| dude, they put that in Treasure Planet because the kid wanted to be a pirate or at least an explorer, but he of course didn't have his own ship to sail around in...so he made due with what he could afford, which is, yes, like a sailboard that flies. It really does fit into the movie very well, which you'd have known if you'd seen it instead of judging it from some random clips in some ghey PS2 ripoff. |
