this song is still here
Always
Oh yeah okk.
hello from 2022
definitely
Definitely
Anyone here in 2019? This is still one of the best songs ever
Best Disney movie with no princess... And best Disney movie ever
My childhood.
One of the glorious things from my past that are timeless.
yes
Yup
To the all the listening the men to this song right now, hold on to your values and morals. Be the hero of your story and the legend your children will talk about for years. No one can be your hero but yourself but remember you're never alone in this journey. Stay strong!
You know, this is a song reaching on a deeper level. When listning with attention I've ended up in tears. Knowing I missed out so much. I was forced to grow up with a father who couldn't make time for you, a mother with dementia and a brother with ppd-nos. You had to teach life to yourself. It's still very hard to 'survive' life without knowing you're welcome to be somewhere. This song reminds me very strong how that time was
Been there than that. Just keep moving forward.. it feels like your not at home but you are in home.
@@MrHades-xq7nu I'm long from away from home my friend. Moving forward isn't easy for everybody, each person has their own pace in life. Me? Still haunted by some thoughts and bad memories. After this hell of good 21 years (I'm 25) I'm happy to announce I love life and happy I didn't turn out addicted to and never did any drugs, smoking, weed or even alcohol through all those years. Still to find my place in the world, but progress have been made :)
This is an expensive cliche where space ships are literal space ships.
This movie is beautiful.
It really is a very beautiful movie... creativity through the roof!
If you're watching this today, it means you're still here. Hang in there, bro/sis.
I’m still here
Amen
Im still here
Thank you brother
Is it just me? That this song is one of the underrated songs that hits you right in your heart
Watched this after a couple years.........not even ashamed to say it had me in tears...... so sad this movie doesent get more recognition, probably one of the most relatable movies for broken families and the feeling of abandonment. But hey.......we’re still here 🙏✝️
Everyone has a heart inside. If we touch their heart through the right way, even an villian can be our best friend, best mentor and father. Loved the animation and still love this song.
This is a beautiful comment! I wholeheartedly agree
Fr
The part of the movie where it shows his dad leaving. Damn.
How did Jim's father died ? .
He died in the war cause he went to war in the navy
Jacob Suzor he didn’t
He left Jim without saying goodbye
From what we can tell his dad just left without even saying goodbye to him that’s rare for a Disney movie. Sometimes you don’t even get a goodbye
AndreNitro X1000 that’s what I got to, cause him ran after him but dad didn’t even turn around
Boy, of all the Disney movies that have appeared in Kingdom Hearts, this is the one I want the most and it breakes my heart it was so close to appear but nothing in the end, just a leftover.
“And how could the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same”
Lines just as criminally underrated as the movie.
John Rzeznik outdid himself. This needs to be heard live on stage.
What band was he in???.

Didn’t play it two nights ago. We were waiting for it in the encore. Damn shame
'Treasure Planet' and 'The Iron Giant' were the best and still are GREAT movies. I still remember the songs and the characters; and definitely will share them with my children someday.

Disney's hidden gem is actually their greatest treasure! Their only movie building up young boys and encouraging them to become great men despite life's obstacles. We need more of that and I'm glad my son got to experience this amazing movie and John Rizeznik really hit home with this song!
To every young boy and man that needs to hear this: keep hanging on, don't give up, don't give in; you are not alone, you are still needed, you are still wanted and you are still valued.
I hope you never forget that and become great men, leaders, husbands and fathers that you are meant to be. "You have the making of greatness in ya"
I still can't believe Disney didn't want this movie to do well, at least its a classic and will forever be a favorite to me and many others.
They failed miserably. It's one of the most underrated Disney movies ever.
Treasure Planet had many Adult themes about feeling lost and soul searching. I'm upset Disney doesn't make movies like this anymore. I absolutely LOVE this movie and I still watch it every now and then. It's so incredibly underrated and even though it has quite a few dark themes, I'm sure MANY MILLIONS of kids(had this been a big hit rather than a forgoten movie) would have been helped and known what they wanted to do with their life. How to move on, how to face life and its harshness.This movies hits me in the heart every time I watch it and the song is just perfect. Its such a perfect combo!
You know why they don't make such movies anymore? 'cause the Studio that animated them was "just" a backup studio in Florida. In 1996 Disney decided to start focusing on 3D Animation and the started working with "A Bug's Life" and basically told the Florida studio "Do what you want." and they did. They produced many of my favorite Disneymovies like Mulan, Tarzan, Atlantis, Lilo & Stitch and a few others. In 2004 Disney completly decided to stop producing 2D featured films and they closed down the Florida studio and laid all of the Animators from there. A friend told me that many of them may work for Dreamworks now
Saki mann shame. The 2ds animated movies from that era were great! All the movies u listed were great. Shame its all 3d now.
Jep, really a shame :/
They had a squeal planned too!
I've never understand why aren't more movies like Treasure Planet and Atlantis. They were my favourites, they have meaning and teach kids. And now, they are underrated. I miss those movies.
Watched this movie opening day with my Dad when I was just a kid. Now, after four years of college, four years of hardship, four years of telling myself "I'm still here," my Dad is about to see me graduate and become a man in a few months. Don't ever let anyone tell you it can't be done, cause it can. This song's never meant more to me than it does now
I watched this film incessantly with my dad when I was little. He loved it a lot, as did I. This song punches me in the gut, I never thought I’d end up feeling like Jim, alone and misunderstood and with an absent father. My dad ended up killing himself a decade ago, I’m 19 now and it still hurts like a motherfucker but I’m still here. It warms my heart that so many people appreciate the beauty of this film and still do. For what it’s worth, I’m proud of your success and I hope you’re doing well now Jacob
@@esmin2400 My heart goes out to you. A child should never have to go through life without their dad’s guiding hand. We’re all Jim, and we all need a Long John Silver to show us the world. As for me, I’m in my second year of law school right now. I’m studying to be a lawyer, I’m getting married to a lovely woman next Summer, and I couldn’t be more blessed. No matter how hard life is, it will always get better. Always. Just keep telling yourself, “I’m still here,” and everything seems to fall into place💪🏽
This movie, Atlantis, Titan A.E. and the Iron Giant hold a special place in my heart. Lilo and Stitch too.
This has to be the most underrated Disney movie. I’ve never felt so much emotion from a single movie again.
Let It Go will never be as powerful and emotional as this song (at least to me)
I'm still here is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than let it go.
@@duncananderson2113 I agree with that. It's not as musically unique or as key to understanding the protagonist's emotional state as I'm still here
@@carlosalmonacid8958 plus Jim is a well written character and Elsa is bland and uninteresting.
Duncan Anderson Both are heavily altered from their original versions, but whereas Jim went from the blank slate sweet kid of the novel to a much more compelling and memorable troubled teen, Elsa went from a powerful villainess to a stock tragic heroine. One character became more interesting when reimagined, the other became less interesting.
@@carlosalmonacid8958 Yeah I heard Elsa was ment to be the villain but after Let it Go was sung they gave us the plot twist with prince Hans.
The whole story of Frozen was about the relationship between the sisters,so Hans being the villain felt pointless.John Silver is a great example of a twist villain,since when it's revealed that he's the bad guy no one is hurt more by this betrayal then Jim,Silver was quite possibly the only friend Jim had and was the type of father figure he was missing in his life.This guy did a video analysis on Treasure Planet which I reccomend.
Jim is this angsty teen in the beginning but sees his actions hurt his mother and Jim doesn't want to hurt her,he goes to find Treasure Planet to rebuild her restaurant and their home.As the movie progresses and when we hear I'm still here it helps understand Jim Hawkins.
It's sad that Disney doesn't make great content like Treasure Planet,Gargoyles,Lilo and Stitch,Hercules and Tron anymore. Nowadays they just buy big name franchises and remake their films.
There was always something special about this movie to me. I just felt... endeared to Jim and John Silver's pseudo-father/son relationship. I don't even have problems with my relationship with my own dad. But something about the way they act together about halfway into the movie when they're still on the ship, I just felt enthralled with the two characters. I cry almost every time I go back and watch this movie. And it's made all the better when Silver isn't turned into just another cliche evil villian. Maybe it's because the original book was just adapted really well by Disney, but I feel like they did actually care about those few scenes on the ship where the story slowed down, and we just got to see the two interact with each other.
💖💖💖
Disney may have produced it but it was a very special directors vision that saw it translate so well. Disney tried to shoot it down.
*SAME,* for everything you said!!! ✨💜
Cryogenius333 they shot down the idea multiple times before they finally had to do it after a deal they made with the directors
I have seen countless times since I was a kid.. I'm 18 now and still cry everytime I watch it.. Every talk silver and Jim have is so beautiful and emotional. Even when they were fighting on the planet.
The anthem for all the underdogs. Amazing song for an incredibly underrated film.
yes this is a amazing song for a incredibly underrated film
Treasure Planet. Criminally underrated movie and at a time when Disney made great hand-drawn animated movie.
*I just saw this again after many years and it still awakens strong emotions and nostalgia inside me*
Same, brother
Same
Same
same
honestly tho
"They can't break me as long as I know who I am" ❤❤
There really is something about being comfortable with who you are that makes insults and unwarranted criticisms just sort of bounce off. I doubt there's anyone who can't relate to that line.
Brother bear, meet the robinsons, treasure planet , atlantis the lost empire. any other horribly underrated disney movie you can think of?
Only Disney movie I feel is criminal to NOT have a sequel… this has and forever will be my favorite Disney movie. So underrated and so under appreciated…
This movie is so good. It paints a picture of space unlike any sci-fi film out there by making it fantastic and wondrous rather than cold and empty. And that art style! A lot of the film from this era that had this art style feel cheap to me, but a few could really pull it off well, and this is definitely one of them. The story features a fairly stereotypical character for the kind of story it wants to tell, but without a romantic subplot, which is something I commend the makers for.
It was quite a while since I saw this movie, so there are probably many flaws I'm missing, but I'll always remember this as one of my favorites
This movie is actually of the best Disney ever made. The plot, animation and soundtrack are just amazing💗
This is the theme song to my life. Never taken seriously and always for granted by people. But here I am out in this world still trying to prove myself and I will get to where I want to be whether anyone wants to acknowledge me or not. I am thankful for my family and the handful of friends who have stuck by me as i've gone through trial after trial, but I will never be satisfied until i've persevered and made a name for myself. I'm still here and still trying to make it. A heartfelt kudos to everyone else who feels this way.
I know how you feel man.
This song is so beautiful / perfect / meaningful that it moves me to tears.
I was 6 years old when this movie came around. I had the VHS of this movie and would watch it on repeat. I didnt understand at the time why it was my favorite movie or why it spoke so much to me, but I came from a fatherless home. My father walked out on me just like Jim's father did, and I never knew why. I grew up just wanting someone to give me a chance to prove that I'm worth it. Looking back at it now and listening to this song I finally understand. We may not know all the reasons why people betray us the way they do, but we can choose to be better and walk a good path. We can reach out and experience life still, we can carve our own path and blaze our own trails. We don't have to be defeated and give up. Eventually we will find the place we belong. So to all the people who watched this movie as a kid and had father issues, I want you to know that you're not alone. And just like you, I'm still here.
People: "Anyone listening in 2019?"
Me: Are you saying... the song is "Still Here?"
Andrue Klements i actually found a comment wich is 6 days ago 😂 I don't know why i am that excited 😂 Sorry, have a nice day 😂❤
@@tp-wp9cp You have a Nice Day too!
Hahaha good one
Jup im stil here lising this! This me and my brochter first movie at the cinéma ever. This movie is just underatte.
God damnit
Take my upvote and leave
The MOST underrated song in kids movies, and before anyone says anything I’ll explain in a very short way. This song is about Jimbo’s kid memories of his father leaving him and his mother when he was young. However, at the beginning of the film we see Jim doing illegal things such as trespassing properties, amongst other stuff. He was a very rebel teenage, but here’s the catch he grew up in a single parent household. One of the most problematic thing in our current society is that more and more and more kids are growing up in single parent households, which directly correlates with the high crime rates in certain communities.
I relate to this so badly. My dad and I used to watch this film constantly, he loved it and as did I. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad was very mentally ill and ended up committing suicide a decade ago, leaving us alone and making me connect so strongly with Jim. I lost any male influence at such a young age, my best friend, my parent and I turned to self destruction for a long time, still do tbh. This song and this movie will always be the most valuable thing to me, the only piece left of my dad really. I’m getting a tattoo for this film in a few months because even though I’m not thriving, I’m still here.
@@esmin2400 omg, that is so sad, im sorry that you lost your dad is such an awful way. Be strong, im sure he loved you a lot. Suicide is just such a sad thing to happen to people, sometimes people think it's the best option for their problems without realizing what an affect it has in friends and family members. Things will get better I promise just stay strong.🙂 and love life.
@@esmin2400 I’ve just read your story. This really is a sad story to hear. If you’re reading this, the one thing I would wish is for you, your best friend and your family to stay strong. Things will get better and I’m sure that you’ll do your father proud by achieving what you want to achieve and by doing all the things that you can look back on. You could inspire many people in your situation, around the world to stay strong.
Stay strong.
@@starkers1997 hey buddy, thank you so much for this. I’m doing a lot better now. Time is a great healer
its compounded by schooling and poor/decaying parental supplements that never reached as far as they should have
This song hits harder everyday, generally a great movie. I love how Jim finds a father figure in Silver and the track just solidifies the entire scene
This song gave me the motivation to stay in the world 🥰🥰
I put this movie to my little brother, he said it was the most boring movie he’s ever seen I have never been so disrespected in my life.
I'm so sorry, but you are going to have to trade in your brother for a new one. Your brother is broken. Please contact the manufacturer. I hope he's still under warranty.
That makes no sense, it's action packed with amazing animation, music, dialogue...
I can't believe it.
I think you should not call him Little Brother anymore.More suitable like Devil or just call him Bitch
Give him a few more years and try again. Don't know how old your brother is but I remember watching it when I got older and understood it better. It's a really good movie. Underrated in my opinion and one of the best disney movies ever made.
I'm sorry, but you have to kill him.
"They can't break me as long as I know who I am."
This is wonderful. Now what you're worth, and when peuple try to break your body, they wont even be able to see that your soul is way stronger.
And And what I'm You And how Yeah you.
First off, John Rzeznik. Second, this song and lyrics was/is just was a masterpiece. I wish more people knew of this song. I loved this movie as a child.
It has been... a VERY long time since I heard this song. And let me tell ya as a boy I loved this song, as a man it hit home in a way that nothing else does. Lately I have been feeling unseen, unheard, and undesired. This song helped me feel vindicated for just a moment. Thank you to whoever posted this
The lines "I'm still here" at the end sound like a desperate cry in my mind.
DefectiveDetective exactly and, in a lot of ways, a conviction.
My mom took me to watch this movie in the theatre when I was 5 years old, and for a really long time this movie made me kind of bittersweet happy, because I grew up without my father as well, actually, to be true, I grew up without any significant male model, except for my grandpa, but even he feel distant to me, so I was a lonely, overprotected child, so overprotected that I grew up ignoring many things about my own life, and sawing Jim go ahead and make the things for himself, on his own way was really inspiring
And now, I'm 20 years old, and I find a different meanning in this song, cuz now I found someone who make me feel real. Someone that inspires me to follow her example and try to be a better person, and is great
Is it there still people that still addicted to the song?? YESSIR✨
Man this song makes me feel like things will be okay. Honestly this is in the top 3 best movies for me. This song though man. Nighttime looking in the sky and really feeling these lyrics… shew
This movie is so underrated. The story is a classic and the setting is like steam-punk meets 80's Sci-fi... how can you not love it?
Disney should do a Life action of this movie
Beautiful. It's a shame the movie didn't make it.
Even more of a shame that the pilot for the second movie was cancelled, and thrown in the trash. It would have been a good movie, from all of the leaked info that there is about it.
At one point they had a sequel planned along with a tv series
It made it in our hearts.
It's one of the most underrated movies.
I JUST DONT GET IT 😵 BARTOK ANOTHER ONE.. AWESOME FLICKS...YEY BALTO TOO
I lived thru some ruff times with this movie being the only thing that brought me comfort. My favorite Disney movie ever made by far
the lyricism plus the amount of nostalgia, enought to make a grown man cry
God, this movie sure was something. I watched it again a few years ago, when i could understand its nuance, and i wont lie that i cried. It felt like, for once, there was someone who remembered me, even at my worst.
After years of people trying to change me, make me who i wasnt. Years of denying who i was. Years of not having people ehen i needed them most.
But im still here. Im still here, and im not going anywhere unless im driving.
This song is beautiful, and an homage to the broken, the fatherless, the destitute, the forgotten, and the pressured.
Yes.
“And their words are just whispers and lies that I’ll never BELIEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEeee.”
Best part.
Of course ✨💜
untitled i recommend you the EXCELLENT french version which is as powerful as this one... maybe even more
I like a bit more this one "And how can the world want me to change, they're the ones that stay the same"
Still a classic. Makes me miss the old days
"How can they say I'll never change, there the ones that stay the same." That line hits hard.
List this one under Disney's most underrated films AND soundtracks....right along with Hunchback of Notre Dame.
IKR?!
*gives a plate of brownies* THANK YOU!!!!!
BROWNIES!!!!! THANK YOU!! wait....are there nuts in these?
If you want there to be ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dude. Put it away.. :l
This song simultaneously makes me feel like I'm flying and yet completely exposed.
So beautiful.
As a 17 year old who grew up without a dad I really wish I found this movie sooner. Imo it has great messages that relate to a lot of real problems that kids go through these days. Real gem
Yeah it gets you right in the feels and you're not alone having to deal with certain problems bro
You should read the book Treasure Island the movie is based on.
Man this movie has stuck with me ever since I first saw it as a child. And it literally breaks my heart how disney actively sabotaged this movie. I even had Jim sailing on his solar sail as my phone background for the longest time.
